Enoteca: Your ‘Best Enemy’

As luck would have it, we just happened to dine at Enoteca while they were hosting a wine tasting of beautiful red, white and rose Argentenian wines – Ampakama.
After sampling almost 10 different bottles of red and white wines, my taste buds confirm my appreciation for Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Very impressive.
Favorite Quote of the Night: “Enoteca’s wine deals are dangerous. I come here after work for a glass of wine and figure that with two glasses, I might as well get a bottle. (bottles start at rmb99) I invite friends to share the bottle of wine, which quickly turns into 3 bottles. I love this place, but it really is my Best Enemy.”
Gourmet Month Menu Special: For only 99RMB, they offer 4 courses plus a generous glass of wine.
Gourmet Month menu highlights: Pumpkin Soup, Snow Crab Turnip Carpaccio, Poached Veal and all three desserts: Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Mousse, and Cinnamon Crème Brûlée

Best Part:
- The food is up to par with their wine, which says a lot
- They have a great Sunday Brunch
- Their wine specials are dangerously tempting
- They are always hosting wine tastings and Manager Thomas is great with wine recommendations and suggestions
- Great desserts: love their cinnamon crème brûlée and chocolate mousse
- They feature live music (Blues band on Wednesdays, Jazz band on Thursdays)
Comments:
- I wish their food menu was more extensive
- Gourmet Month Menu is a great value – 4 courses PLUS a glass of wine for only RMB 99 (but note that the four courses are more like tapas than course meals)
