Restaurant Fiume 37
Queretaro, Mexico

A fine
Colonial city,
Queretaro is, with an international restaurant presence.
Oooooh.
We like that.
We had
just joined friends for an early dinner the other night at European and French
style Bistro Chez Julien and it was lovely.
Today,
they were taking us to Fiume 37, a restaurant with an Italian and Mediterranean
flare.
With
great reviews and an extensive menu, we looked forward to it!
Italian Restaurant Fiume
37
Located along the river
that runs through town, we took a taxi from
our
hotel to the restaurant for 50 pesos (about $2.50USD).
Seating in Fiume 37
Open at 1:30pm, our friends were already
waiting for our arrival and had secured a table for the 5 of us.
Notice the beautiful stone walls
Medallions of beef with red wine and
mushroom sauce
Gazing at the menu, it was hard to decide
what to eat!
Billy and I enjoy sharing meals, that way we
both get to taste two different things.
So Billy requested the Medallions of Beef
with red wine and mushroom sauce. On the menu it states the beef is of Sonoran
Quality. Sonora is a state in Mexico known for its excellent Beef.
Billy shared a 400Peso bottle of red wine
(about $20USD) with one of the friends at the table.
The Fiume Salad
Meanwhile, I chose the
Fiume Salad which had goat cheeese, cranberries, sliced almonds, crispy
julienned beet tortillas, lettuce and a reduction of balsamic vinegar.
Reducing the balsamic
vinegar takes the bite out of it, while leaving the sweetness and flavor.
We told the kitchen
that we wanted to share our choices, and they beautifully split our orders onto
2 separate plates.
Rigatoni with beef and
vegetable ragu
One of our friends had the
Rigatoni with beef and vegetable ragu. He said it was outstanding.
Dipping the fresh bread
into the ragu, his plate was soon clean!
White fish with clams in lemon sauce
A lady friend of ours
had the Fish of the Day Special - a white fish Meuniere with clams and potatoes.
Her husband had the
Fiume Hamburguesa - a double rib eye hamburger with truffled French fries and
salad.
All of this was remarkable,
and our meals disappeared quickly!
Hot apple tart in puff
pastry.
But we weren't done!
Billy ordered a hot apple
tart in the best puff pastry ever, with vanilla ice cream for the table
to share.
The bill for 5 people
The bill for the five of
us, including wine and drinks came to $90USD before tip.
Our personal bill including
tip came to 920Pesos, about $46USD.
The service was great, and
the food was marvelous!
Would we return?
Absolutely!!
