Looking for a book shop in San Francisco we saw the exterior of The Stinking Rose restaurant:
The Stinking Rose, at 325 Columbus Street (San Francisco).
It first caught Luca’s attention, and we went to check the menu and whether there was any description in the guide (which there was). The restaurant is a garlic restaurant started by an Italian some decades ago, meaning that all their dishes included garlic! I loved that and immediately tried to persuade Luca to get in.
I think that instead of giving a thorough description of the restaurant by me I can show you the description of the restaurant made by them:
Description of the restaurant.
Have you seen that sentence: “We Season Our Garlic with Food”? Take then a look at the first dish we ordered: garlic bread, with minced garlic with herbs plus garlic…
A good starter.
Finally, take a look at how the interior is decorated with garlic bulbs all over the place (it reminds me to “Museo del Jamón” in Spain):
Garlic bulbs all over the place!
I guess that many of the readers will think “yuck!”, as Luca did at the beginning. Well, this is because you have never tried it… do so the next time you are either in San Francisco or Los Angeles.
