Garlic contains several properties for health and many are the followers of this powerful seasoning. Recognized to keep away vampires, but also to leave a strong breath, garlic does not put off the cooks who love to enhance their dishes. Garlic lovers, we suggest 5 restaurants to try around the globe.
1- Garlic Queen- Amsterdam
Garlic really found its kingdom at the Garlic Queen restaurant in the Netherlands. Indeed, we find this seasoning in all dishes, from starter to dessert! The chef leaves however the freedom to the customers to put a little or a lot of garlic according to their appreciation of this herb. There are of course classics like garlic bread and Caesar salad, but the menu also offers a burger served with aioli and pasta with a garlic sauce. Desserts include garlic cheeses and a brownie accompanied by a garlic ice cream. What's more original is the homemade alcoholic beverage made from garlic.
2- Garlic Rose- Cranford, New Jersey
This little bistro in New Jersey has a real garlic cult. It is found in all the dishes that are concocted there. On the menu are crab cakes with garlic, snails with garlic and even a chowder with garlic. All main dishes are served with freshly baked garlic bread. There are plenty of pasta, but also several dishes of fish, chicken and meat, prepared with this aromatic herb. For true lovers, you can also simply order the garlic cloves sautéed in olive oil as an accompaniment.
3- Garlic Olssons & shots- Stockolme, London and Palma
This restaurant has three branches in Europe (Sweden, England and Spain) with a clear and precise goal: leaving the restaurant, you must feel as if you had literally marinated in garlic! The chefs are categorical: impossible to ask for a dish without garlic. However, it is always possible to ask for more. The concept: garlic dishes and a shooter bar. You can choose from a selection of 101 shooters, some prepared with vodka ... with garlic!
4- Garlic's of London- London, Ontario
Simply cross the Ontario border and try the Garlic's of London, which offers regional cuisine with garlic proudly displayed. One does not push the audacity until integrating it in all the dishes, but it has a good presence on the plate. Bacon with roasted garlic, garlic fries and roasted garlic bulb are just a few examples. On the drink side, a Garlic Ceaser wins the palm of originality. At dessert, the garlic ice cream is also there.
5- The Stinking Roses- Beverley Hills and San Francisco
"The Stinking Roses" is a nickname given to garlic in English. The restaurant is described as passionate about garlic and has two branches in the United States. The menu is of course garlic flavored and is found especially in mashed potatoes and cute filets. Roasted pods with anchovies are also served. At dessert, garlic ice cream also has its place.
