Tanta is as along the lines of many of the stylish but casual food eateries one would find in cities such as New York or Boston. It serves freshly made soups, salads, Peruvian sandwiches called sanguches, creative pastas and a few classic Limao dishes to a hip-looking crowd of patrons. For me, lunch here was an incredibly rich and gooey bowl (really a mini-vat) of french onion soup, followed by an empanada de carne that literally dissolved in my mouth.
I have to say, however, that the most incredible thing about Tanta is the desserts. Astrid Gutsche (co-owner of Astrid y Gaston), an extrodinary pastry chef in her own right, has created an array of mouthwatering desserts such as supiro de limena, lucuma brownies, and granitas made soley from fruit and sugar.
The atmosphere seems great there. All cafés should be warm, sleek, and have elegant foods. The colors are so playful which seem to give this one particular spot a nice individual flare. I am going to start researching and making a list of good cafés in New York City. Do you have any recommendations off the top of your head? :-)
