The food at both places were so yum.
Today I decided that I should -
- Get married to a chef OR
- Make enough money to be able to employ a private chef
If neither works out, I will just have to learn to cook.

Ortolana review:
5 stars for all the hazelnuts in my dish! Also for all the pretty colours - because colour is yummy.
Niceness - ★★★★★
They gave us a whole bottle of some nice artisan-brand Extra Virgin Olive Oil to use however we wanted! It's like they trusted that I would be sensible with it. What if I decided to grab the expensive bottle of olive oil and made a run for it? What if I spilled it all? What if I used this opportunity to massage myself with expensive olive oil? No. They trusted me and they respected me as a civilised, normal human being. And by default, they gave us sparkling water, not plain water! It made me feel so special.
Shiny things and design - ★★★★★
Not sure if this should be a category, but there were plenty of shiny things at Ortolana, as in the photos above. Nice furnishing too.
Comfiness - ★★★★★
Super comfy seats and nice sized tables. Very relaxing.
Vegetarian-friendliness - ★★★★★
All sweet things are yummy. Especially when they come in small servings.
Niceness - ★★★★★
The waitress had a French accent. I thought this was very nice.
Shiny things and design - ★★★★★
I was excited to sit on a chair that looked like a Yanagi butterfly stool - but it turned out the legs were a bit different. The interior design was very unique and designy.
Comfiness - ★★★★★
Surprisingly cosy and comfy atmosphere.
Vegetarian-friendliness - ★★★★★
All desserts are vegetarian friendly!
