Back Again . . .

CASA BAVARIA

It has been a while since I have posted, but life has been hectic and crazy.  My hubby has had a severe case of shingles on his face and around his eye.  My life was consumed with being a caretaker, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the dog.  Fortunately, he is much, much better and is returning to work tomorrow!!!!  He does still look a bit like Cuasimodo, but he is My Cuasimodo and I love him. 

View from the Restaurant

The weekend before Valentine's Day, my love wanted to take me out for a surprise.  So, we got into the car on a beautiful Saturday morning and headed into the mountains of Puerto Rico.  After about an hour drive we were in a small town called Morovis.  The bamboo covered road winds through the mountains, the views are spectacular.  All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a restuarant pops up, and we pull over. . . we have arrived at our destination.  CASA BAVARIA!!!  Thats right, a little taste of Europe right in the mountains of Puerto Rico. 

German/Puerto Rican Waitresses

The entire restaurant is setup into many levels of open patios, with a big tree growing in the middle of the all the levels.  All of the waitresses are dressed in dirndl dresses.  As far as food goes, there was a nice selection of German food and beer.  Carlos and I ended up eating Schnitzl and Roulade.  We bought big beer steins for 10.00 each and then filled them with import German beer for 2.00.  The portions were large and the food was excellent.  For those people not into German fare, the typical selections of Puerto Rican food is available.  Although Germany has many wonderful tarts and pasteries, Casa Bavaria was definitely lacking in the area of desseert, with the only option being Flan or Tres Leches (definitely neither are German.)  My suggestion, skip the dessert and spend the money on the beer mugs and beer!! 

Schnitzl and Roulade

After a long lunch, we drove on into the mountains of Orcovis, which just a wonderful, quaint artisian town.  It was a beautiful day, and I highly recommend visiting Casa Bavaria in Puerto Rico!!!
