Birthday lunch at the Horned Dorset Primavera, Rincon, PR

Today we celebrated two birthdays at the Restaurant Aaron at the Horned Dorset Primavera here in Rincon, PR. The Horned Dorset is just down our road, Carr 429, less than a minute from the Lemontree. The picture above shows you my view from my seat at our outside table. We like either sitting outside as we did today or on the terrace. The Horned Dorset has a French menu and very gracious, old world service.



Our Lunch... The bouillabaisse, pictured above, was simply delicious. A rather simple dish, the tastes melded and blended to make for a very happy palate! Along with the crusty bread and creamy butter, we had a delightful lunch. If you are wondering about bouillabaisse, click on this and see the history of the bouillabaisse dish.

The chef prepared a special birthday cake which I can report was absolutely delicious and I was happy to have some to bring home too. Unfortunately, we cut it before I had taken a picture so I don't have one to share. Sooooo, imagine a three layer, six inch cake with very thick and creamy vanilla buttercream icing swirled on in an intricate pattern. Add to that chocolate swirling writing of, "Happy Birthday," and slices of fresh strawberries accenting the top and placed all around the base. Between the three layers, the chef had another creamy subtly flavored coconut buttercream icing with slices of fresh strawberries. Perhaps from my description you are able to understand why I forgot to take the photograph and simply asked our waiter to proceed to the serving!

We highly recommend the Restaurant Aaron at the Horned Dorset Primavera for either lunch or dinner. Restaurant Aaron has a facebook page which you can follow to see what special events they are hosting. To serve you better, reservations are always required.
