Cantonese Restaurant.

Typical Cantonese restaurant: three floor of intense busy table and people choosing the diverse dishes.  A real experience.  Do not to be conservative in choosing your dishes.

If you like Chinese food (Cantonese) this is the place to go.

    30 minutes drive from the Forli on the Apennine road from Forli to Florence
This is one of the real discoveries of a great and authentic Italian restaurant, well off the beaten track.  You need to have a car to drive their.

Do not bother with asking for a menu and discuss with the chef what is fresh that day.

Allow plenty of time for a meal.  They have simple comfortable room.

Take time to walk through the village and down to the river.  It is a fascinating little town.

We have been their many times over 15 years and it is consistent exceptional.

Montague is a town to stop off in as you are heading east or west.  The Mismosa Lodge was a memorable stop off point.  The main lodge is a bit of a rikaty old (Cowboy Western Style) hotel with creaky wooden stairs and floor boards.  A place of real character.  The also have more modern rooms towards to be back of the lodge.

What made it a special stop off point was the welcome and friendly host, owner and chef Bernhard.  We had a relaxing pre-dinner drink with the other guests in the club, followed by dinner.   

The route coming from Worchester towards Montague A60 and then A62 is a very picturesque route pass from the plains coming from Worchester and plunge down through very rugged gorges and canyon towards Montague, passing though a beautiful arch  cut in the side of the gorge where the road passes through.

This is something special.  Unique, and I am not one to use the words lightly.  Location and food are west coast 6 Star, only because the bet 5 star does not match it.  The best restaurant in Scotland.
