liquipure Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Saw a new place on Constitucion (#59). Menu looks nice but a bit pricey for Ajijic. Anyone tried it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suegarn Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 This is the latest review taken from the Gringos Ajijic and Lakeside Foodies Facebook page.....it sounds wonderful! "Four for dinner at Elegante tonight at 5:00 p.m. We were all very happy with our choices. J and B shared the baked Brie and loved it, R had the seared tuna appetizer ( large enough to be ordered as a main if you wish) my Caesar salad was perfect and large enough to share, two of us had rack of lamb, one had fish and one had pasta with grilled chicken. One tiramisu and four spoons. Perfect service by Julio. Good service is very important. If they only knew this review comes from a woman who dislikes almost every restaurant in Ajijic, they would really be flattered!We have a house here and in Baja and the restaurants here often don't measure up. With the addition of this one and the one almost across the street, things are really looking up!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbleitch Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Go to the Lakeside Restaurant/ Bistro Happenings" sub-forum, scroll down and you will find a post started by the restauranteur titled "Elegante." Further in that thread you will find the menu posted. EDITED: a screenshot of that post follows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I definitely want to have dinner there very soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegante Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Sorry for my mistake Suegarn. But thank you for posting the review. It still feels good. You will be most welcome when you can come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 You menu shows Rack of Lamb, one of my spouse's favorites. So far, we have been disappointed in the dish offered elsewhere, so here's the question: What is the source of your rack of lamb? New Zealand lamb or ? We have a special occasion coming up......

canmex87 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Who are the principals behind this restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegante Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Gringal, if Costco has it and the price stays reasonable, it will be Costco which I believe has lamb from Australia. The racks we have sold this week have been from both Costco and a local supplier. We will be getting more from Costco tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moderator5 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Elegente: Maybe I misunderstood. But Costco is not from Australia. Costco started in Seattle WA There are two Costco stores in the greater Guadalajara area. For their street locations, use Mr. Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegante Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 The lamb is from Australia, not Costco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Or the lamb at Costco is from New Zealand....at least it was the last time I bought lamb from Costco in Mexico, or even way back when in the U.S., at store #1. Either way, the menu looks great. Look forward to trying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegante Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Travis, that's what I remembered also but fearing my failing memory I actually went and checked our home freezer. The one I pulled says "Product of Australia". In any case, its very good lamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Can't wait to try it Elegante! I'm not that particular about lamb provenance as long as it's good! Constitución #59, Ajijic, means not much to me, and I used to live a few blocks away. Are you between Galeana and Javier Mina on the mountain side? Where Jardín de Ninette used to be? Just trying to help others locate your restaurant. See you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
