It is date night and you want a special dinner but you can't decide on the cuisine. Is it French, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Indian, or would you prefer a full vegetarian meal? Perhaps you have a desire for food with a Spanish, Swiss, or UK twist? Are you craving a full dinner or a breakfast, brunch or lunch?
The new Taste Of the World Restaurant offers all of this and more. And best of all, it's all free.
Amythe Moonlight has created a romantic destination for those looking to relax and enjoy each other's company in a quiet and peaceful setting. The restaurant is set in the woodlands by the sea. This gives diners fantastic views as well as a delightful soundtrack.
"I opened the restaurant late last year on Southern Comfort sim. When the sim closed I moved to my present location and rebuilt the restaurant. I had more space to build it here and so was able to change the basic design and add some things to further the concept," said Amy.
The Taste Of the World has three distinct areas, each with its own mood and menu. It should be noted that all of the menus are original designs.
"I like good looking food and have used some very realistic items in the placemats. That said, not everyone may recognize all the dishes or may wonder what's in them. The menus serve as information and to describe the ingredients in an enticing way," she added.
The main restaurant occupies two large rooms with seating spread out so that diners can enjoy some intimate privacy. Each table is set for two and has menus custom designed by Amy from which diners can choose from five different regional cuisines as well as dessert.
"If I go out to dine as a couple I enjoy my privacy. I think if you are on a date you want to feel you are having a private moment with your partner even if there are others around. The partitions serve to give a feel of privacy without blocking views completely," explained Amy.
Entrees can come from Asia, Europe, India, Mexico, or North America. As mentioned earlier, there is also a Vegetarian menu from which to choose.
"I spent hours putting together items that were available and fitted the theme. I wanted to find regional dishes that were recognizable and looked good," said Amy.
Regional options are further broken down by various countries. For the Asian menu diners can choose from Japan, Korea, China, or Thailand.
Japanese dishes include Miso soup, sushi, udon noodles, unagi eel, and basashi among other options. The Korean menu is not as extensive, offering kimchee and a Korean fried chicken dish. The Chinese options include dumplings, a braised fish as well as chow Mein. The Thai menu allows diners to choose from green curry, chicken satay, crispy pork, or fried rice.
That's just one of the five regional menus. Europe offers five national options including Italian, French, Spanish, Swiss, and dishes from the UK.
The Italian menu offers various types of pizza, lasagna, ravioli, as well as various pastas such as linguine, Alfredo, penne, and spaghetti. Other European options include Beef Bourguignon, chicken forester and lamb shanks from France, paella and tapas from Spain, steak pie and chips, bangers and mash, and roast beef from the U.K., and cheese fondue from Switzerland.
Hungry for nachos or chili? There are two types of nachos and three types of chili that can be found in the Mexican menu. The Indian menu offers such dishes as roti, chicken tikka, chicken curry, and tandoori chicken among others.
The North American menu offers six different types of burgers and three different hot dogs. There is also regular and maple bacon poutine for those wanting a taste of Canada.
For those wanting a vegetarian or lighter meal there are seven different salad options and 10 soups, though not all of the soups are vegetarian. Diners can also choose from six different sandwiches as well as avocado toast, a Caesar wrap, falafel, vegetable quiche, or two types of omelets.
The dessert menu offers a wide variety of options ranging from five different sundaes, six different types of cake, six different pastries, four different kinds of pie, two flavors of cheesecake, as well as a waffle, a crepe, and even a cheese board.
The same food offerings can be found on The Seabreeze Terrace, a picturesque patio overlooking the water. Utilize the shared environment for a beautiful, romantic atmosphere while the waves crash against the rocks and sea birds sing. The Terrace includes plenty of room to dance either before or after dinner while waiting on the dessert to arrive.
"I love dancing and dining,” said Amy. “With the Seabreeze Terrace I wanted to have a few romantic tables overlooking the sea but also have plenty of room to dance afterwards.”
In the mood for something less formal, perhaps breakfast or brunch, The Copper Room is the perfect choice. While the menu isn't as extensive there are still plenty of options to satisfy any taste.
"I created a venue that was quite formal and so wanted to add a less formal area for those wanting a drink of coffee and something light to eat," said Amy.
Amy pointed out that offering breakfast and brunch was something different for SL. "Sometimes I just want a burger or a cup of coffee. It's designed as a place people can drop into and have a chat. If it becomes popular I may add sofas and armchairs for people to gather and talk," she added.
The breakfast menu allows diners to choose between sweet or savory dishes. Sweet items include strawberry toast, waffles and cream, a fresh fruit bowl, toast and jam, muesli, or croissants. The savory options include a salmon bagel, bacon and eggs, sausage and eggs, or a breakfast burrito.
The brunch menu contains six different sandwich choices such as beef, cheese, egg, and ham and cheese among others. There are also three types of hot dogs and three types of burgers. In addition, grilled cheese, an empanada, and chicken tenders are on the menu.
There is also a rather extensive dessert menu with twelve different items from which to choose. One could pick a strawberry choux, an iced eclair, a double chocolate cupcake, a brownie, a praline creme, or a fruit tart among many others.
The restaurant isn't the only place on the sim for guests to enjoy. The surrounding woodlands offer up plenty of opportunities for a romantic stroll. The woods have several PG cuddle areas. In the center of it all is the Tropical Experience Dome.
The Dome, or what Amy often calls the Tropical Greenhouse, sits among the trees and is filled with beautiful flowers and plants. It is almost like an indoor arboretum.
"I first built a Tropical Greenhouse on the old sim. I didn't advertise it and it had so many visitors I was shocked! When I moved here I thought it would be nice to recreate a newer version of it. It's built as a place to sit quietly listening to the frogs and sound of the water falling and watch the pond life while experiencing the beautiful foliage of tropical countries as butterflies dance all around," said Amy. There are also tables here where people can enjoy a full lunch menu.
"I hope people will enjoy date nights here and have fun exploring everything there is to offer. It's a peaceful place with a lot of potential for friendly gatherings and parties or just to have a tranquil place to bring a loved one," said Amy.
