Aquavit

It might be expensive (very), but going out to a nice restaurant can be such a boost of energy and good mood that it can actually pay off. Yesterday I was invited to go to "Aquavit", a new 5 stars restaurant that is located outside Brasília and from where one can see the Paranoá lake and the entire skyline of the city. It is simply breathtaking.

The chef is actually from Copenhagen and he came to our table (we were the only customers that night) and we talked a bit about Lund and the Oresund region, but I did not tell him that Copenhagen is not really my cup of tea. The food was really good and the fact that every plate came with a different exquisite wine made us feel quite relaxed and happy by the end of the meal. Besides, the music they played there was 5 stars as well, from Billy Holiday to Maysa.

All and all, it was an amazing night, just as I needed. Seriously, I truly needed and deserved it.
