Simo’s Cafistro
This weekend my girlfriend and I went to Des Moines and stopped by Simo’s Cafistro in West Des Moines for dinner. Simo’s is a small and quaint little restaruant that specializes in Cajun style cuisine. The chef Randy is a big fan of our beer. He told me that he uses our Schild Brau in several of his dishes, including Jambalaya and his Stuffed Pork Loin. I had the jamabalaya, and let me tell you, it was simply delicious! I have been to New Orleans, and has some fine creole food down there, and this was on par, if not better than anything I had down there. My girlfriend had the Stuffed Porkloin, which was equally impressive. Both dishes were full of deep spicy flavors, that literally meld in your mouth. They went very well with my bottle of Schild Brau, which I noticed was of a recent bottling. A sign of how much of our beer they are going through!
My dish was ‘medium’ hot. Randy told me you can request a dish be any level of spicyness. I thing it was just about perfect, but some of you might want to tell them to turn it up a few notches.
So if you looking for something a little different in Iowa, don’t miss this restuarant:
