I was thrilled when I got the invite from GigaSavvy to attend a Pre-Holiday event at Catal Restaurant in Downtown Disney. I've passed Catal many times over the years but haven't had the pleasure of checking it out till last week. Just as I suspected, I have been missing out all this time!
I invited one of my best friends, Noemy, to come with me because a girls' night out was in order and she wants to start blogging so I figured if she can hang with a bunch of bloggers / social media people... she's automatically in. We were greeted at the door with blueberry mojitos and sangria. There were cheeses, crackers, dried fruit and servers walking around with tapas. And there was Albert, the very accommodating gentleman that was there every time we needed something. From checking in my coat, schooling us on Sofia Coppola wine, getting us more drinks, to finding a table for us. It wasn't until later that we found out Albert is Catal's General Manager. The staff, food and ambiance at Catal is superior. It's no wonder that Catal is voted one of the top three dining options in Anaheim Downtown Disney District. The fine dining oasis offers a relaxed, elegant setting with floor-to-ceiling windows and patio terraces offering spectacular views of Downtown Disney from it’s second-story location. If you make it out now till the end of the year, you will be able to experience Disneyland’s “Believe...In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular show.
THANK YOU GigaSavvy, Catal Restaurant and Patina Group!
It was great seeing old friends and making new ones! Noemy & I had a great time! I'll definitely be back with my family!
Hello there, blueberry mojito.
The first piping hot, super ginormous pan of Paella! Look at everyone rush in to take pictures! Oh those bloggers!
The Paella was SO DELICIOUS and so was the Air Bread with Manchego cheese and shaved serrano ham! Flavors danced in my mouth!
After 5 minutes of staring and another 5 minutes of being convinced by Noemy... I finally ate this beautiful Tuna Tartare Taco. It was so good. I wanted more!
I had the pleasure of spending a few days with these lovely ladies in New Orleans for The Niche Mommy Conference and love seeing them! Sandra of mamanoticias.com and Eva of techfoodlife.com
Noemy and I decided to ditch the mojitos and got into the Sangria. YUM!
There's my BFF Noemy!
Tee of thatsitmommy.com brought me a Wonka truffle from Sweet! at Hollywood & Highland. Love ya Tee!
