CinCin Ristorante + Bar

On my recent visit to Vancouver, B.C. this November, we had dinner at CinCin, a highly recommended Italian restaurant in the popular Robson Street.  In my experience, Italian restaurants know how to make the best Spanish coffees.  I learned how to make when when working as a bar manager for an Italian restaurant in Bellevue, WA, and I learned it from another popular Italian restaurateur in the area.

And CinCin did not disappoint!  In fact, they served our Spanish Coffees in thermal glasses, which was a great spin on the typical coffee glassware I usually see.  Not only did it keep our coffees nice and warm, but allowed them to caramelize the rims without creating a glass that's too hot to hold, which is a common downfall of the flaming rum.

The whip cream was right, the sugared rim was right, and this was definitely one of the finest Spanish Coffees I've ever had.  Great job, CinCin!
