23 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 16, 2009 A New Taste of the Western Mediterranean Comes to Oakville As far back as history has been recorded, Northwest Africa and the Barbary Coast have been at the geographical and cultural crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The indigenous Berbers plus Arabian, Spanish, English and French influences have created a tantalizing mix of craft and cuisine. The result is an intoxicating blend of cultures... WELCOME TO ALHAMBRA MEDITERRANEAN FIESTA. With a strong sense of ritual hospitality and traditional Mediterranean dishes, Alhambra promises a relaxing dining experience of superb food and delightful ambiance among good friends. Owner/chef Anis Hamlaoui is passionate about both food preparation and presentation, believing that food combines the magic of science and art. He insists on using fresh ingredients prepared daily, never using packaged or pre-made goods. His focus remains on capturing the whole Mediterranean culinary experience: using freshly prepared food, combined with cooking techniques that date back to the 16th century, serving authentic dishes...with a new twist: Alhambra has a menu of foods that are not typical of other local restaurants. Anis has created a fusion of tastes that come from refining old recipes and loyally respecting the soul of that recipe. Those seeking something extraordinary and refreshing in Mediterranean cuisine should visit Alhambra Mediterranean Fiesta. You will notice a difference, as the passion that Anis has for preparing a meal is obvious, and that translates very powerfully onto the plate. His passion for food started very early in life and his early influences helped him get to where he is now. The naming of his restaurant is very personal for him. Alhambra is a castle in Andalusia that, during the 14th century, was a cultural and learning centre where people of the neighbouring countries came to learn and create. The introduction of the three course meal originates from Alhambra, by a man named Ziryeb. Blending Alhambra with Fiesta means a celebration of the Western Mediterranean culinary world, and Anis hopes that he will continue to attract customers who are looking for something exotic, delicious, and authentic.
