Kjolle

It’s April 2019. We’re in Lima, continuing the journey of going to the world’s 50 best restaurants. There are 3 restaurants on the list here in Lima: Astrid & Gaston, Maido, and Central.

It looked like there was availability for all three restaurants and so we booked flights and hotel and then went to reserve the restaurants.

A&G was fine. Maido was great. Central, however, turned out to be full. Turns out, the reservation site for Central shows availability for all of their restaurants and not just Central.

Well, that’s unfortunate. With everything else booked, I added my name to the waiting list. Worst case, we’ll arrive at the restaurant in hopes of any last minute cancellations.

Nothing opened up.

With an evening free, we make the 45 minute walk over enjoying the quiet evening through one neighbourhood to the next until we arrive in Barranco, just as Central is set to open, pleading for a table. No luck. But they had availability at Kjolle. We could have a drink at the bar, Mayo, while we wait for our table.

Fine.

Mayo

As we sat at the bar waiting, they prepared us a drink. The cocktail looked elaborate with a dash of spice on the top placed with precision. It was presented with a platter of inspiration, where we could see the spices used in the drink. The presentation was amazing.

The drinks take some time to prepare—I think we waited for about 15 minutes. I wondered what that place would be like on a busy evening with 100 people all waiting for their drinks.

Dinner

We hadn’t quite finished our drinks when we were escorted to our table on the second floor of the compound. And compound is probably the best way to describe the three restaurants and training facilities surrounded by a high wall. Kjolle, itself, is divided into two sections separated by a glass wall. We’re sat at a table at the back, in a room with a half-dozen tables.

The Menu

Stunningly, as the place filled, it didn’t get louder. In fact, by the end of dinner, we noticed we couldn’t overhear a single conversation from any other table. The noise management was superb (and most welcome)!

I don’t think I’ve ever been emotionally moved by a plate of potatoes before. The tubers tart was divine. The potato flavour wasn’t too strong. It wasn’t too sweet. It was a perfect combination of taste and texture.

Tubers Tart

The bread was delicious. The crust was flavourful and tasty with the whipped butter and salsa served with it.

The last two wine pairings were fantastic.

There wasn’t a disappointing dish the whole way through, along with some exceptional ones.

I walked away with a mix of emotions. Happy to have enjoyed such a wonderful meal, sad that we weren’t able to go to Central, curious about how good Central would be, and excited to plan a return to Lima.

If you find yourself in Peru, come to Lima, and enjoy some of the world’s most amazing food at Kjolle.

A .Button is a Button is a Link

You’re working on a project and in it you see a button. It looks like a button, it acts like a button. It is a button. It is a <button>. It is a .button.

But is every <button> a .button? Is every .button a <button>?

Let’s take a look at some very specific examples:

We essentially have three different types of buttons:

  1. Image-only buttons (the next/previous paddles)
  2. Text-only buttons (the cancel link)
  3. Like, actual buttons

On most projects, I see developers choose to identify all of these as the same component: the .button.

As a result of trying to shoehorn everything under the umbrella of a single component, we run into a lot of style overrides. The default style is the actual button. And then text buttons need to strip away all those styles. And image buttons have other constraints like handling hover and active states of the images.

  1. .button--image
  2. .button--link
  3. .button

Different Patterns, Different Components

Just because the HTML under the hood is the same, doesn’t mean we need to use the same class for everything. Since we have three different types of buttons, we should identify them as such.

  1. .image-button
  2. .link-button
  3. .button

Or whatever name you want to come up with. (Naming things is hard.)

With each clearly defined, there is no need to override styles to add or takeaway styles applied by other button styles. This simplicity results in less complexity and possibly even less code by not having to override existing styles.
