Tapería Yuste, Cáceres

This weekend Fiona came into town from Madrid so we though it'd be the perfect opportunity to try out a new restaurant and bar hop around the town. 

We decided to go to Taperia Yuste. We looked over the menu and made our decisions, with help from the waiter, we were pretty confident in our decisions. However, when the food arrived we were taken rather by surprised as it wasn't necessarily what we expected. Talk about lost in translation! While different, this isn't to say the food was bad. A particular highlight for me was the spinach stuffed crepe with a trout cream sauce. Sounds strange, but it was delicious! I just wish there was more of it. The prawn cream cheese tostada went down well. but we came to the conclusion that that was all it was. A prawn and cream cheese on toast. Next we tried the 'Pizza Artesana' and this was the one we were most underwhelmed with. More of a deconstructed pizza with a strange cheese spread and some sort of jam. Definitely not a favourite and something we probably wouldn't order again. 

Next came the main; steak served with a delicious courgette garnish. Unfortunately we were so excited at the prospect of meat that I didn't manage to grab a snap. 

Then it was time for dessert. I had been eyeing up the desert menu since we arrived so was thrilled when the girls suggested we order 3 and all share. 

We plumped for a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream;

Sacher torte;

 and a toffee mousse. 

They were all brilliant and we ended up practically licking the plates clean! 

After we'd finished eating we hit the town and headed to a local bar brimming with people, spotted a table and nabbed it. 

Ordered some drinks and happily started chatting away. I was clearly telling a story that I found highly amusing…

It got later and the bar started emptying so we decided to move on and go for cocktails at one of my favourite bars in Caceres; La Traviata. I like this place because it has a fun interior and loads of little nooks you can snuggle yourself in with your drinks and have a good catch up. There's a mix of sofas and comfy chairs so it's easy to settle down and while away the hours. 

After a couple of drinks a feeling rather merry, we decided to head on elsewhere. This is where the night gets a little blurry and the camera was put away.
