Before Easter, Mummy came into town for a visit before we headed on to Seville and Granada. Excited for her arrival, I decided we'd try out a new restaurant hidden down behind the plaza.
We were the first to arrive and last the last to leave but the waiting staff were seemingly unbothered and very friendly, helping to explain the menu and had lots of recommendations! Seeing as we were fairly early, by Spain's standards anyway (!), the chef even came out to chime in on what he thought was good.
Firstly
we were presented with a tomato-garlic concentrate which was lovely.
Accompanied with some toasts; one topped with tapenade and the other
with Patatera (a chorizo spread) and honey. It was all delicious and
really whet our appetite for what was to come.
We
ordered a pork salad dish which comprised of very thinly sliced just
cooked pork topped with roasted garlic, olive oil and a salad
garnish.
Next
we had octopus with olive oil and paprika, bulked out slightly with
some potatoes and the occasional green leaf. We both enjoyed this but
decided we liked the pork dish better.
Next,
the mains. I went for Venison with a red wine sauce and the came with
some vegetables and mashed potato. This was really lovely and the
sauce really made the dish.
Mummy
went for the chef's recommendation, a loin of pork with a creamy wild
mushroom sauce. I sneaked a bit with my fork and it was really lovely
but nothing unusual. But the pork was cooked perfectly and it didn’t
stop us mopping up the leftover sauce with the bread.
After
a quick peruse of the dessert menu we decided to share the chocolate
brownie accompanied with both custard and cream – how could we not!
This was really yummy and I wished i'd ordered one just for myself.
I
would highly recommend this restaurant for great service and lovely
food.
