This was a tasty meal in Orgiva. Orgiva is a very health-conscious town and the menu made good…read morenote of allergens and sources where applicable. Of course all their offerings were as organic, whole food, locally-sourced, unprocessed, homemade, etc. as possible. Every option was truly a thoughtful and loving option for tasty sustenance.
I had chicken schwarma, my son had a chicken skewer, and my husband had the Menu Degustación. All were perfectly prepared and packed with flavors. Salad veggies were super fresh as were the grilled veggies in with our meats. Meats were all beautifully cooked, seasoned, seared or charred. My husband's Gazpacho de Tomate was a nice texture full tomato flavor with layered spices and quality olive oil. He then had couscous and chicken were done perfectly to complement one another in a delicious garlic sauce. Everything was simplistic yet demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of culinary skill, flavor balancing, and high standards for ingredients.
Desserts were all homemade. We had to take them to go in order to make it to our hotel before too late that night, so apologies for the takeout container in my photo. My husband had Tarta de Dátiles y Canela which he loved; local dates rendered in a perfect European balance of sweetness and savoriness. My son had the tarta de queso (done differently in Spain--but like all their food--better!) and it too was delicious. Spanish "Tarta de queso" is like cheesecake but goopier, kind of like a crème brûlée mixed with clotted cream (English), mixed with cheesecake.
