It's hard to believe that I've lived next door to this place for more than three years now, and I haven't eaten there until now. If not for the covid virus, how much longer would I keep passing it by?
We decided to take a day off from our kitchen, opting for takeout. Their 'menu al dia' (€15.50) was both delicious and utterly satisfying.
Their Russian Salad was terrific. A virtual staple in Catalan restaurants, their version was topped with bonito, avocado and hard boiled egg... and a herb that I could not identify, but was an excellent complement to the flavors.
My wife's Escalivada was a treat. A sumptuous slab of gently grilled goat cheese topped it all... words fail me. It was THAT good.
For our second plate, we each had a burger. Not an American burger, mind you... This was a 200 gram Angus beef patty, perfectly grilled (Al punt), with the thinnest slice of cheese melted on top, and surrounded by grilled padron peppers. What a blend of flavors!
My dessert was (allegedly) carrot cake. I *love* carrot cake with cream cheese icing, but this was not it. What I got looked to be closer to red velvet cake (with a subdued color), but it was both delicious and satisfying... so I chose not to drop a star from my review. My wife's cheesecake, topped with a blueberry compote, was delicious and what you would expect.
The house red wine complemented the meal nicely. All in all, a very satisfying meal.
I'm going back next week, just because. read more
