Beautiful dining room and accommodating service are what greets the visitor to La Florida. There aren't a lot of options for eating in Eltziego, unless you consider getting ripped off by Marques de Riscal winery for miniature food in huge plates for $150 PER PERSON, a real value meal. Just a 2 minute drive into the town from the winery rewards the inquisitive with a menu of the day at the equivalent of $14 USD for a delicious 3 course lunch. We thought this to be the deal of the ages.
Check out their website for the options. We chose the RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND JAMON & the PASTA CARBONARA as starters. We found them to be delicious and well prepared. We both had the PORK TENDERLOIN GRILLED WITH ROQUEFORT SAUCE for our main course and loved it. Solomillo (pork tenderloin) is on many menus in Spain and this one would rank with the best we had over our 3 week adventure. For dessert, we had the cheesecake and custard options and we loved them. The meal was served with a glass of wine and we recommend VALDELANA as it is superb and not the swill from Marques de Riscal. . read more
