It's hard to believe that I've lived next door to this place for more than three years now, and I…read morehaven'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.
