My husband and I recently took a honeymoon to Spain. Between our time in Madrid and San Sebastian,…read morewe spent a day in Rueda. We're big fans of verdejo wine and wanted to see where it was made. We took a tour of another bodega and then came to PradoRey for lunch specifically because we'd heard good things about this restaurant. It was wonderful.
I was first struck by the decor, probably one of the coolest looking restaurants I'd been in. Modern yet whimsical. Lots of white, lots of pastels, but all very modern. We took a seat, ordered same PradoRey wine (gotta try the product, right?) and made our way through the menu. There was no English language menu and our server didn't speak English, but between my bad Spanish and Google Translate we were able to figure out what the dishes were. We each received potato croquettes to start the meal that were very tasty. I ordered the hake, which was served with salsa verde and topped with clams and shrimp. All the seafood was wonderfully fresh and the sauce was very nice. My husband went with the oxtail stew which was rich, meaty, and delicious.
Service was very good and the prices were great for what we got (five euros for a bottle of wine? Yes please). If you're in town, I'd highly recommend this place. They're open for lunch all week and dinner on the weekends.
