One of my favorite meals in Spain. It is situated in the middle of small street close to Puente Nuevo, which could easily be a tourist trap. Maybe I should get out of that mentality, because everywhere we ate in Spain that was close to popular attractions was decent.
Anyways, I digress. The service was excellent. It was definitely fine dining. They used an aerator for our wine, and kept refilling when our glasses were close to finishing, which was attentive service.
The cod and avocado salad was amazing. They used avocado skin rather than avocado meat, which gave the salad an extra crunch rather than creaminess, which I thoroughly enjoyed and was unexpected. There were orange slices, quail egg bits, and black olives (which were NOT at all bitter, despite other occasions we've had black olives). It was a wonderful balance.
The paella was delicious. We got the seafood paella; although it wasn't as crunchy as we had hoped, the seafood flavor was super saturated. Plus, there was sooo much good and fresh seafood!
Salmorejo was soooo good. We did a cooking class the previous day where we made salmorejo and we couldn't get enough! It is similar to gazpacho, but tomato-based. No salmon in it as you might guess :P But very creamy and topped with chopped hard boiled egg and quality jamon. There was a leg of jamon sitting on a table next to me looking DIVINE, so I was excited to have it in our soup.
Tiramisu was delicious too. Not typical to what I've had before, but the ladyfingers at the bottom were not crushed, but rather whole. I loved it!
Also, quite possibly the BEST wine we had all trip. So sad we couldn't bring it back with us, but ask for their recommendation, and you won't regret it... It was a local Ronda wine.
If you're around the area, definitely check it out! Great date spot, romantic and quaint. read more
