For Sunday's big lunch, I went to La Casa Ramon -it was an all time favorite place of my aunt and I have to say I can see why. They specialize in seafood and the fried shrimp were some of the best I have had in the past five years. The rapa or Monkfish was also really good, we had it grilled (planchada).
It was also pretty good value for the cost, especially with the dollar to Euro conversion, it is always better to have a good deal. The deserts were very good - they had an icecream cake that was made with the famous heladaria called Los Italions in the center of the city. We also shared a really concentrated flan, made with pure egg yolk and carmalized sugar - El tocino del cielo. It was like its name, "fat from heaven".
I didn't see any menus, the waiter just listed off the specials of the day and with some concentration I was able to make out what the day's offerings. My aunt knew the menu by heart, so I was pretty lucky. Also, for Sunday lunch, there were two hours for seating, so you might have to call ahead. Other times, I believe it would not be that busy, since Sunday lunch is a big deal in Spain. read more
