Mmmm . . . just back from lunch.
My friend/student Paco has recommended a couple of ‘new’ tapa bars to me recently. Well, they are not new at all but they are new to me. It’s that thing, you know? You can walk past a place a thousand times and never wander inside … and then someone tells you they make the most amazing fried aubergine with salmorejo.
We tried the first place last week, just for a quick couple of tapas on our way home. Then we went back this past Wednesday (our usual tapa evening out) and sampled quite a few tapas. I commented to Nog that it seemed odd that there wasn’t much meat or fish on the menu and then I saw a couple of women next to us at the bar eating something quite gorgeous looking and asked the waiter what it was. Ha! Turned out we totally missed the back page of the menu … but we’ll be back. Anyhow, here are photos of the two visits, including all of what we ate and some photos of what other people were eating.
And today we finally got to try out La Taberna. A place that Paco insists on calling El Costal, except that’s not what the sign outside it says and it isn’t what the barmen said it was called when I asked them. But never mind. We had a totally fabulous lunch and won’t have to eat again until tomorrow. Check it out…
