Review: We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant
one evening whilst wondering the streets of the gothic quarter.
While the menu is not as extensive as some places there is a good
choice.
We were just going to have main courses, but we were advised that
the Risotto we had ordered is made fresh and would take 20-30 minutes,
so we chose a couple of starters to share.
We had the Iberian ham platter, which was excellent, the meat was
lovely and soft and sweet. We also had the Mozzarella and rocket
salad - my personal favourite, the Mozzarella was delicious, dressed
in balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
There is an excellent choice of wines, they also have several Riojas,
we asked the owner for a recommendation she was very helpful and
we settled on a nicely matured Rioja.
It certainly didn't seem 20 minutes before the main courses arrived,
the Rissotto was fantastic it was very light not heavy and stodgy
like most I have had, my two companions both had steaks, which were
cooked to perfection.
The restaurant is on the corner of Carrer
Ample and Carrer Simo Oller, although the entrance is on Carrer
Ample.
