Several posts ago, I mentioned the usual fare I enjoyed while traveling through Spain. You might also remember my post about the town of Biar, where I had a good hike. Well, I also met a couple of cats and ate a tasty lunch. Dead center in the middle of that town is a hostal type of place with a bar/restaurant downstairs. From your table you look out at the town plaza which is complete with church and fountain. We entered here looking for a bite to eat and the bartender made some good recommendations. Take a look.
On the left above you have a puff pasty with carmelized onions and mushrooms. Light and delicious that was. On the right, you have pork medallions in a heavy sauce with red peppercorns. Filling and powerful. The bartender was spot on with his suggestions and I thank him publicly for them. And here’s a view of the place.
Just what you’d expect to find in small town Spain. Too bad I can’t remember the name. No worries. It’s easy enough to find.
And that bar I mentioned:
We enjoyed an early lunch here, with a view of the nearby marina where fisherman take tourists out for a day on the Caribbean Sea. As for the meal, it was quite good. I started with the tomato soup and here’s a look at the presentation.
Then my wife enjoyed smoked salmon and herbed cream cheese wrap that she found delicious. See below.
I went with the CILO club, which contains parma ham, brie cheese, and the usual lettuce tomato and such. Check it out.
Fries were crispy, too.
