I'm taking my girlfriend for a weekend away to see the alhambra and would love any ideas for a nice restaurant for a good unpretentious meal on a saturday night. Nothing formal, just good food and a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for any suggestions........ | ||
Alhabaca - a little mesón (inn) in a century-old building. Owner Javier Jiménez seats 30 diners at 10 tables in an old-fashioned restaurant decorated in a rustic style with bare white walls. The traditional dishes he serves are unpretentious and tasty, especially the salmorejo (creamy tomato gazpacho) and ensalada de dos salsas (a green salad with two dressings). The stuffed salmon is marvelous, as is pastel de berenjena con salmón marinado (layered pastry with eggplant and marinated salmon). | 1 | |
There is a selection of outdoor restaurants on the Plaza Bib-Rambla, south of the Cathedral. My favourite there is Bodega Taurina. On Plaza Nueva there is Restaurant El Aguador | 2 | |
Must be Albahaca, I imagine :-) | 3 | |
