Absolutely brilliant Tapas place. But let me preface this review with some information: we came in…read morehere yesterday (November 1) which is technically the end of the season. This shouldn't really matter BUT, the chef who is here at the end of the season was not here during the summer season, so I can't speak to how delicious everything was this summer, and whether it will stay at this yummyness level next summer. You have been warned!
As of now and for the rest of the winter it seems, the Food will be as close to perfect as tapas can be. My wife and I came in here with a couple of friends and just ordered almost everything they had on the menu. Everyone ordered their own Pan Bao, and we basically split everything else. We got Eggs Paesa, lamb sandwiches, scallops, chicken wings, beef cheeks, and the lamb which I believe was pan roasted? It's easier to talk about the stuff that wasn't perfect that the stuff that was, so let's start there. My Pan Bao, even though it had great flavor, the pork belly that they used was mostly fat. It was really just being unlucky because my wife's Bao had a much better meat to fat ratio. The mini lamb sandwiches were fantastic too, but I felt like they needed some sort of sauce. Maybe some sort of spicy sauce would have helped? That's just a personal thing because it was really juicy and flavorful, so it's not like it was dry. I just wish that maybe it was spicy.
Everything else however, was flawless...even the wings and the sauce they came in were fantastic. Best wings I've had on the island. The scallops came with a great sauce as well. The beef cheeks were magical! Super soft with a great gravy and mashed potatoes. Even the Eggs Paesa (Huevos de Payes) were perfect. flavorful mushrooms and the right amount of foam at the top. We ate a LOT of tapas! For dessert my wife ordered the chocolate lava cake which comes served over vanilla ice cream. If you've read my reviews you know I'm not a sweets/desserts guy but I tried it anyway. It was far too much sweet/chocolate for me but if you even remotely like that stuff it would be your favorite dessert. My wife devoured it! I'm surprised she even let me get a little spoon of it! One thing I will say about this place is that it's not VERY cheap. Our food with a couple glasses of wine (and a few beers for our friends) came out to about 38EUR per person. For tapas that seems like a bit to me. But I don't mind spending my money If I can eat well. And eat well I did. I can't believe I've lived a few min away from this place for months and never went here! Well I guess there is a first time for everything!
