Travels continue to Salamanca, Spain. We had local help and she recommended La Aldab. Also a big win and it hasn't been yelp reviewed yet.
Started with Pan, jamon, anchovy salad and Pimientos rellenos de morcilla.
All really good. The bread was a little dry but was used as nice vessel for some of the sauces on other meals.
The jamon was great with plenty of flavor with the perfect amount of saltiness. The surprise of the night was Ensalada de anchoas or anchovy salad. It was so yummy. Endive leaves housed a blue cheese mixture a flavor bomb when the anchovy was added. Pimientos rellenos de morcilla was the final appetizer. I did not know blood sausage was the filling, but wow it was great with the green sauce.
I ordered the Solomillo or beef tenderloin as the main entree. So tender with a simple cook. Ordered it medium and that is the way it arrived with a little rock salt on for flavor. Had an ice cold Mahou brew, I can see why it is Madrids favorite.
Amazing service they treated us incredibly well. The wine recommendation was great and at the end they brought us a coffee liqueur that was one of the best I've had.
Just so happened we ate during world cup season and Spain was beating Austria pretty handily so spirits were high.
Great atmosphere, we ate outside and closed the place down. What a night in a beautiful setting. read more
