It was a fairly normal day yesterday, foodwise, with the American breakfast of eggs over easy, bacon and toast with Camembert and jam. For lunch it was duck pate on toast, from our favorite sausage place.....Dinner....well I went shopping during the day, and got asparagus, green beans and a red bell pepper for a salad, along with lemon for the vin and oranges for segments. Also got 2 nice steak cuts of el pescado Denton....but alas after the beach and shopping around for a table for our tv, dinner at our favorite Pinxo restaurant, Katagorri, sounded just great. So the fish waits for tomorrow.We started off with some Pinxos....sliced baguette....one with a small amount of shredded lettuce, slice of tomato, slice of manchego, jamon, and a fried quail egg. Another with tuna salad and an anchovy on top. We also ordered some hot tapas, 2 sausages wrapped in a slice of zucchini with red pepper sauce on top, served with a few sliced potatoes and basil oil on the plate. Delicious! Also we shared a small concoction of tuna salad with tomato, sandwiched with a few white sardines (bocarones) on each side, baked in the oven. Tasty. Then we had lomo, wrapped around a stick of gouda cheese and a pimiento de padron, then itself wrapped in a slice of zucchini and served with same red pepper sauce. Then Joshua (sorry I dont remember how to spell your name properly!!) was working on a new dish of albondigas, made with some foie inside. He brought them out complimentary and that was a pleasant surprise. Served with mushroom cream sauce and a chive.Our shared entree was the striploin from buey, or a castrated ox, served over wedge sliced potatoes, pimientos de padron, roquefort cheese sauce on the side, garnished with basil oil (or chive oil). A fantastic finish. I think that I am going to work here for a bit after the summer.
They have another location in the Golf area of Alicante, but my favorite is the downtown one.
