A couple days ago we went to the best tapas restaurant that I've eaten at so far--. It was delish! It was basically a la carte/buffet style. They had platters of all different sorts of tapas so you just took which ever ones you wanted. There's a skewer in each one and you keep your skewers and then they count the number of skewers you had and then charge you 1.5 euros for each one. There were 5 of us and our total bill came out to be 51 euros, including the pitcher of sangria that we ordered, aka. 10 euros each, not bad at all!

Starting on the left going counter clockwise: shrimp on mashed potatoes, tuna salad with a few strips of raw tuna, salmon topped with some sort of delicious cream sauce and cheese


In the back is a slice of some sort of sausage topped with cheese, asparagus, and a runny quail egg. In the front is an oyster shell filled with a cheesy/oystery blend and possibly baked with bread crumbs on top.



A couple days later we hit up another tapas restaurant of the same concept...

Sagardi

Starting left and moving clockwise: Cheese topped with a sweet sauce and pine nuts, crab salad in a croissant with carmelized orange peels on top, a sort of consolidated sweet and savory rice/meat casserole topped with a peach slice and ham. I think I actually enjoyed these more, but the place was so crowded it was hard to have a really nice time...


Yummmmm.
