Reopened recently. As good as ever. Solid service.
Salt cod rice croquettes, like arancini, with preserved lemon aioli and padrone peppers. Excellent.
Coca with runny egg, boquerones, something spicy, I forget what else. Surprising combination, delicious.
Also had the cabbage salad and a paella with rabbit, clams, beans, etc. There was a little socarrat, next time I’ll ask them to let it go a little longer.
I heard Paul is opening a French restaurant based on the food of Occitanie. Can’t remember but I think that’s the name too.
Cabbage salad tasty and refreshing as always.
Good version of patatas bravas.
Paella with seafood sausage and squid ink was very good. I forgot to ask them to cook it longer but there was a little soccarat around the edge.
Classic flan.
Duende Burger: lamb & beef burger + oveja al romero cheese-stuffed piquillo + tomato jam + house-made kennebec potato chips $19
Really good. Ordered, served, and ate during intermission of a jazz show upstairs and only missed a minute or two of the first piece in the second set. Will for sure order again.
I guess I won’t order that burger again, damn it.
