Food Style? Tapas and Seafood
In the chaos of the Mercado de La Boqueria on La Rambla is a kitchen called Ramblero. Walking by, it smells amazing. They have all this fresh produce mere metres away and my mouth drops open as I watch platters of seafood leaving for tables off to the side. I'm sitting the bar and probably can't eat a whole platter to myself, so I've ordered a few dishes to try.
Solo Tapas. Is there anything more sad :( Just let me down the white wine and I'll drop my inhibitions. I should have ordered sangria.
Tapas #1
Iberican Chorizo
The iberico chorizo is solid and meaty, but isn't very spicy. I like it though. I can see it matching with some bread and cheese.
Tapas #2
Croquettes
The croquettes are very good. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. In fact, they balance the saltiness of the chorizo.
Tapas #3
Grilled Prawns
The final dish to arrive is the prawns. They're surrounded by mushrooms and I involuntarily grimace. Despite that, the prawns are fantastic and melt in my mouth. They're so full of flavour. I even try the mushrooms. Nope. Not for me. There's a bit of chilli in the dish and I accidentally take a bite - it's hot!
It's a bit expensive for what I ate but the quality is there. I got a free shot of some traditional liquor too, but I'm not sure what it is.
