Who? Me
Food Style? Tapas
After a tour of Montserrat, I'm back in Barcelona quite late and I'm looking for food. I was intending to go to this place called Casa Lorea but as I walked by their menu, it didn't look very appealing. The only thing that stood out was their sangria selection, which I would have happily had if I wasn't so hungry. I continued walking down the road and found Tosca, so here I am at the bar by myself, with a white wine sangria in hand as I wait for my food to arrive.
Tapas #1
Chorizo with chimmichurri sauce
I try the chorizo first. Wow! There's a bit of spice and the sausage is delightfully meaty, but that sauce is the winner. It's so delicious.
Tapas #2
Fried baby squid
The squid is next. It's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, but it's nothing I haven't had before. Don't get me wrong, it's still very tasty, just not any thing special.
Tapas #3
Tuna tataki
The tuna is the last to arrive and I can see immediately it is beautifully pink and encrusted with sesame seeds. It's excellent. Fantastic flavour, great texture. It's the best of the three and I'd happily order another one of these right now.
Dessert
Home made banana caked
I know it's not very authentic but I decided to have banana cake for dessert. I was suckered in by the "house made" adjective. I also needed some more food to help digest the sangria. It's soft and warm, but perhaps a bit dry. It's good though, and I really like the walnuts.
