Description:
This well-run and popular Salamanca restaurant, known for its nueva cocina (nouvelle cuisine), attracts businessmen and -women for its lunch and a trend-setting and younger crowd in the evening. Yes, that was Felipe, the crown prince of Spain, I spotted entering the restaurant with an entourage. Some of the more daring dishes, such as mixing apples with asparagus, may not be to your tastes, but you may find other dishes enticing, including my recently sampled tuna steak in a marinade (then grilled to perfection). The eggplant lasagna served here is also a delight, with fresh mushrooms and lots of creamy mozzarella. Whitefish salad in a delightful sherry vinaigrette is a good luncheon choice on a hot day. Inspired by Asian fusion cuisine, the prawn rolls make a delightful beginning. Another good dish is merluza (hake) from the north coast, served in an asparagus sauce. Desserts are always tempting and made fresh daily.

The dishes were light and delightful, made with fresh ingredients. The fact that we got a table in the garden made it perfect!
