Príncipe de Viana

Description:

• This place has gotten rave reviews. Fish is of course the most important staple of Basque cuisine, and here you have a wide selection from which to choose. You might go the traditional route, with bacalao ajoarriera (cod with red peppers and tomatoes) or merluza en salsa verde (hake in parsley, garlic, and olive oil sauce). More adventurous modern concoctions include a salad with chipirones (baby squid) and mollejas (sweet meats) in a soy vinaigrette. Those with a sweet tooth will be more than satisfied with the dessert of cream cheese and mango sorbet. From the many Spanish and occasional foreign wines to choose from, the Albariño from Galicia is particularly recommended.
