Places For Spanish

On first notice, this plate of paella didn't look like much. Topped with really fresh seafood and some garlic aioli, the black rice looks overly simplified for it's price. Before consumption, the entire plate was mixed to evenly distribute the aioli to give it a nice creamy texture. I loved how I could also taste the individual rice grains. It's a really nicely done paella. To my surprise, there were also bits of cut up octopus mixed together with the rice. Really a delectable treat! Would have put this on my full marks if not for the not so great portion (it's a tapas bar anyhow) and the slightly steep price tag but I would say that it's worth it. Definitely worth a try if you're visiting the bistro.

This dish is self-explanatory - Baked potatoes, eggs and chorizo sausages. The potatoes were slightly crispy which gives and extra dimension of texture. I could describe this as 'the taste of breakfast'.

Upon the first bite of this croquette, the creamy mushroom bits and broth oozes out from it's crispy shell. Creamy and crispy, this makes for a decent entrée.
