January 19, 2011 * The Plaza * Plaza Freedom No 17 Torrente (Valencia) 961 080 490 We
we hike west of Valencia, the town of Torrent, and find this downtown restaurant of the population. After nearly getting lost Karoleta a bad indication, we arrived without any problems.
find an enlightened local but with the door locked. We asked in the bar area that has the same local name and then we open the restaurant. We are alone and places us in a good restaurant to enjoy this dinner elmiercolestoca.
We offer a snack or go to the letter directly, after reading the short wine list are no entries surprised by what we wonder about the possibility of a suggestion out of letter but told us that at this time have nothing advisable so we decided on a classic, well-known wine, Les Alcusses, which takes its name from famous Iberian settlement of the same name in the municipality of Moixent. It is recognizable by the Iberians signs, still untranslated, as part of the label. Inside the bottle, despite being the second wine Celler del Roure we have a delicious wine, composed, always polite and unique taste. We like a lot and also next to a perfect temperature and with a pleasant surprise asked to prove who we serve, directly Karoleta, if you want to do it, pleasantly surprising because so far were they going to Quesoy or asked who was going to try. Will things change? The bottle is equipped with a small device that oxygenates the wine and serve it more open, highlighting the features. Fantastic.
We decided to ask for the letter, recommended that despite what we say it's the tasting menu because they have caught our attention several dishes on the menu. Next time. We see that the tasting menu is suggestive and have a very apeticibles pairing dinners.
As starters, anchovies, good size and texture but perhaps desalted over (you know what Karoleta likes both anchovies and order, also has emerged Quesoy your palate.'re Rich very rich but would be fabulous with a little salting), an impressive sautéed mushrooms, scallops and foie gras escalope: awesome ... almost the best dish of the dinner despite its simplicity, is what are the good raw materials and the care to cook. As the last entrant, we ask a micuit with rose petal jam and violet jelly. Say What? the micuit was really good, but accompanied mainly by violet jelly (which is superb) became an impressive bite. We Maldon salt (I found a bit dull) and we already elevated level. We devoured the plate, like all previous.
main course we chose a good beef tenderloin Lugo comes neatly pressed, so little done and accompanied by a delicate fried spinach leaves and two artichokes stuffed with spinach and ham. Good dish to share if you have the same taste for the meat section, too bad that half had Quesoy Steak fat and nerves appeared not to be expected. Half Karoleta was impeccable.
For dessert we advise us: a pastry filled with nougat ice cream and bathed in hot black chocolate. There are no words. Just fabulous. Quesoy
ends the dinner with his accustomed ristreto while sipping a good digestive Karoleta: a shot in a cold glass of Macallan, which is part of the wonderful supply of liquor that offers this facility. These two end points and invite us. Good detail.
