Aita mari – a table by the sea June 18, 2007
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Cafes & Restaurants,Travel , trackbackGive me good food, a decent wine and a view of the sea, and I’m happy. And so, yesterday evening, I found myself upstairs at the Aita Mari, overlooking the harbour, something crisp and white from Navarra in one hand and a menu in the other. It feels like holidays.
I started with a tower of vegetables, and I’d show you a picture, except that the laptop, having refused point blank to talk to my phone, is now being rude to the camera. What’s a girl to do when her devices aren’t speaking?
I was amazed at the vegetables. For a country which must grow half of europe’s greens, Spanish food often lacks more than a simple salad, and can be very meaty. It might be the machismo thing, but it was good to see brocolli and cauliflower for once.
I then moved on to a filet of Lomo, a white, succulent fish. I’m not great with seafood, and hate fish that comes whole, but ‘pescodo sin cara’ seemed to do the trick. Filete was probably the word I was looking for. It melted in the mouth, and didn’t leave enough room for postres.
