However Disappointingly, there was a great inconsistency in taste amongst our choices. The seafood dishes although very tasty were extremely salty to the point where it was difficult to eat (shrimp with rice). The shrimp in the potatoes and shrimp dish (a house specialty) was also very salty although the sauce it came in was fine. An off night for the chef perhaps? The shrimp ravioli with white truffle and cheese croquettes were excellent. As were the deserts we had. NB: English menus are not offered, which may be a challenge if there is no English speaking wait staff available to help with your order.

We ordered the tasting plates a series of some 9 or 10 flavours of Asturias. They were beautifully served enough for a taste but leaving you wanting more. Sublime flavours, interesting food most of which I had not had before. Great deserts and I’ve decided Asturias’ cheeses are some of the best I’ve had in the world. And, ah yes, a great wine menu. We stuck to local wine and were not disappointed.
