The dishes are served as they are ready in a laid-back, informal style that encourages relaxed grazing. It’s a bit chaotic yet somehow soothing at the same time. Everything we tasted was superb. They bake their own bread, which came with delicious olives that were to die for. The chorizo in cider was so incredible that I ended up using more than my fair share of the fresh, crusty bread (apologies to my dining companions) to soak up every last drop of the sauce. The Romesco sauce accompanying the chicken, which had perfectly crispy skin, was so good that the plate went back so clean it barely needed washing. We finished off with the unique dessert option: amaretto semifreddo, which was perfect. The drink selection also matched the eclectic theme. I had never tried Blue Monkeys before, but I loved their Infinity Class Ale, while the BG Voices was also quite good. We followed that with a carafe of chilled coarse red wine that paired perfectly with the rich dishes. There was also a Godello on the list. I can't help but feel that Palaco is a passion project from a secret millionaire who wants to serve as a culinary benefactor to Morley residents. It seems too small and affordable to provide a substantial profit for the owner, but I believe it's a hidden gem – definitely the best restaurant in Morley. I can't wait to return!
