I ended work at 8pm and took a trot down to dinner at Asador at 8.45pm. Luckily we made a booking. Indoors was a full-house running on two seatings. They had to turn away walk-ins. Although nobody would want to sit outdoors without an overhead fan on a hot and muggy night.
I was right. There were only two high tables outdoors and the other was empty. This dinner would have been unbearable in this heat and humidity. So I brought our own fans. Choya had one too. It is hot, why complain more about it. I'll just find an acceptable solution.
Started with anchovies on toast and Japanese oysters. The husband finally got to taste the beef tartare on fried polenta. It was really good. It was supposed to be mixed in table-side. But us sitting outdoors ain't conducive for it. We also had blistered Padrón peppers and the grilled hispi cabbage with anchovy garlic dressing and fried kale.
The husband ate too mucth already, so his main was a 'lighter' chargrilled squid stuffed with chorizo on mojo verde. The grilled Iberico pork shoulder with mojo picon was nice, but honestly it was a tad fatty for me. I think I would simply do fish for mains the next time. The sea bream here is excellent.
We had a lovely bottle of wine, and didn't bother making it to dessert. LOL Choya did pretty all right with a fan; she knew it was essential tonight. She wasn't too bothered by the passers-by. She had a safe space under our feet and the table had sufficient space for her to even stretch out. Lingered to finish up the wine before heading off.
