La Fresquita de Perea

had our dinner in zahara de los atunes at this restaurant La Fresquita de Perea after getting groceries. There is a Tuna festival here that our host told us about. she is down from Madrid to enjoy it. the restaurant was ok a bit overpriced for what you got and no small tapas plates. the diced tuna with seaweed was good and presentation was lovely but it is very similar to our poke bowls back home. the corvina and prawns were excellent. nice fillet grilled well with a sweet onion mix on top and again presentation was great. the clams were a disappointment they were far too salty and no interesting herbs. they also punched in an extra 20 e when we paid the bill which we caught and colin got back 20 e but I got the feeling because we didnt speak Spanish they knew we were tourists and maybe they could get away with it. it was just the clams that are bugging me. went back to our place and enjoyed the sounds of the waves with a glass of wine and one of our tortas de aceite on the patio. I think we will need to get better at Spanish, and the accents......
our host just told us that they should have tapas and they should be participating in the festival so she wasnt sure why we weren't allowed to have tapas. she did say after 830 in the eve is when it starts......she also said he had a very good kitchen as he had trained with Antonio who has one of the best places in town.En savoir plus
