When life gives you lemons

You go out for lunch. As our walking day was cut short we decided to find somewhere good to eat. After wandering around for a bit we did a Google search and found Los Templarios - reviews looked good so we thought we’d give it a try.

We were not disappointed. Smartly dressed waiters, classic ambience, but relaxed atmosphere. The menu was extensive and in Spanish, thank you Google translate. We decided what we would have with the help of some suggestions by our waiter. He chose well.

Firstly a glass of Rioja along with fresh bread and a fruity olive oil, a platter of Iberico charcuterie. Followed by two dishes which we shared - carrillera Iberica al vino (pigs cheeks in a thick wine gravy and Pluma Iberica (pork shoulder grilled pink) with home cooked potatoes crisps, both were just so so tender. Next up came pudding - deep fried white chocolate fritters with caramel crisp ice cream and a cinnamon brioche with white chocolate ice cream. Then coffee just to finish this all off.

A most enjoyable lunch for a very reasonable €85.90Read more
