Lunch @ Al-rruz
July 22nd, 2008 - Sandra MarshallWith all the excitement of the Euro2008 final , it feels as if we have used Al-rruz more as a tapas bar then a restaurant recently, so it was great today when Chris and I decided to have an impromptu lunch there!
I have been saying a lot recently that we should eat more fish, and whilst having a beer, Chris and I were watching Juan Carlos’s fresh fish supply turn up including some big great looking sardinas. It was at this point that Chris suggested we have lunch as we were both feeling very relaxed but getting hungry. Here was my opportunity to eat more fish, but I just couldn’t order it as, although I would have really enjoyed it, when I am in Al-rruz if it’s not paella, it just has to be one of their fantastic fillet steaks. As I explained to Juan Carlos, and to Chris’s great amusement, whilst my head says eat more fish, my heart cries out for steak!
Anyway our steaks were as delicious as ever, and we had some healthy salad and some not quite so healthy but very good deep fried prawn pancakes to start, all accompanied by the very good house red crianza. I wasn’t tempted by a postre but we finished off with coffee and a little cheese. Since then, it being a particularly hot day, I have mainly enjoyed a siesta, which is just the way to round off a great summer lunch!
