For the Mains, the steak was the best out of all. It was cooked perfectly, with the centre being nice and pink. The meat was tender and meat flavour was dominating. It was only seasoned with salt which made it tasty enough. The jacket potato was mushy, but it would be even better if the potato skin is a little crispier.
Stew Fish with Potato and Clams had become the favourite of Kevin. There was a generous amount of fish on the dish. I would say it's a little similar to some Chinese style stew fish in a pot. Though to me the sauce was a little too flavourful to have covered the natural sweetness of the seafood.
Despite its inappealling look, the duck casserol had the duck falling off its bones, extremely tender and it worked well with the mushy artichokes. It was a pity the dish was slightly salty.
Swordfish was similar fried fish fillet. The fish itself tasted bear but fresh and sweet on its own. I believe the highlight was the veggie strips in the slight tangy sauce, which helped reducing the greasiness of the dish.
For dessert, we ordered apple cakes and pinaapple kebab.
It turned out that the apple cake was thin layers of sponge with the custard used to make Crema Catalana in between them. It was slightly too sweet and creamy to our liking, or it was just a little out of expectation that we did not fancy it wholeheartedly.
The Pinapple Kebab was simply pinapple pieces on skewer , and served with custard. Although there was not something wow and surprising, it was actually quite refreshing after this huge, satisfying lunch.
One thing to point out that prices on menus are not including VATs. It was around 17-18 euros per person at the end which we believe it was still reasonable given the quality, the portion and the experience in such an ancient artsy place. Worth going!
