REAL – Real Spanish food from Galicia

Zurich

About 1 week ago I was in Real for the first time. I love Spanish food and actually I don’t know, why I have never been there before.

I chose fried octopus as a starter. But already when the plate came, I knew i will never going to finish this huge portion. So I asked for a doggy bag for the rest.

As main I had the “Mistkratzerli” a small poulard made in the oven with a lovely crust accompanied by Spanish potatoes and vegetables.

I also asked for the rest to be packed. I already imagined how I would eat it on Sunday and still enjoy it al lot….stupid thing was just that I forgot to take it with me when we left…

So I definitely will go back and finish my food 😉

Gertrudhof – Cordon Bleu Special

Looking for a real good Cordon Bleu? This is the place you should go!

You get the classic in large and extra large and many other styles. The venue itself is – you can call it cozy – but not trendy or chic at all.

Mallorca – A must in Palma. This is the little sister of the MISA restaurant of Marc Fosh and also known by locals as “Star kitchen for the poor”. You get the degu menu for 26 EUR including half a bottle of wine per person! Great food and if you reserve you can have a table in front of the open kitchen and watch the cooks spin around.

Bobo – Irish gourmet burger

Dublin – Fancy a real big and juicy burger for lunch? I recommend Bobo, the one close to temple bar area. We learnt that Bo means cow or beef in Irish Gaelic language. So it was obvious the best beef has been used for the burgers. In the meal was a drink and hand cut chips included – for only 10 Euro. Really worth it and I’m sure you do not get a better burger soon!

Pitt Bros Smoked BBQ Project

Dublin – The large neon letters BBQ caught our sight and we were curious to see what kind of restaurant this was. This concept was different from a common restaurant. While you are waiting for your table you can already order your drinks from the bar and try to select what you should choose from the menu – not an easy task for a meat lover…

My friend took the pork ribs and I had the burger filled with beef brisket and slaw (It was good, but the ribs were better….). It was not only very tasty, but also a bargain. Check the prices on the menu on the internet, you will be amazed! On top you can have soft ice after dinner as much a you like.

Las Tapas de Lola – Are we in Spain?

Dublin – As we were walking along Camden and Wexford street we saw a large crowd of people. As we came closer we discovered that most of them were queuing for a restaurant. The scents that reached our nostrils were very tempting. While we were waiting outside the next door pub, we watched the people going in and coming out of this rather small restaurant.

The food we had was great and we felt like in Spain. Actually I thought, I really have to do my next vacation in Spain again!

Just a little hint…if you don’t like garlic – avoid it like the Irish novelist Bram Stoker with his “Dracula”.

The Oar House – at the harbour in Howth

Dublin/Howth – Only 45 minutes by train from Dublin you are at the sea! We were lucky at our arrival with loads of sunshine and wanted to find out, what the fishermen caught in the morning.

We snatched the last table outside of Oar House and ordered half the menu as we were starving. Everything looked great and mouth-watering. After we finished our lunch we could not have been happier and were, as my friend named it “in Seafood heaven”.

Just next to Oar House there are many other restaurants, so you will never have a problem to find a space and local people told us there are ALL good restaurants as the fish could not be fresher.
