Casual dining Good Spain

Very special cooking at Mina @minarestaurant in Bilbao, which is run by the very talented chef Álvaro Garrido @alvarominaboi.

Aubergine confit with red tea and white prawns

Smoked bluefin tuna belly pastrami, served with herbs and curry

Bone marrow with rosemary poultry broth, served with truffles and spiced potato
