Wrap-up of EL NORTE

2 days were certainly not enough in Galicia and Asturias, especially given it was my first time there. Nonetheless, with the very limited time we had, we managed to visit a few very special places, which definitely merit another trip. D’Berto in O Grove – iconic seafood institution, specialising in…

Seafood temple – Güeyu Mar

Last night at Güeyu Mar, another seafood temple, that’s been on my list for a while. The simple restaurant steps away from a beach specializes in the local seafood, namely deep seawater “Rey fish”, that is very similar to or same (?) as Splendid Alfonsino or Kinmedai ( キンメダイ). The…

Highlights from D’Berto

Highlights from D’Berto, one of the places I’ve been wanting to visit for a while, known for exceptional quality seafood caught from the local Galician seas.

World’s best turbot

World’s best turbot

World’s best turbot at Elkano- it’s all about the terroir, product and not ruining it. “Char-grilling a two kilo turbot requires a fish griller the size of the chosen turbot. Salt is sprinkled onto its light coloured side before it is placed on the grill. The embers must be moderate:…

Andalusia list by Mr. Holyglory

Despite being overbuilt and touristy in certain areas, Andalusia still has something untouched and raw about it. While most foodies refer to the Basque Country (which I love, of course) as the capital of gastronomy in Spain, it’s in Andalusia’s little fishing villages that you will find some of the…

Kiro Sushi

Some highlights from my lunch at Kiro sushi last week, easily one of the best “Edo-mae” style sushi restaurants in Europe at the moment. It is located in Logroño, La Rioja, the place you will probably not travel to eat sushi, yet it’s definitely worth a special trip. Most of…
