What a joy of a meal.
The pan con tomate, the anchovy, the marinated mackerel, the glass Grenache Blanc and Gris with the curious name of Babel L’étranger, a tribute to the essential dialogue between grape varieties and soils, which coexist in the same space.
Then came, the unexpected profiterole with anchovy, stracchino cheese and roasted red pepper, the reassuringly good tomato salad, the pilpil cod, the pan-roasted veal sweetbreads, another glass of a light,... More

Then came, the unexpected profiterole with anchovy, stracchino cheese and roasted red pepper, the reassuringly good tomato salad, the pilpil cod, the pan-roasted veal sweetbreads, another glass of a light, natural red wine, the grilled quail and caramelized torreja with vanilla ice cream with a Moscatel from Malaga to finish.
Product, flavour, rhythm, pace, unfussiness, friendliness, pleasure.
Gracias.

After an incredible lunch at @asadoretxebarrioficial we all headed straight to Bilbao for a late evening flight to Barcelona. Day 6 of the tour involved splitting the group for lunch. The reason will become clear in my next post. While half of the group enjoyed a lunch with some added surprises, the other half enjoyed a surprise lunch that was not announced on the tour schedule. Again I will leave it to one of my guests to describe briefly what unfolded at @restaurantgresca .
“Gresca: tapas with an attitude. Excellent. Go for the bikini sandwich, the morels and the quail, but return for the calf’s brain (exceptional), the cabbage and the celery. Highly recommended.”
What an incredible week. The Achefabroad best of Spain tour was a huge success and I honestly think that the lineup was unbeatable. 8 days, 12 amazing restaurants and 11 even more amazing gastronauts. Time to catch up properly with the posts so you can see exactly why you should be heading to all these world class restaurants. Please click the link in my bio to see what other fantastic tours we have coming up (Scandinavia, Thailand & Spain) DM me for more info.
We will be heading back to Gresca next year around this time for my best of Spain tour 2025 so please reach out if you’d like to grab one of the seats before they all go!
