Spain, Part II: An atmospheric restaurant, brimming with locals prowling the Spanish capital.
Housed in a century-old building, La Favorita soars with the sound of music, six nights a week.
Opera soloists entertain customers with romantic arias to spark a sense of drama at dinnertime.
Let's start: Anchovies on toast whet the appetite for greater things to come.
Unparalleled comfort food: Truffle-poached egg, Jabugo ham & potatoes in a cream of squash & wild asparagus. Wish we could replicate this recipe at home.
Pea! r raviol i with sauteed mushrooms & cheese. Subtly sweet, slightly savory & entirely earthy.
Medallions of gazelle with borage & glazed shallots. Who knew that gazelle tastes like venison?
Sturgeon marinated in mustard & honey, with crisp violet onion. Meaty fish, but not as moist as we like 'em. If you want fish with a texture evocative of chicken breast, order this.
La Favorita,
Madrid, Spain.
