Review Time!

Micky and I went on a nice little date today!
We went to the Blau Resturant, a really nice place on Carrer del Tenor Masini, 61. That's only like a 10 min walk from the hotel we're staying at. Unfortunately, the walk was kind of scary because it was definitely NOT in a glam neighborhood.

Everything about the meal was delicious! It was a five course meal, and since we reserved on this nice website (www.restalo.com -- it lets you reserve and get discounts in Spain!) we got the meal for 60% off. Yeah we're saavy!

how cute!!


So when to reserve, you get a menu (we learned that in Spain, a "menu" is like a course meal that you choose)

We started out with Cannelloni with mushrooms in a creamy foie
(later we found out this was liver...Micky was NOT happy)

[Interjection by Micky: Literally, I was tricked into eating liver!!! When we relooked at the menu to remember the names of everything - it said, FOIE on our first appetizer. Vom. Never speaking about that again...also I called it when we were eating. R: "What's this inside?" M: "Ah, no idea, but it's a little weird. Probably some haggis-type stuff." R: "So good, though!" Foie...sigh.]

Followed by Andalusian-style fried calamari with salad

and Contrast salad, cubes of crusty bread, gorgonzola and apple


So those appetizers were shared between me and Micky.

For our main course, we could choose between Grilled Prawns, Beef burger with pepper, or Magret of duck with wild berry touch. Micky and i both got the grilled prawns.

We were very happy with these because they came with 5 and they were pretty big!

For dessert we had Profiteroles with chocolate fondant



(all of these pics I got from google because I was dumb and didn't takes pics, but these are pretty close to what the actual meal looked like)

All in all, the meal was absolutely amazing! The only downside was that we had to pay for the water...because they didn't have tap...idk.

For both of us, the meal was €32 which was a deal!

The best part was we made friends with the waiters. For some reason they thought we were really funny because we were american. They were so nice that they called us a cab afterwards because we were kind of scared to walk home.

overall, i definitely want to go back!
