Amelibia

We had wanted to dine at Hector Oribe but it was closed on Mondays. Instead, we had lunch at Amelibia in Laguardia. It was rated highly on Trip Advisor.

Amelibia is located just outside the city walls.

You can order a la carte but ask for the "menu" of the day. For €16.50, you can have a 2-course lunch and an amuse bouche. No dessert but by the end of the meal, we were stuffed.

Amuse bouche--thick carrot soup. Slightly sweet but delicious.

This was one of the choices for the first course--pasta carbonara. I loved this one. Creamy but not eggy.

One of the choices for the second course--braised oxtails. Tender and delicious.

Another second course option--Albondigas. This was not good. Too much filler.

Beef tongue--not the prettiest presentation but very tender and flavorful.
