Cafe de Oriente

After touring the Royal Palace, we had lunch at nearby Café de Oriente. They had a nice menu del dia for €11.60, 3 courses including bread, drinks and 2 amuse bouche.

 

I loved their crusty bread.

 

 

Amuse bouche--egg salad sandwich and bacalao mousse on toast.

 

 

Smoked salmon salad. Nice and refreshing.

 

 

Eggs with blood sausage--very tasty.

 

 

Roasted pork leg with potatoes.

 

 

Thin merluza steaks with ratatouille.

 

 

Cheesecake--this is light and airy, not the usual cheesecake we find in the states. I like the thick and dense cheesecake better.

 

 

 Chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
