#胡嘎吃午間套餐【Menú del día🍽️ | Bar Restaurante Asturianos】

以前介紹過，西班牙餐館「週間」「午餐」時段有供應一種很佛心的東西叫做”Menú del día”，英文是Set menu of the day，中文我喜歡翻作午間套餐，也有人愛叫它商業午餐。

🉑️挑一道前菜、一道主菜、一款佐餐酒水飲料、甜點和咖啡還可擇一(點了甜點要加咖啡就要加錢的意思啦，不過一杯咖啡在馬德里一般「傳統」餐館不過才1.5歐元☕️)。一份套餐大約10到13歐元，相對於單點一道菜就差不多這個價錢，可說是超級無敵划算！

重點是：
🙋🏻‍♀️午間套餐多是西班牙媽媽奶奶家常菜，可吃出一家餐館的火候和功力🔥家常菜做得好吃的話，表示這家餐館值得回去點菜吃！
🙅🏻‍♀️市面上還有一種套餐叫做”Platos combinados”，價格Range從6歐元起跳，但是會用炸馬鈴薯餵飽你，大部分做這種套餐的都是地雷餐館💩我個人是不建議吃啦，多花一點點錢就能吃份好套餐，Why not？

最近我們終於造訪我家附近一家馬德里官方旅遊網站說具有”cult-like status”如此厲害的阿斯圖里亞斯地區風味餐酒館(Asturias，西班牙北部的綠色世外桃源)，主廚奶奶Doña Julia不僅家常菜做得好，還有厲害的新式料理，而且由兒子們管理的酒藏神奇地豐富🍷

果然他家的午間套餐，從前菜到甜點都💯家常到位！還見到了奶奶本人出來跟老客人寒暄👵🏻和阿卡說好下次一定要回去吃奶奶的阿斯圖里亞斯大菜、點瓶珍藏好酒😋

當天吃了：
🥔阿卡前菜：西班牙版本的俄羅斯沙拉
🥬我的前菜：葡萄乾燉菠菜
🍖阿卡主菜：西班牙臘腸煎蛋
🥩我的主菜：阿斯圖里亞斯滷牛肉(Ragú de Ternera Asturiana)
🍷飲料：As always，紅酒套甜碳酸水(Vino tinto con gaseosa)
🍋我的甜點：檸檬雪酪
🍨阿卡甜點：一種用雞蛋和牛奶做成的傳統甜點Natilla

推薦大家來西班牙一定要嘗試一下Menú del día，此時餐館總會聚集白領上班族、藍領大哥大伯、退休爺奶一族等各種社會群體，有的熱鬧滾滾、有的安靜配電視，總之是庶民大眾的最愛啦😍

馬德里官方旅遊網站這麼說：

“Having achieved something of a cult-like status in Madrid, this Asturian restaurant serves up traditional dishes alongside a more contemporary offering. Lovers of meat and vegetable stews will leave here happy, with beans, garlic soup, chicken stews and much more on the menu. Those who prefer more modern cuisine won’t be disappointed either, with marinated sardines and monkfish carpaccio with sea-urchin caviar. Two good-value set menus are available every day, as well as a choice of stews and hearty soups. They have an excellent wine list and their desserts are far from run-of-the-mill.”

美食評鑑OAD (Opinionated About Dining)把他們家評為Gourmet Casual Europe類排名第198名：

There's so much to be said of Cadence Restaurant by Dan Bark , changes so acute should be given the time and attention.

First of all, Cadence is immense. From the origins of their quaint second floor shophouse restaurant they've moved to an almost blank facade building, with multiple faceted rooms; a bar/waiting room, Caper ("casual" dining room), and a design which even accommodates a "desensitising" room which subdues the mood between bar and restaurant. In this darkly lit room they will serve you champagne, surrounded by mirrored walls & candle light reflections before entering the fine dining space.

After idle chit chat and multiple selfies, the curtain is pulled beck to reveal Cadence, the room most vast in size and luxurious with its banquette seating, muted beige and white tiled, open kitchen. We can't help feel we've entered into some black and white vintage movie set, to find a slick haired Carey Grant sitting in the corner smoking a cigar and Audrey Hepburn opposite, swirling a crystal Martini glass. Totally class, absolutely charming and meticulous in detail, if maybe a little too brightly lit and scripted for some.

The opulence of Cadence transcend throughout the meal, with the first bites of Oyster and Caviar. The later, GROUPER and LAND dishes are suitably luxe and fitting with mature fine dining conventions, although the 'American contemporary' title often feels misplaced.

Yet, once the Red Shrimp appeared we rediscovered the taste of the Dan we know. It's combination like watermelon, lemongrass tea & toasted milk which reminds us of an adept skill with respect to fresh ingredients combined with exotic flavours & flair of technique.

The same could be said of the PEA dish of English Peas, Lavender, Creme Fraiche, Prosciutto. Dan manages to bring out vibrancy in dishes that have an uncanny ability to imprint on one's memory palate. I can still taste those peas!

But the 'pièce de résistance' of the entire experience, undoubtedly is the BEEF; Burdock, Kelp, Ssam Jang. It had all the markings of being fine but with the presence of Chef's Korean culture and the quirkiness of a young, cheeky, fun chef. We could truly feel his culinary heart beating in this one.
