Cafè Orient

I dropped in at 1400 on. Saturday just as the La Seu weekly market was winding down. The place was packed but I only had to wait about 5 minutes for a stool at the counter. I had the menu del dia. I started with the ensaladilla Rusa. Usually it’s basically potato salad, mushed potatoes in mayonnaise. But this was different. An equal of finely cubed potatoes and carrots with green peas absolutely heaped with tuna. Highly recommended. My second course was a beef charrasco that was a poor cut of meat, fatty and bony but it was superbly seasoned and cooked. I opted for coffee instead of dessert. Excellent lunch.
