With a tail to snout philosophy you will find some delcious and unusual cuts of meat here that are cooked with care and skill. Part of my lunch menu ( The 17 Euro lunch menu is amazing value though I chose to pay a supplement for the special tuna dish) was a grilled pigs ear served on " smoked" potatoes that really hit the mark. One of the servers( lovely people who really understand the menu ) swears by the snout with smoked eel. My main was another unusual cut , a tuna" collar" from close to the gills that really looked and ate more like a cross between a bone marrow and grilled pork chop. This is an incredibly rich piece of fish and far different than the usual tuna " steaks" which are slapped on the grill for a few seconds and served red raw in the middle, well worth the extra supplement. On the whole I think my favourite were the fried anchovies simply served with lemon and salt. I am not a fan of the canned variety but try an anchovy fresh out of the water and you have something completely different.. yummy. I only managed half the desert after such heroric eating ( my first course was the croquette of the day) so this was a lot of food.... The wines are Valencian of the " bio" variety . I generally dislike bio wines but I was able to find a couple that drank well enough .The bobal and the white , I dont remember the varietal , I tried were ok. The grenach and the tempranillo were better. They are kind enough to let you try before you buy so I waved off the rose which I found particularly nasty in that vegetal bio sort of way. For what it's worth to the management , I always think it's a good idea to offer up some traditional wines for those of us who prefer them so you might consider it. I personally am not afraid of a little sulphite and there are so many really excellent Valencian wines out there that don't fit the bio profile that would go so well with the food you serve. This was a very enjoyable solo lunch sitting at the bar which is a lot of fun if you happen to be travelling alone.. Make a reservation!
