ANDALUCÍA - SEVILLA - BARRA BAJA RESTAURANTE
BARRA BAJA RESTAURANTE
This excellent Restaurant in the centre of Sevilla has an open kitchen. The food is structured as if in a market, with ingredients coming from oyster stalls, fruit stalls, fish stalls, butcher stalls, etc.
The freshness of the local 100% Andalusian product is most important here.
Once settled in, we had,
Carpaccio de cigalas (langoustine carpaccio). One of the standout dishes. I do not know how they could have carpaccioed (if that is a word!) a langoustine, but it was delicious and skillfully put together.
Corvina a la brasa (grilled large seabass).
Tartar de vaca retinta del bajo Guadalquivir y Tuétano (steak tartar with marrow).
Arroz meloso de pato (sticky, soupy rice with duck). This was another standout dish; the flavour was immense. When I asked how the rice was so smoky and rich, they explained that they kept adding and adding the stock.
Abanico Ibérico (Abanico Iberico is the part that wraps the Iberico ribs from the outside. It is a very marbled thin piece, making it the perfect Iberian pork cut to cook on the barbecue).
Lomo alto de vaca (400g ) (beef sirloin).
Torrija caramelizada y sorbete de naranja (French toast with orange sorbet).
La piña asada (roasted pineapple).
Tarta de queso (cheesecake).
To drink we had, Terra de Godos 2020 D.O. Rías Baixas, 100% Albariño Arena y Caliza D.O Ribera del Duero; tempranillo y Garnacha Vino de terroir criado con sus lías con ligero paso de roble (terroir wine aged on its lees with a oak touch). The food is complemented by an original and creative cocktail menu based on the local Jerez (sherry) wines and liquors, such as the Espresso Martini PXO below. Patrón XO café, Mezcal Vida, Pedro Ximénez y café espresso
On this occasion, the coffee was a flaming carajillo, with the liquor set on fire before being added.
This is an innovative casual Restaurant with a pleasant, warm, relaxed atmosphere and an exquisite level of cooking, serving food plated close to a fine dining style. It has very affordable prices for the quality and taste of the food you get here. A reassuring, informative waitress for the wines was available and gluten-free if needed. BARRA BAJA RESTAURANTE
