'Menu del dia' Lunch

Today husband and I ventured once again to San Miguel. For those who do not know, San Miguel is a small town about 15 minutes drive inland from the coast. It's on a slight hill and is a quaint small typically Spanish town.

In the heart of the town is a restaurant called 'Meson el Prado", Address: Calle Lope de Vega. Tel 966 723 241. It was recommended to us and has been rated highly on other sites, so our expectations were high. Overall, it was very good.

Starters were various soups, Russian salad, or bean salad, mains were lightly battered sole, chicken wings cooked in a sauce or cheese and ham escalope. All mains came with chips and vegetables. With the meal comes a basket of bread and a salad. Desserts were a choice from their quite extensive dessert menu ranging from tiramisu to lemon tart, to the obligatory flan[egg custard].

The food was very good but we were slightly disappointed with the quality of the house plonk. You get half a bottle each which is included in the price. You may well think that for 8 Euros a head what do you expect, but we have come used to all house wine to be of a very high quality in other Spanish restaurants we have visited.

The restaurant itself is very spacious, very Spanish and also very clean. There is a large dining area split into smoking and non smoking and also an outside covered dining area with vines around the walls.

We will be back!
