"(critica en espanol mas abajo) a hidden gem found! monforte de lemos is a crucifixion town in galicien. the railways and main roads that drive to the northern western cities, as well as leave galic in the rest of Spain, cross monforte. it was in. this city that I found a jewel of a restaurant called manuels bistro. truly a best secret chef who has decided to stay in his hometown and offer the local high-quality cuisine that would otherwise only be found in the capitals of Spain. the restaurant is located in a rather inconceivable but beautifully maintained place in the “Duquesa de Alba” street. there are plenty of parking and go in a comes in a top restaurant style decor but cozy feeling inside. the personal was friendly and they can immediately say that they are experienced. the service was immediately. I started to garnel on the stick with her subtitle sauce. they were delicious, I could say all the ingredients in the sauce! that tells me that I had to do with a cook that follows the new trend away from traditional aromen and presentation and that every time offers a unique and special experience to the customer. my first leading role was cable fillet, which is really a great court. the fish was tender and fluffy and the taste was wonderful. not too buttery or spicy, exactly right. again the taste surpassed my expectations for very healthy cod filling. my second head was black medals. they were buttery soft, with mild combination of salty and sweet. very tasty. I shared two desserts, some delicious creamy canoe/cream and cheesecake. again, nothing boring here, I was currently surprised by the aromen. I can't help comparing the teaching of el bulli when I stop at a bistro. cooking has become more than a meal. harmonie, creativity, happiness, beauty, magic, provocation and culture. all products have the same gastronomic value, regardless of their price. preferred were vegetables and seafood with economical large cuts of red meat. the harmonie of products and aromas with regional cooking and modern aromas, although new combinations. my experience in the bistro of manuel fits all these principles, including the uniqueness of local culture, which makes travel to new places worth it. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— trenes y autopistas pasan desde monforte a las grandes ciudades del noreste de la península ibérica. en esta ciudad que encontré una joya de restauran llamado “Manuel Bistro” con un chef Proveniente de las grandes escuelas de cocina que decidió quedarse en su ciudad y ofrecer a los locales unos platos de alta cocina que normalmente se encontraran ciuda este restauran se encuentra en un lugar de finísimo detalle, en una calle modesta de nombre “duquesa de Alba”. hay estacionamiento de autos muy amplio. al entrar al establecimiento se respira un ambiente de lujo y acogedor al mismo tiempo. el servicio de camareros es profesional y experto.
