Meson Burgos, Burgos

A small tapas bar located near the cathedral. Popular with locals and not too many tourists visiting. It was quite full, which is normally a good indication of good local food.

Favorite Dish: I was recommended to try Patatas Bravas, this is supposedly the best place in Spain to try them. Small fried potatoes covered in a spicy sauce. I was not disappinted, I ordered a second dish and a third.

This was washed down with a local red Ribera del Duero wine.

Another dish I tried was white asparagus with red pepper wrapped in ham, coated with batter and fried. It was excellent and I´m sure I will be cooking this at home soon.

Other delicacies from Burgos include, Morcilla de Burgos (a blood pudding) and Queso de Burgos (a soft cheese). I did not try these at the restaurant as they are things I eat often at home.
