Always take a photo of the menu in the window. They often don’t give you a copy inside. The server will read the choices to you really fast and then wait for you to decide and it’s hard not to feel rushed, much less understand everything they said. Many food names in menus are not generally words that Wynette learned in her Spanish studies. We’ve had to learn a lot of new words in restaurants here. We still see new ones every day.
This photo above was the menu from a previous post with the trout bones.
The menus del dia are wonderful. Cheap and almost always very good. And it’s nice to make just a few choices and be done. Usually we choose two different things and share. And we learned you can order two firsts instead of a first and a second. The firsts have more vegetables. Usually they are 10-12 euro, this one was more because it was a Sunday, but you know us, the last of the big spenders.
That’s quite a variety of choices for a menú del día. And that was a very useful bit of advise.
