A couple of weeks we get to Avila for a celebration and the place was this restaurant in the city center, in a beautiful nineteenth century restored house on two floors, a few meters from Plaza del Mercado Chico.

I have to say that the first thing I love about this restaurant is the name, I guess apart from resorting to the pun, is a sign of identity of the restaurant and you will find this variety of pear in different decorative motifs used in the restaurant.

The owner and chef of the restaurant is Fernando Ortiz takes several years developing a kitchen with traditional basis, but rather developed and maintained with very good performance in this small town that has led him to become a gastronomic area.

We had talked long and hard in his specialty in rice and fish in season, and with this information we decided on Rice and Rice with Lobster police as main courses.

Let us begin by commenting on the rice. Both well cooked, good substance and good quality rice. In my opinion better and more flavorful stew that of police. In only but is that in both cases, the rice was a little over, but I do not dislike.

In the first we opted for some delicious clams sautéed with lobster, spectacular Black Pudding Stuffed pancakes with jam Pear and Spicy Tomato that fascinate for its simplicity and originality in the presentation and flavor combination.

Now, besides the delicious pancake sausage that you must lose, I think the surprise of the starters were impressive Lamb Sweetbreads perfectly clean and cooked with hot pepper sauce. For dessert we decided on a range and you can taste various specialties and the truth is that all very rich.

The balance is very positive and definitely recommended places. Otherwise I was invited, but I fear that perhaps the only drawback is the price of the place, depending of dishes and wines can easily go above 55 euros although they share first.

As always you have some photos .
