Reliquia

There’s a palpable sense of authenticity in this hugely friendly restaurant, where the young owners have created a warm and welcoming ambience that is perfect for a romantic supper. The service is attentive without being excessively formal or intrusive, while the soft colour scheme contributes to Reliquia’s warmth and intimacy. The menu is equally attractive with options for every taste – the chef has a perfect command of flavours and textures and uses techniques such as escabeche to raise the level of his dishes further, many of which showcase vegetables in a more rustic, home-style manner. We suggest starting with the delicious brioche-style bread with smoked butter, followed by the beetroot, “alcauciles” (artichokes) and the Brussels sprouts (“repollitos”). The agnolotti is a very popular main course, although meat-lovers will also be keen to order the lacquered pork steak (“churrasquito de cerdo laqueado”).
