Restaurante La Boca- Córdoba, Spain



I recently got back from a fabulous trip to Spain, to celebrate a good friend's wedding. We traveled, we ate, we drank, and we ate! Chris and I took a new friend's advice one night and tried out a restaurant called 'La Boca', a really cute little restaurant right on the river.
I had to ask the waitress to define nearly every word on the menu, but as the pictures will show, I think we made all the right choices!
We started off with an amazing, 'Queso de cabra a la plancha y confitura de aradanos': Goat cheese with a raspberry marmalade













'Ensalada de quesito de zuheros gratinado y hortalizas asadas': Salad with grilled vegetables, and the best cheeese! It tasted like another type of goat cheese. The waitress did 'warn' us that we ordered a lot of cheese dishes :)
'Cous cous con pollo y cebolla caramelizada': Cous cous with chicken and caramelized onion. I loved how it came out in a tower, and I can't wait to re-create!
'Pasta con setas, nueces y gorgonzola': Pasta with mushrooms, walnuts, and gorgonzola. The presentation wasn't as beautiful as the rest, but the taste was spectacular.
'Tarta de queso con higos en almibar': Cheesecake with figs in syrup

The cheesecake was one of the creamiest I've tasted, and I loved that the crust was made of 'Marias', typical Spanish cookies that we used to eat when we studied in Spain!

The waitress was absolutely adorable, and after we didn't think we could possibly eat/drink anything else, she brought us large glasses of honey brandy.
