El Encuentro

A nice seafood restaurant. The paella is very good, with several large prawns. The processing is not as good as in China. The cheese squid is very good, and looks like a carrot.

Excellent service and ambience. Many of our dishes were excellent - especially the fish - but my steak was tough and very raw. Desserts were greeat and wne selection is very broad with something for every price range.

Fun open air seating facing the tree lined and charming San Vicente Martyr Street. It was hot, and we chose to sit in the interior. A narrow hallway with tables on one side facing shelves filled with wine bottles on the other. Impeccable white table cloths and wine glasses already on the table, an open invitation to any of the wines presented on the shelves on the opposite wall. No wine menu, just wines.Our server helped us to choose a wine among vintages from several regions in Spain to match our food order. Wines were priced from 13 Euros and above.We ordered artichoke hearts, ham croquettes as appetizers, followed by suckling lamb chops and veal for our main courses. Everything was well prepared and served at a good pace to allow for our full enjoyment of each stage.El Encuentro offered a casual dining experience in an excellent price performance range. Don't miss the artichoke hearts!
