Dinner@Iberia.
When I heard Paul would decide the place, my bet was this restaurant, followed by Jing Jing. I was right, and was happy about that as both are my favorite restaurants:-)
Pulpo a la Gallega (steamed octopus), as usual. Good as always, but I feel a bit guilty because I know not many Americans like octopus, and so I often “end up” having most of the pieces.
Unknown appetizer.
The “first two” of the big shared plates in the menu. The stew-like thing (second one) was very good. Need to check the name on the menu next time…
Deserts.

Zarzuela. It was very good at Iberia, but is often different at other Spanish restaurants; it is the Spanish equivalent of boulliabase or cioppino.
It was good to see you.

Excellent photography! I especially like the shot of the seafood and rice platter – paella? I enjoyed meeting you and sharing the fantastic dinner.

no, it’s not Paella (we didn’t order it); it’s one of the “first two”, but I don’t remember the name…
A photo of Paella is available here:

And all: I enjoyed the dinner very much, too. I hope there’ll be another such event again:-)
