| Situated at River Walk level of the upscale Hotel Contessa, Las Ramblas trades heavily on location and boasts details in tile and wrought iron that evoke the Barcelona of Gaudí. The current chef seems determined to bring equally detailed attention to small plates such as pickled squid in escabeche, and the cider-braised pork spare ribs. Yes, there’s the obligatory paella or three. But there is also the seafood-studded zarzuela Catalana and a Barcelona burger with pork belly and manchego cheese. Daily rotisserie offerings---beef, veal, lamb or pork---are also of interest. Diners not feeling especially español may opt for (comparatively) Yankee-fied fare such as Cornish game hen with grapes or Muscovy duck breast with blood orange molasses, and vegetarians will appreciate options such as the gazpacho tasting and the farmers market paella. Iberian offerings have increased on the wine list, but for tippling with tapas, also consider cava, the dependable Spanish sparkler. |
