XXL Montadito


A montadito in Spanish Tapas vernacular is usually a humble slice of bread topped with a variety of ingredients. These can be quite colourful and quite good, especially the warm toppings like asparagus rolled with cheese and ham, grilled chistora sausage, foie gras and pear. But I have kind of seen them all in my two years here (although I haven;t been to San Sebastian yet which apparently is montadito heaven).
But the XXL montadito at 15€ a serving is another story.
Olive oil coca bread topped with fresh grilled artichokes, onion fondue, melted local cheese and a perfectly grilled, sliced king scallop. It's become something of a star of the local tapas scene and I think it's worth the money too.
