During our visit to Taberna Los Gallos, we began by tasting their famous chanquetes with eggs and peppers. A fun and tasty dish, ideal for sharing. We also tasted the seductive golden cod that transports us to Portugal with every bite. Made with cod, egg and crispy potatoes, we were delighted with the right combination of flavors and textures, which made us thoroughly enjoy the dish before tasting the original duck confit. A colorful and seductive proposal accompanied by a delicious cream of corn and pears in red wine. An exceptional elaboration that is certainly worth trying.

To finish, we ventured to try their curious version of the trendy dessert par excellence, the cheesecake. In mousse format and topped with a delicious scoop of cookie ice creamit was a wonderful way to conclude our evening at Los Gallos. A light sweet, not at all cloying and very recommendable that we fell in love with immediately.
