Trip to the city
As the kittens ruined the first playpen we bought before we started fostering, we needed to buy a new one to make sure we could lock them up during the nights, if needed. This is not only to protect our furniture but also to keep them safe while we can't pay attention. We decided to go back to the same store, but this time to another city as we just didn't fancy the drive to the one that was closer to us.
After we saw the whole store and bought the playpen, we were ready for a drink as it was a hot day. I saw a cafe or bar (I wasn't sure) right next to the store, and it seemed to be the only one nearby as we were a bit disconnected from most things because the store was located in an industrial area.
Let's check it out
I assumed it was mostly the terrace area and just a tiny bar inside, but the terrace didn't have any free tables with shade so we were not keen on sitting in the direct sun. Instead, I opened the door inside and was pleasantly surprised by what I found: a very cool bar with a lot of ambiance.
Looks nice, right? We saw it was filled with locals and it smelled delicious inside. Grill and steak, count us in!
We were lucky to find a table to sit at and were treated by the lady of the house. We ordered our drinks and checked out the menu.
Argentinian grilled steak, yum!
We didn't need much time to decide here, as soon as we saw they had grilled Argentinian steak we said, that's ours! I expected that to be expensive but it was something around 2,50 for each tapa. Usually, we are a bit disappointed when we have a tapa with meat, let alone a steak one. This time we were very pleasantly surprised though. Check out our tapas:
The grill taste was amazing! We were enjoying every little bite, so good! It's been a while since we had a good piece of meat like this.
Our daughter didn't feel bold, she had chicken nuggets. Thankfully these were a bit better than the usual fabric nuggets, lol.
A few extra fries, thankfully fried well.
So far so good! We weren't ready to leave though, we ordered another round as the steak was so good.
That little grill mark does the trick, doesn't it? They didn't disappoint us at all and we sat there for 2 hours maybe as it was nice and cool and the locals chatting in there made us feel at home. The good food, some good music on the radio, and friendly hosts made this by far the best tapa round this year!
Cool toilet
Before we drove back home, we visited the toilet because we had a 30-minute drive ahead or so. When opening the door to the toilet, we were pleasantly surprised by the cool stickers on the walls:
Can you recognize them all? Mona Lisa, Rihanna, Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, and Amy Winehouse are clear, but who else do you see? Did you spot Beyonce and Frida Kahlo?
We will return
We don't come to the city often but I'm quite sure if we need to go to this particular store again, we will make sure to visit this place again. Not only was it open all day, which is a plus, it was such a good visit we want to check it every visit is this great. Sometimes you just get lucky, but as it was filled with locals we think they are a good tapa place in general.
