… I
thought I'd let you know about La Estrella Tapas Bar.
Early
supper out on a Friday night with friends. La Estrella is
located at the bottom end of the High Street in Rushden,
Northamptonshire. To give you an idea how popular it is, we booked
on the 25th
September for ten days hence and got the last table.
It
is modern, bright and has a relaxed, informal atmosphere - café
style dining.
It
helps when one of the staff is Spanish - it gives a certain chutzpah,
not wishing to confuse cuisines!
Mixed
olives and bread are brought, along with pre-tapas drinks. I'm not a
“fizz” drinker but decided to throw caution to the wind and chose
a glass of Prosecco from the specials board, which was delicious and
I'm difficult to please.
The
menu caters for everyone - to cut a long story short here are our
choices :
Gambas
al Ajilio
King
prawns cooked in garlic, virgin olive oil
and
fresh chillies
Chorizos
del Demonio
Spicy
chorizo served with fire roasted red peppers
Whitebait
from the specials board
Patatas
Bravas
Twice
cooked potatoes smothered in garlic aioli
and
bravas sauce
Champinones
al Ajillo
Button
mushrooms in garlic and olive oil
served
with parsley and lemon
Queso
at Horno
Soft
baked goats cheese served with onion
chutney
and tomato jam
They were generous portions, so much so that we've decided that
when we go back we'll order two tapas each and then may be a patatas
bravas in the middle for all!
You must be expecting photos – and you'd be right – up next.
