A culinary pleasure without moving
The Academy of Gastronomy of Tarragona has had the opportunity to discover the authentic flavors of Asturias in a visit to the restaurant El Llima, located in Montbrió del Camp. Directed by the Pérez-Palomo family, this ‘Asador-Sidrería’ has become a gastronomic reference for the last eighteen years.
A space loaded with history
Academics have been welcomed in a unique atmosphere, an old stable that now serves as a restaurant. The decoration, which includes local art works such as those of the painter David Callau and other references to the culinary tradition, brings a special touch to the experience.
A menu that evokes tradition
The menu designed for the event, entitled ‘Sabor a Asturias’, has presented a selection of emblematic dishes such as the ‘Fabes with Almejas’ and the renowned ‘Asturian Fabada de la Guela Goya’. In addition, the ‘cachopos’ have been one of the best received surprises, culminating in a ‘chuletón’ of Asturian cow cooked at the table, accompanied by ‘Potatines’ and ‘Pimientos de Padrón’.
A Sweet Final and Traditional toasts
The feast would not be complete without a sweet touch, with the rice with milk and the cake of the grandmother who delighted the diners. The toast with Asturian cider added a festive air to the day.
A Musical Flatcut Note
The Academy wanted to thank the Pérez-Palomo family in an original way, singing ‘Asturias Patria Querida’ at a emotional moment during lunch. This gesture was highly appreciated by the hosts, who also received a diploma of recognition from the hands of Ana Vilallonga, President of the AGT.
Preparations for gastronomy awards
AGT academics already have their next appointment: on Thursday, May 15, in the castle of Vilafortuny, where the Gastronomy Awards will be held. This event promises to be a new opportunity to recognize talents in the gastronomic world.
