Boqueria, Boston Seaport: Excellent tapas, quality service, friendly atmosphere
I won't hide it: my wife and I have had a bit of trouble finding quality restaurants since we moved to Boston: apart from the monotonous steakhouses, there aren't many restaurants with quality products and an original menu that...

San Fernando Restaurant Seville: good…but disappointing for fine dining
After popular local cuisine at Orangier and tapas revisited in gastronomic mode at Ena by Carles Abellan, here is a more gastronomic restaurant: San Fernando.
