I go to Polpo so often that it feels like home, so I’ll breeze through this one.

Wine

Starting off with a cava..

Tomato

Melon and prosciutto

Nibbles

We left it up to the chef that night, and this is the kind of menu that came out.

Avocado and octopus

This one was a big hit.

Wine

This is the bottle we brought along.

Probably wild boar steak

Cilantro salad

Trippa

Hanwoo beef and uni rolls

Whisky of the day

Someone had picked it up at duty-free; it was fine, nothing more.

Spring greens pasta

Blue crab rosé pasta

Got to have it again this year.

Eggplant pasta

Making it this way takes an enormous amount of work, but it was so good.

Cognac of the day

Ragnaud-Sabourin Florilège. A cognac that seems to have become a bit hard to find lately. Aged over 40 years and outstanding value for money. It taught me that cognac is a spirit you drink for the aroma.

After the first round we moved on to Opas for round two. Got to see a familiar face I hadn’t seen in a while, too..

Cocktail..

Had a drink and headed home.
