Seeing Samantha Brown enjoy paella in one of her trips is enough to whet Vic's appetite for Alba's.
The last time we ate at Alba's was during our anniversary, before we had Johann. Yes, that was a long time ago. The food was even better than I remembered. The pates were really good. I wasn't really too keen on their cold cuts. I find them salty. I specially liked their famed paella and callos. The cochinillo, Spain's version of lechon de leche, was so light and crisp. I had the canonigo in between courses to erase the richness of the previous course.
I thought only a few enjoyed Alba's. Whenever we dine in one of their restaurants, it was always us and several groups of people. It was never filled to the brim. However, last week's experience was different. It was a good thing that we arrived early. Otherwise, we would've eaten at the bar.
When we got our bill, I was surprised that they raised the buffet price to 650 per head. Oh well.
