The Best

Reading a review of the world's best restaurants I smiled when I noticed that El Celler de Can Roca had been knocked down to second place. The story goes that we were in Barcelona and as a treat I stupidly thought that we'd eat at El Bulli on the way back to home in France. Stupid inasmuch as you had to book months in advance to get a table and I couldn't even get them to answer the phone never mind sniff a starter.
Anyway not to be outdone I found this restaurant in Girona which seemed to fit the bill. ECCA was ever so slightly posh but not yet numero uno so we got in. Frankly I can't remember what we ate but I do remember that we drank, a lot. We chose a tasting menu that included a specific wine with each course and by way of total overkill I'd ordered a lovely oak aged Verdejo which we had on top of it all. It came from Belondrade y Lurton and very, very nice it was too.
If anyone from ByL is reading this I'll take the wine (cases only).

The Bridge

We usually record series that we like and then watch each episode daily over a much shorter period. That way we don't struggle too much with characters and plot.
We have just watched the last ever episode of The Bridge and I admit that I'll really miss it. Saga Noren was a fascinating character not least because she was a clever police officer but also very autistic. Excellent.
