Holiday memory — Crema Catalana that transported me back

I first ate Crema Catalana on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the rich with olive oil quality I remembered. Manchego cheese was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Spanish eating culture centres on long social meals rather than quick eating. It was the a Sunday family paella memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. Estrella Damm beer was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
