Dine from the Menu del Dia in Spain - Dining out tip

by stephna may (RSS feed) on May 3rd 2010 at 2:04PM

The Menu del Dia (menu of the day) in Spain will not only keep some extra Euros in your pocket, it will introduce you to authentic Spanish dishes and local fare.

This dining-on-the-cheap option is offered by many restaurants throughout Spain and is a great, penny-pinching way to fill up on a big lunch, then send you right into a proper afternoon siesta!

A typical 'menu' is three to four courses showcasing fresh, local specialties and comes with a glass or a bottle of "house" wine. Suggested use for the cash you save: a shopping spree along Las Ramblas.

Good tip! I have often gone for the 'menu del dia' and so far I haven't been let down.
For Spanish gastro fans based in the UK, 'A Taste of Spain', the annual free Spanish festival is coming to London's Regent Street on 6th June from 12 noon to 7pm and Edinburgh on 24th & 25th July. This is a brilliant opportunity to try some delicious Spanish dishes! I will definitely be going to the London one, it was brilliant last year.
