La Boca (City Centre)

• I convinced Mr S that this was what we needed to do on our day off
• Arriving in between lunch and dinner meant that it was fairly quiet but that&rsquo
• Draught Estrella was ordered and we began trying to eliminate items from the menu to narrow down our choice
• A new restaurant has such hiccups and it really is not their fault but with so many places selling bread nearby I couldn&rsquo
• I like to use bread to mop up sauces in the little dishes so I was pretty gutted
• The queso in question was sliced manchego and the jamon was of my preferred iberico variety
• Bread appeared soon after with our brocheta &ndash
• The roasted salted tomato on the side was very much to my liking and I hope they keep it up with little jazzed up accompaniments

• Has the texture of really good quality pork with a cooked taste of iberico jamon
• One sounded like crema catalana but with biscuit on top instead of burnt sugar so we chose this
• When it arrived it was indeed like a rich tea on top with cinnamon but it complemented the crema

• Very impressed with our lunch at La Boca
• The waiting staff were welcoming and helpful
