What gets me is that absolute treasures like this place seem to be on every street in Spain while in London the equivalent restaurants are shoddy "reheat and serve" venues like All Bar One or Slug N Lettuce (I rather eat a slug). El Trobador has at least three sites across the city - I tried the one in L'Exaimple.
Eggs with Potatos; Salt Cod Salad; Sausage with Broad Beans; Melting Chocolate and Ice Cream. Doesn't sound like much, but at El Trobador those dishes zing.
Ok, the dishes might have lost something in my translation from Spanish - "Amalida de Bolets i Bacalao" sounds a lot more exciting than salt cod salad. Acompanied by a hearty wine that my Spanish colleague assured me was much sought after, and plates of bread spread with tomato (a Catalan classic).
