Alba Restaurante Espanol
How many variations are there of paella? Ask the Don and he’ll serve it in over a dozen, different delightful ways, each distinctive of the other. Don Anastacio de Alba is undoubtedly the ambassador of Spanish cuisine in the cuisine. His self-named restaurant carries the tagline “home of traditional Spanish cooking” and justly so. Backed by over half a century of experience, Alba’s continues to draw a crowd of loyal regulars with its extensive menu which ranges from a wide selection of Tapas cold (Jamon Serrano,
Chorizo de Pamplona, Olives Stuffed with Anchovies) and hot Rabas Fritas (deep-fried squid tentacles), Mejillones a la Brava (baked mussels in spicy sauce), fresh Ensaladas, Pasta, Paellas, Carnes (Solomillo a la Alba or Alba’s steak flambé with mushroom sauce); Fish and Seafood (Cangrejos Fritos al Enjibre or fried king crabs with ginger), and Alba’s signature dishes such as Lengua Sevillana, Callos a la Madrilefia and Conchinillo Asado tender, roasted suckling pig enticingly, impossible to resist. Relax in the Castilian-inspired interiors as you throw your diet out the window and prepare for a dining extravaganza. Although ordering may take time because of its expansive classic Spanish dishes, one can never go wrong with the Paella Negra (black paella with stuffed squid) and luscious Canonigo for dessert. It will leave one satisfied in the belly, wallet and taste buds. Top-of-the-line ingredients, careful preparations and a well-thought-of menu make Alba a treasure among the throng of Spanish restos. It is surely worthy of a return visit—and another visit after that.
