I have known and loved La Azotea since its inception back in 2009, and I have watched its progress (usually from a bar stool 😉 ) over the years. The latest change was moving their flagship restaurant to bigger and brighter premises just around the corner – and also right across the street from their wine bar La Tienda. A very smart move.
La Azotea continues to offer some of the best food in town. This is their first location that doesn’t have a bar, which is where La Tienda comes in handy, as it serves as a more casual spot for tapas. The adjacent “mini bar” is a cosy extension of the restaurant.
As always, the menu focuses of lots of fresh fish and seafood as well as quality meats and produce. Check the daily specials (some of the pics below are of specials so you may not find them when you go, but there will be something equally delish). Favourites include the tempura prawn salad with kimchi mayo, spicy red tuna in a crispy corn tortilla with guacamole and garlicky fried rabbit ribs. Excellent service, terrific wine list, fab food… what more can I say?
