it seems like every time we head to madison, there's a new (delicious) place that is added to the list of places to eat. this time, we head to estrellon for good eats with good friends.
estrellon specializes in spanish style tapas. they have a pretty extensive menu with lots of delicious options. what they also provide is a chef's special: a special curated menu of the chef's favorites with portions appropriate for the number of people who are participating (in our case, two. haha). we opted for this not only because we're lazy and indecisive (haha), but also because of our curiosity about what the chef had chosen and why he had chosen to include what he did on the chef's choice menu. and we were glad we did!
overall, the dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and delish. our server made sure to time our dishes so that we were always noshing on something or, as appropriate, had some space between one dish to the next. some of our favorites: shishito peppers, croquetas, paella valenciana, and, of course, the basque cake! no matter what you do, be sure to order the basque cake. it sounds simple, but it is super delish. definitely a wonderful way to round out a delicious meal.
