I Discovered a MALL in Spain Serving a Stunning Three-Course Meal!

[@andrewmeasures2312]

That menú del día looked delicious Stuart and amazing value too. I would expect to pay around £40 for a meal like that on the outskirts of London where I live. The restaurant looked quite nice with friendly service. What more do you need? Nice one.😀👍

[@spainspeaks]

Hi. I thought the price was reasonable. Quality good too.

[@jacquesblignaut7844]

Stu, I think your son really looks forward to your meal videos. When you pick him up at school, does he ask you, "What's for lunch today?"

[@MariaNI-yf1bz]

@12:42 Padrón is a bit of a misnomer. Technically speaking, these peppers are from the Herbón area south of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia region, northwest Spain). Padrón is a town in the area, but important for the peppers: San Antonio Franciscan convent (14th c) is in the Padrón parish, and it was the Franciscan monks who brought these peppers from the Americas, probably in the 16th century., were they first grown from seeds brought from Mexico. Over the course of several decades they acclimated to the local soil and became the prized Galician heirloom pepper of today. Presently they are also cultivated in Southern Spain, Morocco, the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

[@Osusackett]

That Caesar salad looks nothing like the Caesar salads in the US, and that’s not a bad thing. It looked amazing. 😻

[@anthonyferris8912]

@Osusackett Looks nothing like a caesar salad anywhere.

[@ElizabethBidinger]

I didn’t recognize that Caesar and it’s not like that in Mexico where they originated.

[@youngspiritsinging]

I have never seen fried chicken on a Caesar salad here in the USA. I do think it normally comes with croutons here . I do not like fried chicken so that would be a deal breaker for me but as far as the rest of that salad it was huge and looked good.

[@ElizabethBidinger]

@ Caesar salads do not come with any protein on top unless requested by the diner. That must be the restaurant’s idea or maybe they do it in Spain. There are anchovies in the dress on a traditional Caesar.

[@carlosespinosa2188]

Here in Dallas, a ceasar salad at la madeline french cafe is just romain lettuces, grated parmasan cheese and a few croutons. With a small glass of red wine i pay $21. Plus 20% tip on top. No second course and no dessert. Your menu del dia was definitely a bargain.

[@laf43777]

That’s where Spain is king. The food is great and the prices are reasonable

[@joebloggs4191]

I’ve been to Casa Carmen a few times and find it hit or miss. At least they serve some veggies with their mains, which is very rare in Spain!

[@paulnipper]

Winna for me Stu, and great value. I'll give Casa Carmen a go when im passing. Thanks 👍🏼

[@timbrandis1151]

The steak looked perfectly rested too,Stuart. I don't know how you do it but I can't eat without that delicious Spanish bread to accompany the food.

[@123seanaway]

Great video Stu..1800's lot of Irish emigrated to Argentina. One man was Jimmy Curry. He missed Worcestershire sauce and tried to make it. Ended up with Jimmy Curry sauce, which locals pronounced Chimichurri.

The Menu del Dia is my go to choice for lunch when I'm in Spain, always good value for money. I'll be back in Spain (Andalucia) in a couple of months time and can't wait to have the Carrillo de Cerdo again in Malaga. I grow my own Padron Peppers from seed here in Canada, not as good as the ones in Spain, but close enough. That steak looked amazing Stu.

[@highflyer1965]

Hola Stu. The standout item for me was the salad but the entire meal looked great! Thanks for the review.

These videos give a practical view of dining in Spain. Much appreciated. Someday, please go into the old town of Madrid and dine at Casa Alberto, Taberna Alabardero, La Copita Asturiana, and others where it is still “old spain.” Thank you.

[@Eddie-w5p]

Great selection ; the salad looked delicious and your enjoyment of that steak confirmed it was a standout. I would have. Preferred a beautiful instead of yogurt. The price was incredible, excellent value. Well done on the 3 glasses of vino! Loved the review, well done.

[@alastairjohnson4038]

We went to the the Casa Carmen (a chain) recently to celebrate my wife’s birthday, on the rooftop terrace of Madrid Rio 2 shopping centre, opposite the Matadero, with great views over Madrid, but have to say we were not impressed, mainly because the dishes, especially the starters, were ridiculously small…you got much bigger portions in the menú del día! Best thing was the view!

[@chrisclarke8699]

Looked fantastic absolutely add bargain

[@jonniesantos]

The salad was invented by an Italian living in Tijuana (MX) in the 1920’s - that one looked awesome! Fun review. Thank you Stuart.

[@patmuller4461]

I don't usually go to malls, but one time while traveling, the vegan options restaurant I had found on Google maps was closed and so I decided to go to the mall. Advantage number 1, you can park easily in the underground garage. Advantage number 2, there were many restaurants all together and it was easy to find one with vegan options and the food was great.

[@MarI-Posa]

Good value menú. Can't go wrong with entraña and chimichurri.

[@jennetdecaresle5174]

Superb value Stuart! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@DerekKenny-l2u]

[@ciar67]

Good shout on the subs Stuart, particularly for us learning Spanish. Funny enough, I had Argentinian steak for the first time last week but it's not for me, I lurves my fish. Did look quality food though.

[@drguylenegigitree1044]

Caesar salad??? Nope. Needs another name but it looked good. Looks like the steak was cooked to a perfect temp and very tender. Good choice. Loved this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@allandonovan4620]

The key ingredient in a Ceasar Salad is anchovies, Romaine lettuce and yes croutons. Ceasar Salad was invented in Encinitas, Mexico 🇲🇽

Hi Stu, that was lovely and glad you took some home for your son. A bargain my friend.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420]

I think that was excellent value. Not charging for bread is also a bonus - it seems to be becoming more common to charge.

[@Toltecgrl]

Everything looked good. That steak made my mouth water 🤤 I don’t know what desserts are common in Spain but the yogurt is something I would enjoy!

[@patriciaelms5340]

A bargain. The salad alone could be $20 here in the US. Thanks again for an informative video

[@pyellard3013]

I grow my own padron peppers in n Ireland I send to Spain and buy the seeds why I do that is I love the roulette you don’t know what they are like till you bite them I grow for taste in my pollytunnels my tomatoes are gorgeous as are all my vegetables sorry for getting a bit excited I love growing my food and cooking it love your channel Stu good luck for the future my friend 🤝

[@erikamartin-wallace5991]

Very nice meal and reasonably priced. Must say that a bit surprised that the chicken was fried as normally this salad uses bits of roast chicken. The Angus Entraña must be very good as it is one of the best meats. Loved the idea of yoghurt with mango purée.

[@DeannaAllison]

Seems like a solid bargain to me! Good if not perfect and really great value.

[@Chris_Carini]

Good find. Noted. 😊

[@youngspiritsinging]

Stu ,I would have ordered the fish personally . This was a lot of food and actually overall was impressive for the price and quality you described. I loved the fact that the restaurant had cloth tablecloths. That is so rare where I live in the Denver, Colorado, Metro in the USA. A place like that here would cost an arm and a leg and a head and in my experience . I would not see a place like that in my neighborhood, which is full sadly of fast food , one sit down stir fry restaurant and a good Pho restaurant. .

[@billcook4768]

Stuart: I’m going to go for good value today - Shocking :)

[@philOKC]

Stew, my wife and I just finished lunch in a restaurant in Sevilla and I had Pisto for the first time. It is now at the top of my favorites. If you have not yet featured Pisto in your food videos, would love for you to try it and let us know what you think. BTW, my plate of Pisto had a fried egg on top with runny yoke. Mmmm! I also had bread with it.

[@janethaver3375]

I always have pisto in Seville. I was introduced to it two years ago by my late consuegra and love it

[@resurgem]

Stu did have Pisto a few videos back.

[@Guus-qv2ef]

[@anthonyferris8912]

There’s a oriental food hall in north London with dozens of food stalls selling amazing interesting quality food at similar prices...For me, they’ll always have to be first choice.

[@dasnolonger]

No anchovies in the caesar salad?

[@laf43777]

Nothing like olive oil and vinegar for the salad

[@rappers5719]

Overall, it looked good value.

[@jmarin5539]

Stuart, have you ever tried roasted kid or lamb head? Although it's more common in the south, I think you can find it in Madrid too... they used to serve it whole to the customer, and there are various ways to serve it depending on the region. I recommend trying it someday everything is delicious, from the brains, eyes, tongue, although some customers might find it repulsive. Cheers!

[@KMP0943]

That Cesar salad isn't really a true Cesar salad. I would have been done with just the salad only, but the Argentine Entrana with Chimichurri; more please. I make my own chimichurri. Garlic, Italian parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red chili seed, salt and pepper.

[@superbesther]

This menu of the day in Spain looks like a menu of a weallthy wedding in UK.

[@petek5523]

Food looked decent, good value, buy as a tourist not somewhere I’d seek out but I guess if you live there it’s fine 😊

[@paulstandley600]

[@CFCseventy]

That’s a great meal for little money 👍

[@gwynethbennellick427]

Excellent value. In the UK you would pay that just for the meat course alone.

[@marcusjenkins]

I see this chain is all over Spain. I usually try and avoid shopping centres like the plague, but if I find myself in one at lunchtime, I'll look to see if there's a Casa Carmen around - certainly preferable to McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Popeyes and other horrors from USA.

[@michaeljones3774]

Welsh soup of the day is leek. Originally probably introduced into wales by the Spanish migrants 100s of years ago.

Serving wine in a carafe is brilliant. Try this experiment at home. Open a bottle of wine, pour in a glass then pour more wine into a carafe/pitcher then pour into another glass. Then do a taste test. See what you like best?

Definitely not a Caesar salad. There's normally only crunchy Romaine Lettuce, parmesan cheese, croutons and the dressing in it. But it looked interesting. The fried chicken gave it a fast food salad look though. 😆

Brits could be hit hard in the next few years as the government look to end the state pension for some. In the face of growing financial pressures across the UK, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced significant changes that could directly affect millions of state pension recipients. Following rising costs of living, debates have intensified around the sustainability of the state pension system, with discussions turning to introducing a means test for state pension payments. Currently, the state pension is a universal entitlement, with all individuals who meet the age and National Insurance criteria being eligible. However, there are now serious talks about means testing-an approach that could restrict payments based on income or assets. This could mean the end of the pension for those with a private pension.

[@ElizabethBidinger]

That salad would have filled me up and never would’ve made it the second course, let alone the dessert. In the U.S. we call it salad dressing. Is it “sauce” in Australia? I couldn’t enjoy it with bottled salad dressing, regardless of other great looking ingredients. What a deal on the amount of food and general quality. I wish we had a “Menu Del Dia” here. Chimichurri is Argentinian.

[@JamesSheenOnline]

We can now get Padron Peppers in the UK, but i must admit, I am disappointed by the quality... whatever happened to patron being the Russian roulette of veg? No more hot ones... I noticed this in Spain too while I was on Camino in June and July... what do you think? Are they REALLY importing the patron with less authenticity to Spain as well?
