AURA

Dinner over the river

One week ago I was probably the luckiest girlfriend on earth - or at least one of them... I guess... Or let's just say my boyfriend proved me once again I am right to love him [as if we could choose this kinda things]. Anyway, to make a long story short, he invited me to the restaurant for our anniversary dinner to the AURA restaurant in Zaragoza.

It was a tuesday night (there was almost just us in the restaurant), so it was very quiet and cozy; soft lighting and candles, white tableclothes, and a magic view of the Ebro river and the cathedral "Nuestra Señora del Pilar" just next to it, standing out the night with its illuminated roofs and towers.

We chose the "Gastro Menu" made by a successful chef and the different wines that came with the Menu. Every dish was delicious and the mix of flavors was very subtle.

I didn't take pictures because I really wanted to enjoy the moment and I thought it was rude to bring out my camera 8 times a meal...

We had 8 light dishes (if my memories are good), with original presentations, very tasty products and spanish wines to go with. A good way to discover more about the spanish regions and wine-growing.

We had a really great time there, and the waiter took very good care of us, always here if we needed him, and distant enough to let us privacy.

The first picture is puff pastry caramelized with foie, the second one tooking on the appearence of a fried egg is actually a fish carpaccio with pumpkin. And the third one is one of the two desserts we had. Very fine and delicious.
