Lunch at La Nacional
Posted by daisy on 31 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Daisy, Restaurants
The last time I went to this gem in the rough, was during a “B” roll shoot about three years ago. I’m not sure if it’s because that whole period is somewhat of a blur to me, but I didn’t remember the food…that is, until Migui and I passed it the other day, and made a point of a return visit. Founded in 1868 and home to the Spanish Benevolent Society, La Nacional is a cozy, rustic, yet charming restaurant/club that you could easily walk right past. This past Monday, Migui and I decided to brave the elements, and make the pilgrimage.
The dining room is softly lit with autographed prints of matadors and such on the walls. We decided to order up some nice warm soup to help ward off the chill of the day. I ordered the Sopa de Ajo (garlic soup), and Migs ordered the Caldo Gallego because she wanted to see if it was as good as her mom’s.
