La Posada del Caballo Andaluz

Perhaps unfairly, the Caballo Andaluz, a relatively new establishment that’s the member of a small local chain (including nearby Puerta de Sevilla and La Viuda), is going to get a mixed review. The restaurant itself is a pleasant enough space, light and open with a central courtyard and a main dining area to one side, and another upstairs. Our one dish, a huge flamenquin, was very good, and came with a tasty mayonnaise that we ordered more of. If the rest of the menu is as good then this is is certainly up to scratch on the food (it certainly all looked good at neighbouring tables).

But. We arrived early and were seated in the patio area where there was a flamenco guitarist performing. He was actually quite good but I prefer to give my attention to the food and my companions. Also it gave the place a “tourist trap” feel, which was exacerbated when a coachload of elderly Spanish ladies arrived and completely filled the dining area next to us. Nothing against elderly ladies, who in this instance fitted right in with the general ambiance, but between the guitarist, 45 women all chatting at once and the (really loud!) caged singing canaries hanging from the rafters, it was all a bit too much, and we fled after eating our excellent flamenquín.
