Amidst the busy eatery lane in a fancy area like Bandra Reclamation is a newly opened outlet known by the name El Toro that literally translates to ''The Bull''. The bull symbolizes the famous city of Spain that is also well known for it wonderful cuisine. El Toro has been opened with the very idea to merge the infamous Spanish Tapas and dishes with a touch of Indian flavors to let their patrons enjoy this lovely specialized cuisine. The menu has been set to accommodate their vegetarian and non-vegetarian customers as well.
The evening hours are the best times to visit this classy and elegant outlet. The minimal lighting and the spacious decorated interior makes it all the more an inviting place of fine dining. It was a marvelous culinary experience wherein the Chef briefed us about the dishes we would be having and the idea behind the invention of those dishes. The Chef here, might I quote him '' Loves playing with alcohol'' and hence experiments with countless dishes to serve us the best.
Without further a do, we first started off with :
Roast Chicken and Quinoa Salad with Chia Bean:
Absolute Garden fresh salad consisting of lettuce, chicken slices, chia beans, and herb was a healthy and perfect.
For siders we opted for : Mocktails and we had Red Sun Mocktail, the mixture of orange juice and strawberry blended with soda absolute refreshing.
The Phorbilicious : is that mocktail which you should definitely order. Mango juice perfectly blended with coconut cream and Strawberry juice served with vanilla ice cream of top. Highly Recommended!
Next on to the list was Patata Bravas :
Spicy and crispy potato wedges topped with tangy tomato and sour cream, garnished with finely chopped coriander leaves on top, making it a perfect combination for a Spanish Tapas. Highly Recommended!
Carpaccio of Beet:
Thin beet root slices topped with crumbled feta and peanuts, futher garnished with micro green, something unique to try with.
The pimentos Rellenos con tres quesos.
Again a very highly recommended and a very unique dish served, Indian Jalapenos chilies with cheese stuffing and drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Little spicy and creamy flavor of chilli and cheese made it a lip smacking dish.
From the non vegetarian dishes: we tried Alitas de Pollo,
Chicken wings cooked in a spicy Portuguese sauce that is generally cooked with a whiskey topping. An insanely spicy dish but delicious at the same time. Highly Recommended.
Capellini Aglio Olio:
Fine noodles cooked in olive oil and tossed with basil and garlic and chilli flakes. The main ingredient here is the olive oil and salt. To enjoy every bit of noodles you have to mix it with the oil and the chilli flakes giving it a little spicy flavor. Highly recommended.
Wild Mushroom Risotto:
Creamy Mushroom topped with crispy lotus stem pieces an garnished with micro green, a perfect dish to try with.
Moving to the most favourite part of the meal “The Dessert”.
In the dessert had sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel and white chocolate ice cream amazingly luscious. The dark chocolate mousse, combination of sweet and bitter flavor of dark chocolate and cardamom. This dessert is definitely your palate need to try.
Lastly we had was the baked yoghurt. Baked yoghurt topped with dried strawberry pieces served in an earthen pot. All the dessert served here has its own uniqueness and flavor. One can opt for any one of them.
To sum it up, Our day at El Toro was no less than a journey filled with excitement. The place carries a lovely ambience with top quality European food and down to earth staff, definitely a must visit.
Ever heard of Tapas? A tapa, in Spanish cuisine, is an appetizer, or snack. It may be cold or hot. In select bars in Spain, tapas have evolved into an entire, sophisticated cuisine. The food is served in small portions.
.
My recommendation: Espresso Martini, Hurricane, patata bravas, dark chocolate mousse, strawberry baked yogurt.
Summing up my review:
Ambience: 5/5
Service: 4.5/5
Food : 4.5/5
Overall: 4.5/5
Decent place and decent food.
Was there , really enjoyed the various Tapas preparations. Nice ambience, will definitely visit again .
If you've got a sweet tooth, try their baked yoghurt and sticky toffee pudding!
Best food in town. Great ambience & service.
The best Spanish restaurant
