🥩 My first gastronomic stop in Granada had to be a steakhouse.
I visited Contrapunto, right in the heart of Granada, to enjoy an experience where the meat, the quality of the ingredients and the service took centre stage.
We started with anchovy, goat's cheese and pomegranate toasts, followed by some outstanding Iberian ham croquettes: a thin, perfectly crisp coating, not greasy at all, and a béchamel with an intense ham flavour that lingered on the palate.
Next came a surprise from the house: approximately 400 g of Galician beef, dry-aged for 72 days. Meat with an extraordinary texture and a very well-balanced ageing profile, without the excessive intensity that we sometimes find in beef aged for such long periods.
But the main course was an approximately 800 g Jersey cow steak, served rare and cooked to perfection. A cut of meat we thoroughly enjoyed.
To finish, baklava and a chocolate creation presented in small quenelles, accompanied by mint and biscuit. An unusual touch that also deserves a mention.
And if there's one thing I want to highlight, apart from the food, it's the service: professional, welcoming and attentive throughout the entire experience.
💬 My personal verdict: A very satisfying experience, offering reasonable value for money considering the quality of the products and, above all, the level of service.
