Sambucus - Manlleu

Not sure what Manlieu has to offer as this was a quick stop-over en-route up north just to find good food. A quick search on TripAdvisor found us this little gem off the market-place and we were absolutely delighted. Here I discovered melon soup with serrano ham and have been trying different recipes trying to re-create this little taste of heaven ever since! Hubby had a light pasta and I had a salad main with marinated tomatoes, every bite was more delicious than the next. The staff did not speak one word of English and trying to order in pocket translation-book Spanish was a trial but fun. After lunch take a walk around the local food market to see some rare and interesting local delicacies like bull's testicles!

This innovative restaurant is inside the market in Manlleu. They are cooking what is fresh and in season so everything is good quality. The decor is smart and different, a collection of furniture and lighting that, like the restaurant itself is individual and original. It is a cooperative project and that includes the ethics of inclusion and sensitivity to ecology and sustainability. The staff are friendly and care about the project. As it is a relatively new place I am sure it will go from strength to strength, It is away from the main tourist track, but if you are passing it will reward a stop to sample their delicious dishes.

Sambucus is a restaurant located inside the main market of Manlleu, a town near Vic, in the center of Catalonia. I came here to eat a daily menu, which was very good. I ate green peas cream with pieces of cured sausage as first dish, brewed offal (menuts in Catalan) as second dish, and nougat ice-cream as dessert. Also I drank two glasses of red wine of Montsant which was good. The staff was very friendly with me and really it was a very comfortable place. (see also Museu del Ter and Plaza Fra Bernadi)

Menú ideal. pel preu que pagues menges molt i molt be. recomanable 100%.
