A menu which highlights the cuts of the Avileña Negra Ibérica 100% native breed veal, pork products, pulses from Barco de Ávila, the humble but unbeatable 'patatas revolconas con torreznos’ (potato and paprika purée with fried pork belly) and the sweets, represented by the 'Yemas de Santa Teresa’ (egg yolk sweets).
