Casa Español
I have lived in Norwich for several years now and I have yet to try the wonderful Spanish dishes of La Tasca. How do these sound?
Melon galia y jamon serrano – fresh melon slices, topped with Spanish serrano ham, mint and a drizzle of honey dressing
Paella de mariscos – a seafood paella, with king prawns, black tiger prawns, squid, mussels, white fish and white wine, topped with asparagus, artichoke, peppers and lemon wedges
Gambas gabardina – king prawns, in a light and crispy batter, served with roasted garlic mayonnaise and lemon
Pollo con salsa – chicken breast cooked with sliced mushrooms,
in a rich sherry, white wine & cream sauce
Torta de chocolate y avellanas – a rich and indulgent dark chocolate & hazelnut torte
Tarta de manzana – a Spanish-style apple pie, with a sweet almond pastry base, a layer of meringue and a crumble topping
Being pescotarian myself, I can’t wait to try out all the seafood dishes! So which dish appeals to you the most?
I am many things - a life coach, a diversity champion, a freelance writer and translator, a dog lover, a citizen of the world, etc - but never thought of myself as a photographer. Norwich inspires me to capture snapshots of this fine Norman city. Take a trip down Norwich lanes or enjoy a walk in the park with me.

I went there for a meal three years ago. We waited over an hour and a quarter for paella and when it arrived it was burnt. They then told us it was a difficult meal to cook (???) and that we should have ordered in advance. The service was poor and staff rude when we dared complain.
A Spanish restaurant not being able to cook paella is like an Indian Restaurant not cooking Curry properly.
There’s a better Spanish restaurant in the city centre.
