Valentine's at Rastro

Great food, cool cocktails, everything you need for that special dinner. If you still don't have plans for Valentine's dinner or the weekend, just leave it to Rastro to arrange that perfect date.

Rastro introduces its Valentine Specials, lunch and dinner set menus featuring some of Rastro's signature dishes, starting February 13, 14, and 15.

Rastro offers some of the best tapas in the Burgos Circle area, along with some of the coolest cocktails. And this Valentine's, Rastro pulls out all the stops with their Valentine Specials. 

With Rastro's special Valentine lunch and dinner set menus ranging from P 598 (solo), P 998 (for two) and P 1,898 (for two), you have a variety of choices to make that Valentine lunch or dinner special. Cynthia Nakpil and her staff at Rastro will do the rest.

Start with Rastro's fresh Ensalada, a mix of spinach, pancetta, manchego, and balsamic reduction.

Rastro's homemade Chorizo, perfect when paired with any of Rastro's signature cocktails (tea with a kick, and bubbly with attitude, see more on Rastro's cool new cocktails here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2014/02/rastros-new-cocktailsand-sandwiches.html and http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2013/05/rastro.html).

For mains, choose one from Rastro's set menus for Valentine's, including Pescado ala Parilla, slow baked fillet of sole with dill, olive oil, and spices served with a choice of organic rice or chips. The tender, delicate fillet of sole has a subtle yet rich buttery flavor, punctuated by the dill.

Or Salpicao, grass-fed beef tenderloin sauteed in olive oil and garlic and served with a choice of organic rice or chips. Nothing like tender chunks of beef with garlic. 

Rastro's Tapas Platter, with Croquetta de Chorizo, Tinapa Triangles, Bolita Negra, and Batido de Sardinas, just perfect with another round of cocktails.

Then, there's Rastro's signature mains, like the Paella Catalana, Rastro's house specialty, saffron-infused organic rice with prawns, mussels, clams, squid, organic pork, and Spanish chorizo. Moist and flavorful rice blended with the rich flavors of seafood, pork and chorizo.

Or the Pollo Iberico, free-range chicken marinated in olive il, garlic, and spices, slow-baked for 36 hours with marble potatoes, garlic, and served with organic rice. Grab a piece of the tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken, a piece of garlic and marble potato...perfect.

Rastro's Platter of Oysters, featuring a selection of fresh and baked oysters. Fresca, Pancetta and Florentina oysters, all in one platter.

And for dessert, your options include Rastro's signature Triple Chocolate Silk...

...Tocino del Cielo, or Floating Island. If you like what you see, check out the special packages below:
