The last of the 18 Tapas Magazine T de Oro restaurants that we had yet to visit was the Arrea! restaurant, located in Santa Cruz de Campezo, in the province of Álava. A gastronomic concept developed in the heart of Montaña Alavesa that you must visit.
Arrea!
Edorta Lamo is the spirit of Arrea! He arrives after running A Fuego Negro, a place he directed for 15 years, with a concept of local, rogue and fun pintxos. He now runs a restaurant where his know-how and that of the Alavese territory is the main focus, translated into a type of cuisine that has been recovered: furtive cuisine. All the dishes come from the past, told in dishes that contain game, fish or vegetables. Lamo cooks wisdom with a philosophy deeply rooted in the land. A tribute to the gilda, which is, in this case, with pigeon, the frozen rennet with ‘bread & herbs’, or the ‘fuá’ of brains and patxarán, complete the feast.
