King Felipe VI has passed through Zaragoza on a “personal visit” to meet Princess Leonor. Taking advantage of her stay, he ate at a restaurant in the Aragonese capital, Tajo Bajo, a place specialized in Aragonese food with a contemporary touch in the central Plaza del Pilar.
The monarch spent the evening with about 30 people, around 2:30 p.m., among whom were colleagues from the Navy and their respective wives. The diners opted for a closed menu.
As confirmed by chef Rubén Martín to the Heraldo, they ate borage croquette, beef jerky with Patamulo cheese, gyozas with lamb from Aragon, creamy boletus rice, fried artichokes and pork rind.
To accompany the meal they had Somontano wine and the king’s favorite snack turned out to be “tataki baturro“, made with beef from the Pyrenees. For dessert, they had French toast with almond brittle ice cream. Finally, the king took a photo with the staff who attended to him that afternoon and whose image they later shared on their social networks.
The place, in addition to the interior, consists of a gastro-terrace. In the restaurant it is common to order ” tapas and meat dishes to share “, made with “quality products” and “from Aragon”, accompanied by a selection of “Aragonese wines”, as reflected on their website.
The restaurant is part of the Vaquer group, which has been working in the hospitality industry in Aragon for more than half a century. It is the third generation dedicated to this business, which already runs La Flor de Lis, Español, and Santiago, in addition to Tajo Bajo.
