Lilium (Arrecife)
Note: There is space reserved for nonsmokers.
Lilium just moved to Arrecife. The restaurant, led by Orlando Ortega, maintains the line that has been at this restaurant as one of the revelations of the field of gastronomy Lanzarote. José Antonio street in the capital, the new site has gained in currency. Without fanfare and with great simplicity has created an enchanting atmosphere. We call attention to the different shapes and colors of the walls of the classroom, in small little details that intertwine decorative wine world. In this sense, fit the majestic traditional devices, such as the dispensing of wine by the glass, and the pretty arrangement of the elements of the service in the recesses of the rooms. At the gate of welcome rest some cookbooks, which gives a sense of being in your home.
Lilium gastronomic bet unfolds in the incoming and exploit traditional products Lanzarote. A good example is to see how the kitchen playing with chacón to offer chorizo scrambled with onion or as croquettes. While the upset can appreciate the taste of chorizo, reduced its strength thanks to the onion in this dish is imperceptible croquettes, canceled over the banana flavor.
Take advantage of the potatoes from the earth simply combining them with shrimp (see photo at right) or a tuna tacos with sautéed red and wet. Weird chips are also Jare spiral pasta, cream and arugula. Proper treatment is the fried goat cheese with chutney. A safe choice, not for nothing is our preferred skewer is the sweet potato monturrito. Exquisite. The starters are complemented by fried eggs, smoked salmon and, among other proposals, piquillo peppers stuffed with shrimp and cod.
There is a wide range in the main meat. Tenderloins, guts, and T-bone steak bull, chicken, duck and some part of it. May be accompanied by foie gras and port sauce, confit with sweet and sour sauce or grilled. With the exception of the womb, these pieces are missing the strength of its natural flavor. As for fish, Lilium offers daily fresh seasonal pieces. Especially delicious dishes are tuna and tuna belly.
The wine list receives a special effort from home for enrichment. There are over 20 Riojas and Ribera del Duero available. The price is a little above the quality offered. Very curious as to highlight is the provision of wine, in view of the clientele, which nicely complements the decor of the room.
The service is the outstanding. Atentísimos and very pleasant. A point clearly be improved is the waiting time once selected dishes of starters and between them and the main menu. The pastry is varied and correct.
