100 Montaditos

Today my friends Emma, Celine, Nikolle and I ventured to a new restaurant. It was called 100 Montaditos. Now, I had never heard of a "montadito" nor did I know there was an entire restaurant dedicated to them. So lets get food educated!

Montadito - is a typical element of the Spanish culture and gastronomy. Is a unique tapa-sized bread roll produced with an exclusive bread formula and filled with the best high quality ingredients.

The restaurant, so appropriately named, offered 100 different montaditos  all ranging in price from $1.00 to $2.50. Not bad right? The sandwiches are about 4 inches in length and filled with a variety of ingredients. For example, a few we ordered today were; pulled pork and guacamole, salmon with cream cheese and arugula, and iberico ham with mozzarella, tomato and pesto.

 These were my montaditos. The special bread formula is imported in from Spain, and the bread is toasted with the company's logo. (not visible in photo)
 As well as 100 montaditos, the restaurant also offers platters. This one is Iberico Ham, Manchego cheese, and green olives.
On Sundays, platters are buy one get one free! So as our second platter we chose fried calamari with a tomato sauce, and an aoli. Both were delicious.

Of course, as I want to give all opportunity to the people, places, and things I discuss in my blogs, websites are posted in my "Friendly Mentions" section of my blog on the lower right hand side. Check it out and see if one will be in an area near you soon.
