Farah - Review - Barrio de La Latina - Madrid - The Infatuation

"Cozy sofas, vintage chairs, and warm lighting that makes you feel like you're in your favorite minimalist friend's home—welcome to Farah, an intimate restaurant, and the spot for date night. You’ll surround yourself with hip La Latina locals and enjoy the fresh Mediterranean small plates. If you spot massive Albesa tomatoes, low-acidic varieties that grow in the Catalonian countryside, on Farah’s bar counter you absolutely have to order one. While it may feel weird to ask for just a tomato, they come drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, topped with sea salt, and with a robust flavor that’ll leave even anti-vegetable eaters wanting more. The perfect first-date move is ordering the wild sea bass. When the server arrives with a gigantic platter of fish so fresh it feels like it was pulled from the sea moments ago, topped with tahini and capers, you'll know you scored a second date. photo credit: Aslin Castañeda" - Lori Zaino
