Review: Taberna del Alabardero

Taberna del Alabardero must be doing something right to have stayed open for 21 years in Washington. 

Emily and I were treated to a long and traditional Spanish lunch and we enjoyed every minute of it.   

This was my first time dining at Taberna del Alabardero and I delighted in the culinary talents of their new chef, Javier Romero.  He was born in Madrid and began cooking at the age of 16.

I walked in not knowing what to expect and I found the atmosphere and design to be reminiscent of the traditional style of Old World Spain, an atmosphere that is unique in DC.
