The annual BA Foodweek is from April 11- 24 and there will be 60 restaurants participating. The preliminary indication is that the price for a 3 course lunch will be 220 pesos.

We will start with an aperitif of draft cider or beer followed by a three course lunch menu. The first and second courses will both be accompanied by wine, either a Chardonnay or their Malbec. Each of the courses offers three options. Recently the appetizer choices were patatas bravas, fried calamari rolls or a salad with rabbit escabeche. Principal choices were fish of the day, ox-tail reduction on a bed of mashed potatoes, or Iberico (pork). For dessert you only need to know about creme Catalan (Spanish version of creme brulee). Choices vary slightly depending on availability of ingredients.
Please note that the menu does not include water or coffee. If you order either it will be an additional 40 pesos per. Tap water will be available on the table.Our price will be 240 pesos which is only slightly more than the cost of two glasses of wine these days!

There are two other smaller restaurants very near La Conga so make sure you check the name and address!
With the hot weather upon us traditional wisdom says you should have something hot to cool you down? I know this works for liquids but I am not sure if spicy food might do the same. Well, here is our opportunity to experiment. All of the dishes can be order without spice if you desire.
