L’Escaleta is a big surprise. In an off-the-beaten track town near Alcoy in Alicante province, Chefs Ramiro Redrado and cousin Kiko Moya, a combination of experience and youth, along with Ramiro's son, Alberto Redrado-undoubtedly one of the best wine sumilleres I have encountered anywhere and manager one of the best cheese offerings in any restaurant in Spain-have raised L'Escaleta to a benchmark Guía Gourmets guide rating just below Quique Dacosta's El Poblet.
And the lofty esteem in which L'Escaleta is held is well-deserved: The country surroundings, lovely decor, tranquil ambience, assured service, stellar food, sublime wine-food pairings and the cheese offerings make L'Escaleta is one of the best restaurants, not only in Spain, but I dare say, Europe.
Instead of butter, L'Escaleta offers a copper dish
of silky Ibérico ham fat with romero (rosemary).

Bueno esto no para y ahora se ficha -en términos blog'arianos- al gran Gerry Dawe's. Me alegro un montón que gente de cultura aupe a Verema.
Además traducido y todo, vaya yo que tenía ganas de practicar..., -se agradece-. Buenos los comentarios, pero me ha sorprendido esa mesita de quesos, realmente fantásticos. Porque es uno de los grandes productos españoles y del mundo. Bravo por la sumillería a este nivel...
