INDALO
Straightforward food. Plenty of wines. Totally reasonable prices. We think Indalo is doing something special here; and we hope it catches on. Indalo offers 24 wines by the glass, many at ¥35, and there are at least five bottles for ¥170 as well – something that has always been possible here, but rarely attempted. It’s not revolutionary, it’s just honest. So is the food; the house bread comes with three dips, including a delicious red pepper and a sharp, addictive aioli. We tried wonderful medallions of cured pork tenderloin with tomato-smeared rounds of toasted baguette, rich mushroom caps stuffed with Spanish ham and a mix of peppers and breadcrumbs, and greasy Portuguese chorizo. Our meal was capped by a very good seafood paella; the grains of rice were firm and separate, and it was capped with fresh mussels and clams. Indalo, with its casual, brick-layed space and great food and wines will definitely draw us back for more.
