About

Achuri, a block behind the Palace of Congress in the historic district, is one of the best-loved restaurants in this old port city. It's been in the same family for half a century, earning a fine reputation. The interior is in a typical Mediterranean port style, with white stucco walls adorned with paintings interspersed with windows letting in plenty of sunshine. The menu includes fresh anchovies in virgin olive oil with a green leaf salad, merluza al achuri (hake casserole with green asparagus sauce), and pardo al brandy (red snapper in brandy sauce). Another excellent dish is bacalao en rosa verde (salt cod in tomato-and-vegetable sauce). Desserts include lemon mousse or tocinillo de cielo (a hearty regional pudding).
