Last Sunday, Laeticia, Daphne, Johnna and I got to spend some time in Alabardero‘s kitchen as well as try some of their paellas. We can call this a test run of sorts for Alabardero’s new Sunday paella menu. They have 8 paellas on the menu and we were delighted to try some of them. My favorites were:
- Marinated Chicken and “Gernika” peppers with and Scallions Ali Olli Paella (an excellent combination)
- Pork Cheek, Fresh Vegetable and Manchego Cheese Rice (the pork cheek was luscious and flavorful the rice itself was my favorite of the group)
- Squid Ink Rice with Mussels and Shrimp
We did not try the paella Valenciana or the octopus paella.

We also sampled the tortilla Espanola (which was lighter than the versions I’m used to a quite good), garlic shrimp, and a wonderfully light and flavorful mixed seafood appetizer.
” Taberna del Alabardero will offer Spanish Style Sunday’s for guests looking for a unique experience in the city. We are pleased to present a menu featuring 9 different Paellas offered at $22 per person for Lunch*. Taberna del Alabardero will also open its doors for Sunday Dinner Service for the 1st time in 22 years. ”
