Verd i Vent Restaurant, Masserof, Jalon

It is a delightful experience to drive into the Jalon valley to the Verd i Vent Restaurant in Partida Masserof, which is close to the village of Xaló / Jalon and a scenic drive which takes approximately 40 minutes from Javea / Xabia.

Once you are seated with earthen ware jugs of red wine already placed on the table, we were presented with bowls of a potato dish, mixed with lavender, chives and herbs, plus large loaves of freshly baked bread. Next we were presented with two large serving bowls of a creamy white soup, that had us all guessing what the ingredients were, it was delicious and we were told that the main ingredient was lettuce! Interesting!!

A short break and plates of oil covered tomatoes and mozzarella cheese were placed on the table. The main course was a choice of lamb on the bone with a moscatel sauce or venison in a red wine sauce. Nine of us chose the venison and it was fantastic. The lamb was also excellent. The sound of guitars and singing filled the air and the popular brothers, from the area, sang and played our favourite Spanish melodies.

The whole day was a wonderful experience, a delightful meal and one that we shall remember for the rest of our lives, or at least until the next time we visit Verd i Vent.
