Hereford Meat on Fire is No1
IN a perfect spot on the seafront in lovely Altea, Hereford Meat on Fire is the number one choice for grilledtoperfection steaks. The restaurant is housed in an old building with many original features (check out the amazing colourful floor tiles), with a cosy indoor dining room and a sunny, spacious terrace, ideal for lunches with family and friends, romantic dinners and all kinds of events and celebrations. The view is out of this world.
This is no run of the mill beachside eatery, but rather the latest passion project of Jesper Hon, founder of an organic Hereford cattle and vegetable farm in Latvia in 2000. Success came from his belief that happy animals produce higher quality, tastier meat, business boomed, and he soon had a farmtotable butcher’s shop in Riga with a kitchen to cook customers’ purchases.
Now in Altea, Jesper has created a menu and an ambience that offers foodies a fabulous eating experience, with great dishes expertly prepared in com fortable surroundings against the magnificent backdrop of the sparkling bay. This new project was born when Jesper fell in love with Al tea and found this charming spot to open his latest Costa Blan ca restaurant (he also has one in Albir).
JESPER HON: Has created a menu that offers a fabulous eating experience.
After some hard work to get the premises up to standard, he found the multinational professional team that now keeps everything running like clockwork and has been open since last summer.
As for the menu, as you might expect, this is a meat lover’s paradise, but with a surf and turf twist. You may not have considered ordering a ribeye steak with prawn cream sauce, but Jesper assures me that it is a taste sensation. The signature dish? That has to be the tomahawk. A meat expert, Jesper buys from Spanish and Argentinian suppliers, and naturally, only the best will do.
And if beef isn’t your thing, there are chicken and fish dishes, salads and sandwiches to please everyone, in fact, Hereford Meat on Fire is a great choice for all kinds of light lunches, sumptuous dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, everyday luxury and special treats.
There is a full range of Spanish and selected New Zealand, Italian and French wines. Wine buffs will be interested to learn that a special winetasting events will take place at the restaurant on Friday February 10, guided by an expert sommelier.
These will be cosy evenings with a small tasting menu and live music.
