THERE are a few things you should know about La Bandera. For example, that it means ‘the flag’ in Spanish and that its focus on the cuisine of the Canaries makes it unique in Manchester. Oh, and that its starter menu boasts over 25 different tapas.
Most importantly, lunch - available 12-4pm - includes one starter plus a choice of main: from cod with homemade mayonnaise gratin to Iberian pork loin in a traditional Northern Spanish marinade to rice with lobster in a seafood broth. Not only do they taste delicious, La Bandera dishes look the part too. Don’t be surprised to see a scattering of edible flowers or pink salt crystals.
Starters include squid ink croquettes, white bean stew with Spanish black pudding and Moruno chicken escalopes: all inspired by the Canary Islands’ clear waters and subtropical coastline. If you really can’t choose just one (we wouldn’t blame you), why not go for the other lunch option: skip main and opt for three starters instead?
Either way, you’ll enjoy yourself - even more so when there’s a bottle of wine involved...
