This review is a little delayed as i have just found the business cards put safely away - so safely I couldn't find them!
We went to Titas as we had a member of the family who knew of it and where it was located,...as we would have had difficulty in finding it ourselves.
It is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff so fabulously beyond the call of customer care and the food absolutely delightful. We went with Paella in mind and were not to be disappointed. On half of the party decided on seafood, and me, a meat one. We were not disappointed. As one of our party rightly said, if you have to have a photograph of your food outside on a pavement "v" board with a member of staff 'worrying' you in, you need to avoid the place. And this one didn't. You asked about the dishes f the day and were fully explained with even the offer of a taste.
I was fascinated by the beer vats some 10 or so metres up the wall at one end of the restaurant and was informed these were filled directly by pipe from the local brewery, which just happened to be my favourite beer tipple, Estrella.
We enjoyed a mixed mezze-style starter, which even though it contained some foods I am personally not fussed on, it was delicious. While the main paella is certainly a feature all over Spain, this was one worth driving for. The fusion of tastes, the lemon, the careful seasoning, the rice cooked with passion and completely oil-less. Boy, what a feast!
There is plenty to chose form on the menu from very traditional local food to fish and steaks for the less adventurous. My advice is to tell the water your likes and ask what dished they have that include it!
The other great thing is that, yes, we went off season, but the place was teeming with locals, young and old, which spoke volumes for the restaurant.
And to finish, one of our party who is a genuine wine expert (as opposed to a wine bore who knows everything while knowing absolutely nothing) was able, while the rest of us enjoyed some local after-dinner spirits) to grab a glass of Clio wine, a speciality of the region which is nigh on impossible to get in the UK.
Verdict. If you are within a 30-mile radius of Titas, visit it! You won't be disappointed (unless you are a burger and chips bore - but even then Titas can oblige!). And for what we steered our way though food and drink wise, not at all expensive.
Oh, and the toilets were spotless too!More
