I could not wait to go back to this restaurant in Brentwood. Yvonne and Sandi were game to try it, and they were adventurous enough to leave the ordering to me.
We started with the Telèferic Sangria, which they both enjoyed. I ordered the Paella Negra since it takes about 20 minutes to prepare. I wasn't sure if we had the medium or large Paella before, and I wanted to be safe, so I ordered the large.
When I was here last, on Easter Sunday, Gary and Ramon did the ordering, and I loved everything and wanted to replicate that experience. We started with the Ham Croquetas with Iberico ham and aioli. There were 4 of these very crispy balls and flavorful and creamy filling. There was an extra croqueta; Yvonne and Sandi were too shy to eat it and insisted I take it. Well, at this point, I had to graciously indulge in their request. The following food that arrived was the Crispy Artichoke Hearts with a light pistachio foam and red curry. If only all vegetables could come close to that deliciousness.
Then came the Pulpo Telèferic, Galician octopus served with truffle oil and pimentón potato purée. I knew this would mostly be enjoyed by Yvonne and me. Sandi was pressured into trying it and politely agreed it was delicious. Then came the Gambas Al Ajillo; Gulf shrimp, lemon zest, and crispy garlic. This came with 2 pieces of toast. We asked for more toast because that sauce was too good. The bread soaked up all that wonderful sauce!
For the finale, we enjoyed the Paella Negra. This came with 6 large Shrimp. I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful this was. We had some leftovers, which I was so excited about prolonging this euphoric feeling. Our server, Laura, was amiable, and we enjoyed her input. She really did take good care of us.
Both Yvonne and Sandi were pleased and impressed with the food. We skipped dessert. Telèferic Barcelona is located at 1930 San Vicente Blvd. in Los Angeles.
