La Zaragozana Restaurant (In remodeling)

This restaurant’s origin dates back to its founding in 1830. Some people say that it always had the distinctive cooking style of the Spanish region it was named after ever since they opened up. In those days travelers and coachmen used to step by this restaurant which nowadays draws sustenance from the tradition introduced by one of its earliest owners, José Currais, from Zaragoza. Decorated with neckerchiefs, flags, scarfs and pictures of football players donated by clients, the restaurant has a well-established Spanish cooking tradition and a long history which have earned it the name of First One Ever.(Further reading)
