It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years. Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes, and is enriched by the great tastes imported from the rest of

Found finally an authentic delicious Spanish restaurant. The bonus is it’s just next door to where I live. A very good addition to my list of favourite authentic restaurants. Maria and the whole staff are friendly on my first visit. Imagine being a regular patron which I absolutely intend to. Ambiance and crowd that night were very decent and encouraging for a return visit. Great job El Portòn. See you soon
