Mullet Meals 12/07/2010

The outside...Very trendy!

The inside...Very Swanky!

The clara...Very tasty!

Unassumingly sitting in the Quadrat d'or, on calle valencia, there lies an obviously trendy restaurant named 'mulet' which is french for 'Mullet'. This might be cute if it somehow tied in to the theme of the restuarant - a duochromatic black/white color scheme that mixed together the feel of a small french restaurant - small wooden chairs, plenty of tables for two, with a slight dash of retro to appease the crowd that it inevitably attracts with a name like 'mulet', but it doesn't, so I couldn't help but be disappointed when not a single person on the wait-staff had a mullet.

I went in the afternoon for a drink, and was surprised that at such a swanky little outfit you could get drinks starting at 2 euros. My clara (4/5's beer mixed with 1/5 lemonade - nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day!) was only 2.50, and it was a very generous size. The service was surprisingly good, it wasn't too crowded, but, when I asked about coming back for dinner things suddenly got complicated - today, they had an event, tomorrow they were closed for untold reasons, and the bartender working there seemed unsure of the hours, but what he 'thinks' is that the restaurant is open until 12 but the kitchen closes at 11:30. I would love to go back - you can get a three course meal there for under 15 Euros, and if the pictures out front and on the website aren't misleading, the food looks like it will be served gormet style - which is to say there will probably be a lot more style than substance!
