There are several things that instantly win me over when it comes to dessert .... Warm custards, hot puddings, caramel, milk ice-cream, anything with a lick of salt that borders on the savory line of sweet ... When all of these aspects come together in the one dessert - I'm in heaven! We found a fine example of this at Atari in San Sebastian. Warm brioche with caramel apples & a salted milk ice-cream. There was a sprig of thyme resting on the ice-cream, which perfumed each mouthful with a earthy & herbaceous aroma and the reduction of jerez elevating the sweet & sticky characters of our glass of PX.
We did stop by on several other occasions for some pintxos & bar snacks, but kept gravitating back towards this delightful dessert with a glass of PX to finish the evening, sometimes mixing it up with a Blue de Basque that came with a quince paste & vanilla puree.
Lucky we were staying close by ....

Hey Kat, come back to est. for our Pain perdu, toasted oats, vanilla apple and malted barley ice cream.
Or maybe just dream about it, sigh, and then keep posting about your (jealous)international foodie lifestyle......alex
mmm, the pain perdu at est. was also something else ... have fond memories of that. The new one with toasted oats & malted barley ice-cream sounds divine !!
