With house made mato cheese, cracked pepper and olive oil. $1.50
Contigo, San Francisco
This was the perfect little bite! I love anchovies. They’re so salty, fishy, and I love the texture. I don’t think I’ve ever had mato cheese, but it was a very light and creamy cow’s milk cheese.
Wood oven roasted Monterey sardine and avocado with pickled onions and smoked salt. $2.50
Contigo, San Francisco
I know that sardines tend to be super oily and fishy tasting, but this one was especially so. In addition, it was hard to bite through. I love the concept of this, but the sardine was way too overpowering. It was pretty to look at! 🙂

Cured Spanish ham with Warren pears, Valdeon blue cheese, arugula and honey. $13
Contigo, San Francisco
So simple, so delicious! This was such a bright and refreshing starter. There’s not a lot on the plate but every ingredient counts. I love the beautiful pink color of the Spanish ham and the sweet Warren pears paired wonderfully with the salty meat. The arugula and honey drizzle were yummy additions.
Spanish red wines. I don’t think I was very impressed with either of these wines. 😦
