La Alberca's most creative kitchen holds fast to the town's meat-eating obsession, but does a few riffs along the way, such as the sirloin medallions cooked in a sauce of red wine, raspberries and caviar. A more contemporary look to the dining area and young owners are a nice alternative to the dark, wood-panelled restaurants with grumpy waiters elsewhere.
