007 Related restaurant: Casa Lucio

CASA LUCIO

Location: Madrid, Spain
Address: Calle Cava Baja 35
Bond connectionPierce Brosnan ate here years ago
Visited by 007 Travelers: July 2017



Casa Lucio remains in the location that once was home to the hundred-year old Mesón El Segoviano, a magnificent restaurant where Lucio Blázquez began to work at the age of 12.

Lucio Blázquez was born in Serranillos (Avila), on 12th February 1933. When he turned 12 he came with his father to Madrid and began working at the “Meson del Segoviano” with the owner, Dona Petra, who loved him like a son. She was who, many years later, would sell the restaurant to Lucio. Already then, at such a young age, his skills with people were noticeable; he showed his interest in the work, and he also transmitted his joy to customers, who already gave him good tips. Many of those customers were students by then, but they’re now important figures in the social life of the country, regulars of Casa Lucio, and friends at the same time.


007 Travelers met Mr. Lucio who is a true legend. He gave us his autograph and we took a photo with him.

We had wonderful lunch which included chicken "Pollo Ajillo 1/2" and meat balls "Albondigas" with red wine "Copa Vino" and desserts ice cream "Helado Variado". 

Restaurant staff were really helpful and friendly and showed us the table where Mr. Brosnan ate years ago and also showed us Bollinger bottle with 007 logo

Bollinger (French pronunciation: ​[bɔ.lɛ̃.ʒe]) is a Champagne house, a producer of sparkling wines from the Champagne region of France. They produce several labels of Champagne under the Bollinger name, including the vintage Vieilles Vignes Françaises, Grande Année and R.D. as well as the non-vintage Special Cuvée.

007 Travelersin raportti Bollinger Spectre 007-illalliselta August von Trappe-ravintolassa


Mikä: Bollinger Spectre 007-illallinen
Missä: August von Trappe - Belgian Bistro & Bar, Verkatehtaankatu 2, Tampere
Milloin: Perjantaina 30.10. 2015



007 Travelers osallistui tälle illalliselle "SPECTRE" (2015) -elokuvan virallisena Suomen ensi-iltana.

Kiitos ravintolapäällikkö Riina Nissinen ja kaikki upeat henkilöt August von Trappe -ravintolassa.


Kun saavuimme Tampereelle, kirjauduimme sisään hotelli Cumulukseen, joka on lähellä ravintola August von Trappea ja kaikki Tampereelle majoittuvat voivat varata tämän hotellin sen loistavan sijainnin perusteella.






Pirita / 007 Travelers

Pian huomasimme tämän valkoisen Aston Martinin ravintolan edustalla.







August von Trappen henkilökunta toivotti meidät tervetulleeksi ja piti hyvää huolta meistä.

Heillä oli meille erityinen pöytä, ja palvelu oli ystävällistä, nopeaa ja ensiluokkaista. Joka pöydällä oli pelikortteja Bond-teeman mukaisesti.




Tämä Maestro Hans Välimäen omistama ravintola on oikein tunnelmallinen ja sisustettu hyvällä maulla, se on kaunis, ja kuulimme siellä illan aikana Bond-teemakappaleita.










Kokit ja muu keittiöhenkilökunta olivat kiireisiä ja ahkeria ja tekivät hyvää työtä Bollinger Spectre 007 -illallismenun kanssa.





Ensin nautimme 2 lasia Bollinger-shampanjaa. lasillinen molemmille (a´35 EUR) ja se oli erinomaista. Koko pullon hinta on 209 EUR. Myöhemmin ruuan kanssa joimme punaviiniä sekä vettä.













Pirita & Mika / 007 Travelers



Menu (70 EUR) koostui seuraavista annoksista:




Ensin saimme osterikeittoa ja se oli ehdottoman herkullista!





Seuraavaksi oli vuorossa munakokkelia, mätiä ja tryffeliä, fantastista!



Tämän jälkeen saimme kalaa, piikkikampelaa ja Lillet-kastiketta, ja Lillet on tietenkin ainesosa Vesper Martinissa.




Ennen seuraavaa ruokalajia saimme Martinin syötävänä versiona Kuinka siistiä! Wow!






Pääruuaksi söimme suomalaista grillattua karitsaa herneiden kera ja se oli maukasta ja erittäin hyvää!





Lopuksi saimme jälkiruuan, joka oli erittäin raikas Mille Feuille, se oli mahtavaa!






Illallisen aikana näimme tamperelaisia näyttelijöitä pukeutuneena Bond-tyyliin. Ryhmä on nimeltään Ark(k)ityypit ja tämä oli heidän ensimmäinen virallinen esiintymisensä tässä muodossa. He juttelivat ruokailijoiden kanssa ja se oli mukavaa.



Vasemmalta oikealle:
Anni Sillankorva eli Severine ("007 Skyfall", 2012), Sanni Lehto eli Madeleine Swann ("007 SPECTRE", 2015)
Siri Saarilehti eli Pussy Galore ("007 ja kultasormi", 1964), Arvo Jean-Michael Saarinen eli Raoul Silva ("007 Skyfall", 2012)

Kiitos tästä hienosta illasta, 007 Travelers suosittelee August von Trappea kaikille.
