I really enjoy Spanish food, and tapas in general, but it's often a big challenge to find many vegan options. We'll be serving most of this menu family style, with the exception of the Spicy Catalan Chowder and the Almond Cake for dessert! Feel free to bring a nice cava, albarino, rioja, or sherry to drink with your meal, and we'll keep the food coming! This menu features a lot of bold and fresh flavors, finished off with a sumptuous almond cake with whipped sherry cream. See you then!

The classic tapas dish!
Fried potatoes with sweet pimenton, and fermented thai chiles to give the sauce real depth and heat.
