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 Camillas Churros 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. See you then!
