Amuse-bouche
Galleta con jamon serrano – This tiny yet tantalizing starter combines a crunchy rice cracker with the richness of hummus, the savory delight of serrano ham, and the refreshing notes of mint yogurt sauce. The mint leaves add a burst of freshness, making it the perfect opening act for what’s to come.
Plateadas
Costilla iberico – Prepare to be amazed by the succulent Iberico ribs finger, enveloped in a delicate breadcrumb coating. The combination of breaded oat, seaweed, pork floss, and tzatziki sauce creates a symphony of textures and flavors that will have your taste buds dancing.
Deslizadores De Gambas – These prawn sliders are a culinary delight. A crispy fried wantan skin encases the tender sea prawn, while the gherkin, pickled shallot, and sriracha mayo bring a delightful tangy kick. Lime zest adds the perfect citrusy zing, making each bite an explosion of taste.
Almejas a la marinera y chorizo – Clams bathed in white wine, garlic, and tomato, and accompanied by chorizo and coriander, provide a delightful blend of flavors. The rich, briny essence of the sea is perfectly balanced with the spicy and smoky chorizo, creating a mouthwatering dish.
Pera con jamon serrano – This tapas masterpiece features pickled pear paired with serrano ham and blue cheese, all atop a bed of arugula. The sweet and tangy pear, combined with the saltiness of the ham and the creaminess of the blue cheese, is a flavor profile that’s simply out of this world.
Palate Cleanser
Lime basil granita – Before moving on to the main courses, indulge in a refreshing palate cleanser. The lime basil granita, infused with mint leaves and lime juice, offers a delightful, cooling interlude that prepares your taste buds for the culinary delights that await.
