Located in old town Pasadena, this cleverly named, charming Spanish-style tapas bar is just the ticket for an after-work wind-down or a light dinner. High ceilings with exposed brick walls, tall mirrors and hanging lamps provide, a comfortable ambiance to share a meal with friends or family. The bar features tall red-topped stools where a quick cocktail and tapas plate can be had.
Chef Josef Centeno of Lot 1 fame helped craft the menu, which now includes Catalan-inspired dishes such as charred Padrón peppers with Spanish sea salt and a version of pan con tomate (toasted bread rubbed with garlic and tomato, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt). Sandwiches, soups and salads are offered for lunch, and a dinner menu is also available for those who want a bigger plate than your average tapas plate. Choose from Tasmanian ocean trout, butter poached prawns and roast duck breast with beluga lentils, anise spiced pear and sweet-sour strawberries.
