While I sit here and contemplate my emormous choices of tapas the waiter. comes over with the chef to personally explain the menu to me. I find this quite odd but then maybe flattering. Given my past chef history this to me seems normal… The chef prepares a special blackfoot pig in banana leaf as one of the specials. The flavors were earthy sweet and spicy all in one bite. Wow. Who knew pigs cheeks could be so damn tasty and I have had my share of them during the years. He also ordered for me the list you see here so who am I to intrude on a chefs recommendation? Been here before and I know better :) Black foot pig croquettes yes I wont say what is in them don’t ask just trust me when I say they are delicious. That red sauce is romanesco and paired well I must say. Very sophisticated tapas here not pretentious. They have the flavor of old world Spain with I would say Danish twist? Organic chicken with pomegranate seeds was actually a bit bland but yes haley you eat the seeds. Not a fan favorite but I know it will get better. The Serrano ham was smooth and fatty. The tomato marmalade was perfect match to cut the fat on top of a toasted crostini. Fois gras with burnt elderberry on smoked crostini topped with chervil. It is a mousse mixed with apples served ice cold and omg smooth texture really nice. Dessert Ho nelly get the phone. Chocolate cake white chocolate parfait and orange mousse hello sing to me baby… orange mousse but white in a spoon with some bizarre herbs yes people I m not a dessert person but thinking I should be :) Shrimp with head on, thank god oh I love not being in the usa. Suck the head yes and taste the spice and fattiness my this is a good prawn. Lamb chop do I say anymore the crust salty and covered with tomato jam and fresh herbs. Imported Goat cheese really good. For those who have been at me casa you know I love chops and these are damn good! End of the day 140 usd for the meal and well worth the price bear in mind I did have a bottle of wine(see pic) Bön appetite :)

Had Tapas with 10 from work and found the atmosphere to be a great place to spend a long dinner to get to know colleagues. We had a fixed menu including a very creative assortment of Tapas. Service was very good. I would give 5 stars, but there was missing attention to the main Steak serving which«well done» and overcooked. Reduce 1 star.
