Spain
Spaniards often refer to their country as “Las Españas” or “The Spains” reflecting a diversity of languages, regions and peoples.
Spain’s cuisine reflects its geographic position, dividing Europe and Africa. We kick off our evening with a tapas selection of
chili seared prawns, sweet potato croquetas and chorizo stuffed mushroom caps. Our meal continues with Pollo al Ajillo, Patatas bravas and salsa verde. We can thank the Mediterranean province for dessert, as crema catalana rounds out the night in true Spanish style.
