Sample Tapas Menu
This style of “small offerings” are similar to those found in bistros, trattorias and tapas bars throughout Europe. Tapas encourages customers to sample, share and discover a variety of foods within a more casual, communal setting while sipping a cocktail or glass of wine. The menu is continually updated to reflect the season and priced so that customers feel free to try new things.
“…these little foods are important in a culinary experience not so much that they ‘open the appetite’ but that they are a reassuring affirmation that the guests are in the caring hands of a good cook who wants them to be happy with the expectation of even greater things to come. These little foods are both a preview and an end in themselves…” (Little Foods of the Mediterranean, Clifford A. Wright).
