Our playful riff on the Spanish classic. Creamy potato and carrot salad layered with house-made mayo, crowned with tuna, guindilla peppers, anchovy, and a drizzle of olive brine. Finished with crisp colines for the perfect scoop. Comforting, briny, and a little bit picante.
Tosta del Tío Manuel
Dedicated to our friend Tío Manuel, who first showed Ricardo the magic of pairing octopus with cheese. Our take: rustic rye toast with chipotle aioli, semi-curado goat cheese, sliced pulpo, fresh dill, and a dusting of Spanish pimentón — a gooey, smoky, umami delight.
Tacos Marbellí
Corn tortillas filled with tempura-fried octopus and hake, layered over a crisp cabbage–carrot–kefir slaw. Finished with chives, a smoky chipotle–pimentón sauce, and a side of fresh salsa. A Costa del Sol twist on the Baja classic.

Granizado de Manzanilla
A sunlit Andalusian refresher. Bright lemon zest and a whisper of olive brine are frozen into a savory-citrus granita, then crowned with a pour of crisp Manzanilla sherry. Salty, tangy, and impossibly refreshing — a glass of seaside breeze in cocktail form.
Otoro Nigiri
Indulge in the rich, buttery texture of locally sourced bluefin otoro, delicately layered over hand-formed sushi rice.
