The restaurant is launching a Spanish three-tier afternoon tea set for the first time (HK$198 per person), designed by Executive Chef Victor Caballe Molina, reinterpreting and creating a variety of Spanish classic delicacies. The bottom tier of appetizers includes Spanish padron peppers, roasted tomatoes, Iberico ham with Catalan flatbread, snack skewers with anchovies, Spanish cheese, and chili peppers, Spanish octopus toast, etc.
The middle layer of savory snacks is also very fragrant, and especially suitable for wine pairing. Truffle fried meatballs, Iberian black pig ham fried meatballs, and anchovy croquettes, the top layer of desserts includes Spanish deep-fried ghost with chocolate sauce, caramel custard, Basque cheese cake, the savory food is full of authentic Spanish flavors, more unique than the usual three-tier afternoon tea.
