Warm Up With A Few of Our Favorite Winter Menu Items
We always create our menu based on what ingredients are freshest that time of year -- and winter is no exception. These cold months, even if they don’t feel particularly bright outside, still yield warm, bright, savory flavors that we have a lot of culinary fun with. Our inspirations are wide-ranging, and include hints of citrus and ingredients like parsnips, sunchoke, endives, persimmons, and blackberries.
Join us soon and try out a few of our favorites (alongside the drinks that will really bring them to life)...
Confit Duck Leg Cassoulet
One of our most signature dishes, the Confit Duck Leg Cassoulet combines mixed braised beans, fingerling brussel crisps, cured lemon, gremolata, and refogado into a meal as decadent as it is aesthetically pleasing. On the plate, you get the best of both worlds: citrus highlights, but grounded in the earthly tone of the cassoulet

Hindsight: A little hindsight is never a bad thing, but especially this kind. This cocktail is deep, decadent, boozy, bitter and big enough to stand up to a duck confit. With house-infused coffee tequila, allspice dram, and fernet-branca, this cocktail screams winter flavor.
Sea Bass
Even if you don’t have a beach vacation planned over the winter, you can still eat like you do. Our Sea Bass dish comes with creamed leeks, confit sunchoke, parsnip, chestnut, apricot preserves and red endive. The sunchoke and parsnips bring out the savory, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth profile of the fish, while the apricot is a beautiful winter preserve that adds a bright and sweet finish.

Empirical Funk: To maintain the brightness of the Sea Bass dish, let the juniper of the gin and grapefruit of the Aperol shine through this cocktail.
Flourless Chocolate Torte
No winter meal is complete without the dessert to really fill you up. And our Flourless Chocolate Torte is an explosion of flavor sure to satisfy you. The taste of rich, fresh winter fruits add bright and tarte notes, bringing out the slight bitterness of the chocolate.

Our Orin Swift Mute Port wine combines a smooth front with a bountiful, spicy end to form a delicious complement to chocolate.
If you’re looking for even more wines that go excellently with the flavors of our winter menu, make sure to grab tickets for one of our Taste of Spain wine dinners! This year will be a two-night event (each with their own distinctive menus and pairings). A couple that we’ll be featuring that go perfectly with winter flavors are the Biutiful Cava Brut Rose and the Mar de Vinas Albarino.
