A Delightful Salad – Fennel, Orange & Radish with Citrus Dressing & Fresh Herbs.

A Magnificent Entree - Paella with roasted organic seasonal vegetables, caramelized shallots & garlic, roasted artichoke hearts, caper berries, Spanish green olives and Lemon-Saffron Santo Tomas Bomba Rice.

A Decadent Dessert - Pear Almond Cardamom Tarta w/ crushed pistachios and orange rinds (diary-egg-free, but not gluten-free), which you'll enjoy with Café Bustelo Dark Roast Coffee.

You'll enjoy your exquisite culinary creations with a delicious red wine, the Mas Donis Old Vines 2014, Montsant, Spain, which beautifully complements Spanish Cuisine!
