Lunch, dinner
You'll smell the mouth-watering aroma of paella even before
you see the European-style café surrounded by the upscale
boutiques of Palm Passage. Authentic Spanish cuisine is
served in small dining rooms with aged stone walls,
terracotta tiles and original artwork. There are a dozen ta-
bles on the patio, set apart from the shoppers by green
plants and a wrought iron fence. Tapas (change daily) are
great starters. Fried calamari, garlic shrimp, Spanish sau-
sage and clams in a tangy green sauce are served often. The
paella Valenciana and
zarzuela de mariscos
(Spanish sea-
food stew) are big enough to share. If you don't want rice, try
the
salpicon de mariscos
(assorted seafood vinaigrette),
which has the same shellfish in broth.
Homemade desserts include crême brulée and caramel flan.
Spanish wines and sangria are the most popular drinks.
Lunch 11 am-3 pm and dinner 6-11 pm. Closed Sun. Park on
the Waterfront near Palm Passage.
