This inviting wine bar and restaurant invites food lovers to indulge in thoughtfully curated dishes that balance authenticity with innovation, creating a lively yet approachable dining experience.
Starters to Ignite Your Appetite
Begin your meal with a selection of exquisite starters that showcase the vibrant flavors and textures of Spain. The Croquetas de Jamón y Manchego delivers a crispy exterior with a creamy bechamel filling infused with rich jamón and nutty Manchego cheese. For a coastal touch, the Tosta de Almejas offers a delightful blend of tender clams, aromatic fennel, and sofrito atop toasted sourdough bread. Don't miss the iconic Patatas Bravas , perfectly seasoned potatoes bathed in a smoky tomato sauce spiced with pimentón, a true classic with a twist. For a simple yet bold bite, the Gildas —a combination of anchovies, pickled peppers, and olives—captures the essence of Spanish pintxos culture.
Main Courses Crafted with Flair
The mains at Bar Siesta celebrate regional Spanish specialties with a fresh and balanced approach. The Gambas a la Parilla features succulent shrimp grilled to perfection with fragrant olive oil, garlic, and a sprinkle of black salt. For lovers of hearty flavors, Pincho Moruno de Cordero offers tender lamb loin skewers enhanced by a vibrant mojo verde sauce inspired by the Canary Islands. Enjoy a comforting plate of Morcilla con Lentejas a la Sidra , where rich blood sausage melds beautifully with earthy Pardina lentils, sweet Cuyama apples, and a splash of Asturian cider. The classic Tortilla Española comes served with a creamy aioli, showcasing the perfect balance of Weiser potatoes and piquillo peppers. Complement these with the Pan con Tomate , warm focaccia bread topped with Beylik tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and sea salt. For a refreshing finish, the Ensalada Verde blends crisp salanova lettuce, fennel, and a smoky pimentón vinaigrette.
Desserts to Delight Your Senses
End your meal on a refined note with Bar Siesta's signature dessert, the Olive Oil Ice Cream . This silky treat masterfully balances the fruity richness of olive oil with hints of vanilla and the subtle sweetness of egg yolks, offering a uniquely indulgent experience.
