"It doesn’t get more traditionally Spanish than tapas and vermouth, and Arola offers a great introduction to both. Reserve a table on the breezy terrace—with views of the ocean and Frank Gehry’s iconic fish sculpture—and prepare to while away a Sunday afternoon enjoying chef Sergi Arola’s signature SVT menu:Sunday Vermouth & Tapas. Things kick off, naturally, with a vermouth cocktail; here it’s served in an adorable miniature soda bottle with a tiny straw. A whirlwind of classic Spanish dishes follow: patatas bravas , marinated sardines, fideuà (a traditional dish of seafood atop noodles), paella (teeming with shellfish), and a whole sea bass cooked in salt. The 10-course menu, plus desserts and cheeses, is a steal at 60 euros (about $67), and you’re guaranteed not to be hungry for dinner."
