TATLER SAYS

The entire restaurant spans three storeys in Wan Chai; the ground floor channels the bars of Barcelona— and delivers just as much buzz, serving up a kaleidoscope of innovative cocktails and enticing tapas, while upstairs is reminiscent of an asador or grill restaurant, adding Spanish classics such as suckling pig and lobster sofrito, as well as fine seafood and succulent grilled meats to the mix.

SIGNATURE DISHES

• Juicy lobster rice

• Suckling pig

• Chateaubriand

TATLER TIPS

The Optimistic Hour is The Optimist’s happy hour, featuring intriguing gins that go into its G&T selection, various wine and beer options and both classic and signature cocktails, all at cheery prices.
