TATLER TIPS
The cuisine at Restaurant Tapenade is a curious selection of Spanish, Provençal, Italian, and Moroccan favourites. It's quite difficult to go wrong here because most dishes are very wellexecuted standards. The bistecca alla fiorentina is cooked with just the perfect char and served with sautéed mushrooms, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. Their delicious home-made mustard was just the right condiment. The fresh tagliatelle with mushrooms is the satisfying bowl of pasta you wish you could get at every Italian restaurant. Lastly, the manchego cheesecake and baba al limoncello are as simple and delicious as the rest of the menu.
