FOC RESTAURANT

This tapas joint serves up classic Catalan dishes, cooked with modern techniques to bring out the best in every ingredient. It’s also a fun place, so you’ll find unique interpretations of time-honoured Spanish fare on the menu. Foc means “fire” in Catalan, so most of the signatures are cooked using the Josper grill. The Galician-style octopus is one, where the tentacles are slow-cooked and charcoalgrilled for a tender, smoky finish. Croquetas come highly recommended; you’ll understand why once you bite into the crunchy shell to release the flavourful filling—choose from ham, mushroom or chicken. With an award-winning mixologist helming the bar, it’s a given that the cocktails here are exceptional.
