Tapas with Flatbread

The traditional snacks of Spanish cuisine, the original tapas (from the Spanish tapar, "to cover") were pieces of meat or bread used to cover wine glasses between sips. Restauranteurs were quick to notice that the salty tastes of the meat and bread led to more wine sales, and tapas have been a staple ever since. Our appetizer leans to the eastern Mediterranean with a selection of flatbread, hummus, bruschetta and olive tapenade, all perfect companions to a glass of wine or one of our handcrafted German biers.
