A sizzling cast-iron platter with thick slices of grilled duck, seared to a deep golden-brown and topped with coarse sea salt. Surrounding the meat are roasted shallots glistening in a rich layer of pan juices, creating a rustic and hearty presentation that emphasizes the meat’s tenderness and flavor. A terra-cotta dish filled with sizzling garlic shrimp swimming in bubbling olive oil, speckled with bits of fresh parsley. The shrimp appear plump and juicy, their slight char and vibrant color enhancing the sense of flavor and heat. Two thick, golden pieces of battered cod served on a plain white plate, their crunchy exterior glowing in the sunlight. The drink beside them, a dark soda in a glass branded with “Mahou”, adds a local touch and refreshing contrast to the hearty fried fish. A terracotta plate with a skewer of grilled marinated pork, slightly charred and coated in a vibrant red sauce. Alongside are a few chunky fried potatoes, partially covered in the same sauce, creating a simple yet flavorful presentation. Two wine glasses—one filled with deep red wine, the other with a rosé—set on a light wooden table next to a small bowl of green olives and a few potato chips. The ambient light and casual tapas pairing evoke a relaxed, elegant dining atmosphere. A bakery display case with sugar-dusted pastries filled with chocolate cream, their golden, flaky crusts slightly glossy under the lighting. The neat rows and rich filling peeking through the sides make these treats visually tempting and indulgent.
