I was drawn to Bar Lucia in Potts Point because of their happy hour sangria but l reckon this is my fave Spanish tapas bar. The 18 months Jamon Serrano is silky and delicate and the Jamon Serrano Croquettes have a satisfying crunch with a creamy cheesy filling.
The garlic prawns with white wine and chilli arrive sizzling and are incredibly fragrant. We decide to order all 3 of the skewers which are beautifully presented, there was the Ox tongue with salsa verde, the pork with greek yogurt, pomegranate and parsley and my fave the salmon with tartare sauce, green chillis and dill.
Next was the super juicy chorizo and the sauteed wild mushrooms with aged Manchego cheese. And finally the barbecued octopus is beautifully charred and so tender.
We end with the Crema Catalana with creamy custard in a crisp caramel crust.
