Meditrina

Beginning in June, popular small plates eatery Meditrina will begin offering a fabulous ‘Endless Tapas Tuesdays’ menu. The entire menu of small plates will be at your disposal for the princely sum of $22 per person. Wait, what, yes, you did read that correctly. Twenty two dollars lets you eat as much of the Meditrina menu as you can sensibly enjoy. Or not so sensibly if you’re me.

See the above picture of the menu for a brief glance at some of the fine dishes available and some of the rules regarding the event; none of which are too onerous mind you – just just don’t try to stuff a handful patatas bravas and mussels in your pockets on the way out the door. That’s my trick and it’s patented.

If you’re new to Meditrina, see below for a couple snaps of the the cuisine and restaurant.
