22 Ships
Popular neighbourhood tapas bar 22 Ships underwent a face-lift this spring, and it is now back on Ship Street with a fresh look. The revamped venue is going to take a new culinary direction under the helm of Madrid native chef Antonio Oviedo, offering delectable tapas staying true to the timeless tradition, all served in a buzzy yet relaxed setting.
Presented in a simple yet bold manner, the new 22 Ships menu includes a range of multi-regional tapas, together with quality Chacinas (cold cuts) and Quesos (cheeses). Some of the recommended tapas are Iberico Salchichon Tartare with Avocado Sorbet, Rusa Salad with Uni and Sardines in Ajoblanco Almond soup with Grapes.
Meat lovers can happily share the Roasted Suckling Pig, which was prepared following a traditional recipe and slow-cooked for 24 hours before roasting, resulting juicy and tender meat that falls off the bone easily.
To go with the new food direction, the wine list brings in an array of Spanish grape varieties from different regions. Over 20 labels, of which 90% are Spanish, will be available by the glass, carafe and bottle, allowing diners to explore old and new favourites with no fuss. The tapas bar will continue to offer Sherry lovers its signature selection of expressions, with a house Sherry served from a barrel.
In addition to the wines, there will be a menu of classic Spanish street-social style drinks refreshed with culinary ingredients. Guests can enjoy their choice of brandy, Sherry or vermouth paired with home-made sodas including strawberry & tarragon or tomato & lemon balm. Also on the menu is red and white Sangria topped with a tangy citrus foam, together with a signature house Negroni, where the classic ingredients meet Sherry, chocolate and a dash of wine vinegar.
