if there is one dish that captures the essence of simple, high-quality Mediterranean cooking, it is Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp). While we are known for our deep love of all things truffle, we believe every great meal begins with an appetizer that awakens the senses.Our version of this beloved classic is designed to be a vibrant, aromatic experience from the moment it hits your table.
Why Our Gambas al Ajillo is a Must-Try:
- Premium Prawns: We use large, succulent prawns that are seared to perfection, ensuring they remain juicy and snap with every bite.
- The Garlic Infusion: The secret is in the oil. We slowly infuse high-quality oil with toasted garlic slivers and dried chilies to create a base that is rich, fragrant, and carries just a hint of heat.
- The Perfect Pairing: No Gambas al Ajillo is complete without the bread. We serve ours with thick, char-grilled sourdough, perfect for soaking up every last drop of that liquid gold garlic oil.
- A Zesty Finish: A fresh squeeze of lemon cuts through the richness, balancing the dish and prepping your palate for the main course.
The Best Way to Enjoy It
This dish is the ultimate "social" appetizer. Whether you are enjoying a lively evening on our second floor or a quick, delicious "tapas style" lunch in the heart of District 1 & District 7, these prawns are meant for sharing (though we won't blame you if you want them all to yourself!).
