Inspired by my sister’s recommendation and my love of food, I had decided to go to Spain for the first time in 2017. I was immediately enamored by the vibrant culture and spectacular food. In Madrid, I was able to get bites from different stands in a Mercado and a beer that were no more than a few euros. I saw people enjoying dinner out and about for hours into the late night. When I came back to the US in search of good tapas, many meals were overpriced and so formal it felt inauthentic. Thus the seeds of inspiration for Disfrutar was born.
After going back to Spain to live and travel throughout, I bring back the flavors and style of Spanish Tapas I enjoyed, making for a more casual experience. But being from Boston, there will be a touch of American sensibility.
Disfrutar means to enjoy in Spanish. It is not only about enjoying the food, but also the experience. A pop up to embrace having a bite and enjoying good company.
My love letter to Spain,
