Pirata Group, the chaps behind TokyoLima, Pici, Pirata and The Optimist, are giving fans a sneak preview of new concept Meats, which celebrates all things meat, obvs.
The meat bar, set to open next month on Staunton Street, will be popping up at top-drawer Spanish resto The Optimist, serving eager diners a set menu that will preview the carnivorous offerings. Sink your teeth into dishes such as lamb chops rubbed in coffee with homemade South Kentucky barbecue sauce or Iberian Presa – regarded as one of the best cuts of Iberian pork – served in a black garlic and miso butter with a side of crispy pork belly crackling, slow-roasted with Sichuan peppercorns.
