What happens when you put an accomplished Spanish chef and the Italian owner of Singapore’s best pizzeria together? If this year’s EUROs taught us anything, it’s that Spain won 1-0, and that’s why a Spanish tapas bar is the product of Carlos Montobbio and Antonio Miscellaneo’s most recent partnership. Carlitos is located a few doors away from Miscellaneo’s famous La Bottega, and Carlos’ friendly neighbourhood tapas bar brings 30 of his favourite types of tapas to the menu, plucked from all over Spain. You’ll find all the classics like patatas bravas ($10), Spanish octopus with paprika ($20), and Jamon – a 36-month-aged one no less ($28). There’s also the paella of the day ($26), and a unique list of premium tinned seafood (from $12), a quintessentially Spanish delicacy.
The drinks menu seems like it’s plucked straight out of Barca as well, with red or white Sangria ($18), Estrella Galicia beer ($10), and a must-have: cava ($20).
