CASA VICENTA. Tapas and Liquors.

Casa Vicenta is a tribute to those bars that resist, subsist; those that vindicate their history. An everlasting bar with traditional gastronomy and rogue drinks.

The Concept.

Rooted in the Spanish culture, people go to the bar by inertia.  Casa Vicenta is the neighbourhood bar that has always been there, those bars with the power to transform clients into devotees.

As the drinks go by, the dialogues turn vivacious, spontaneous literal talk, conversations about recent events or subject to philosophize about or even brag. In occasions the secrecy of the bartender is needed.

The servings are enjoyed standing up and tapas are served in a wood board. Cured or smoked, Casa Vicenta proposes a menu of elaborated products with traditional methods and preservation techniques.

The Space.

Tasty portions served as the identity sign of the gastronomic culture of Spain, an assortment of Manchego cheese wedges; Iberic cured ham sliced by hand; anchovies from Cantabria or some ¨Pimentons en Salmorra¨ (Marinated Peppers). An ode to those Spanish regions through the traditional products, cured, matured and preserved like the attributes of the place.

A space with the artistic vision necessary to rebuild the past, redesign the memories and shape the experiences. To be able to recreate this scenery with a historic charm and half of century of history. It requires being distant with the interior design. It requires an artist soul.

To have that capacity of resuscitating materials, to successfully compose a space full of living experiences, like the shelves worn by the use, the marble bar top already opaque and the sinuous shapes of the mosaics marked by so many steps.
