Since Bar Ferdinand uses locally sourced ingredients in their extensive tapas menu, it’s difficult to cover exactly what they are serving day-to-day. Their selections change weekly, reflecting the seasonal availability of local ingredients.
A mainstay of their fantastic menu however, is the special Thursday Tasting offering. Thirteen small, made-for-sharing plates for $35, and for an extra $25, four wines, paired with each of the four courses.
Highlights from previous Thursday Tastings include sea urchin flan, house-made fettuccine with braised pork shoulder, and house-smoked trout sliders with horseradish crème fraiche. Yum!

Bar Ferdinand’s new Thursday Night Tastings is a $35 per person, 13-plate feast (divided into four main courses) that changes weekly to reflect Chef Michael Thomas’ latest innovative interpretations of Spanish fare.
Let me say it again. Thirteen plates of delicious, authentic Spanish food. For just $35. And for an additional $25, a glass of wine can be paired with each of the four multi-plate courses. B-b-b-bonus!
Selections change weekly to reflect what’s seasonally available  all the more reason to come back again and again.
