Spanish cuisine is indelibly marked by hundreds of years of intimate cultural interaction with the Moors of Arabic North Africa. So it should come as no surprize that Spanish tapas merge effortlessly with Middle Eastern mezze. Chef Mary Freij, the talent behind The Depanneur’s popular Mazeh Brunch, presents an exciting selection of small sharing plates, a tasty night where Spanish food meets Lebanese flavours.
