Tramontana opened this week on Curtain Road in Shoreditch. It is the fourth restaurant from Brindisa and it celebrates the cuisine of the Spanish Mediterranean, which includes the Catalan and Levantine Coasts, from northern Catalunya to Almería and the Balearic Islands.
Fresh fish, rice and pasta, along with an exceptional array of Mediterranean vegetables and fruit are strong elements of this cuisine, which are used in the main and tapas menus.
Rice is a speciality of the restaurant and rice dishes are cooked daily from scratch through lunch to dinner at half hour intervals, and a la carte to order. The ringing of a bell tells you that the next batch is ready. Be sure to order ahead because once it’s gone it’s gone.
