Somewhere between appetizers and aboundent meals, you’ll find the culinary kingdom of Petiscos or Tapas. These cocktail snacks typical in Portuguese and Spanish bars are now of growing popularity for some time in North America.

Petiscos and Tapas have captivated the new generation who no longer want traditional meal with entrée, main course and dessert. They opt for the original idea of choosing different cocktail snacks, from the same menu.

This concept was initiated in the Portuguese taverns in order to allow in meeting new people and socialize. Traditionally, to protect the drinks from dust, they used to cover the customer’s glass with a cover, thus allowing the owner to offer cocktail sancks.

Tasca is not certainly a new concept but it is surely a tradition, which is worth to be restored.
