El Camino at Letra House
This underground Spanish wine bar wants to take you on a culinary journey through the many regions and flavours of Spain.
Overview
Underground Spanish wine bar Letra House is gearing up to lead you on an epic journey through the many flavours of Spain's many regions. Launching on Monday, May 5, this quarterly event — dubbed El Camino — will see a series of collaborations with chefs, producers and suppliers take over the venue for one night only.
First cab off the rank is Guillermo Rabago, the man behind Mate in Spain, which brings gourmet Spanish produce to Australian restaurants, bars and shops. Letra House's Head Chef, Brandon Jones (ex-La Salut), has drawn inspiration from his range to create a bunch of delicious share plates.
Look out for Spanish classics, like La Brujula mussels escabeche with chips and Ubidea guindillas, and La Mar de Tazones spider crab tartlet with green garlic. Also on the list is a new take on Jones's socarrat with Güeyu Mar squid ink, Conservas Eutimio kokotxas (hake cheeks), pilpil and salsa verde. Then, heading up the dessert list is pantxineta — a Basque-influenced custard slice — with turron ice cream.
If you can't make this one — or can, and can't wait to do it all again — then keep your eyes peeled for details of the second edition. Happening in August, it'll bring Barcelona-born Frank Camorra all the way from Melbourne's MoVida to Letra House for an evening dedicated to Andalucia.
