La Salut Turns One Tapas Party

Overview

A go-to for Spanish wine and some of Sydney's best bar snacks, La Salut has carved itself a name in this city's bustling hospitality scene in just one year. Arriving in Redfern late in 2021 from the Love Tilly Group — which is also behind Sydney favourites like Ragazzi, Dear Sainte Eloise and the titular Love, Tilly Devine — La Salut is throwing a tapas and vermouth party to celebrate the success of its first 12 months.

For the celebrations, the sleek Redfern bar is taking the decisions out of your meal, offering up a set menu of ten of the best and most popular tapas dishes from the past 365 days. You'll be able to tuck into the venue's take on Jatz with anchovy and manchego, plus fried quail with quince aioli, sea urchin prawn toast, caviar-topped eggs and two types of pinchos — pork neck and salmon belly. Concluding the feast will be a classic Catalonian dessert, a crema Catalan tart, accompanied by jammy figs and creme fraiche.

La Salut's Restaurant Manager Nadia Verduci will be on-site to offer diners a complimentary tasting of MutVer Vermut, a special vermouth infused with wild-foraged New South Wales botanicals created by Love Tilly Group Co-Founder Nate Hatewell with help from some of his winemaker friends. This specially made wine will be served with a soda on the side and anchovy-stuffed olives in the glass.

Reservations at the tapas party include this vermouth tasting and the full slate of tapas, setting each guest back $120. Once you're enjoying your sea urchin and fried quail, you can also add a glass or bottle of wine from the 200-strong list that La Salut boasts.

Each seating will last two hours, with bookings available between 12–4pm on the day. Reservations can be made through the La Salut website.
