I recently visited Lyon Tapas Bar and ordered what I thought would be an appetizer board with Spanish items. As soon as I saw Iberian charcuterie I was in! What I received was extremely disappointing, but even more than that was the identity crisis that...was happening on the app board. The only thing that was truly Spanish was the chorizo, which was a 5 out of 10 at best. Other items were Hungarian salami, sliced apple, pear and Apple chutney, some tasteless chunky pork thing, kalmata olives ( I think) , pickled onions, little toasts and some almonds that were...meh. Not what I was expecting AT ALL. Today we have everything at our finger tips from Spain right here in the city. Sol Farmers supplies to stores and restaurants. They have Iberico ham & chorizo, the best canned mussels, octopus etc...Even Winners carries some of the best olive oil potato chips from Spain, as well as top quality olives. I am not sure if this restaurant is trying to branch out and try other types of cuisine. If this is the case, foods should be paired accordingly. On a positive note, the patas bravas are really good. A little different from the authentic dish, but it works.
