We attended this year's "Dine Out Menu With Four Courses & Live Spanish Music" event which took place at the Dageraad Brewery located just 5 mins walk from the Production Way Skytrain station.
It was an unforgettable night of tapas, paella, beer and live music where we felt like we were transported to Spain!
I highly recommend you arrive at the venue at least half an hour before the event so you can grab a beer from the brewery and enjoy their nicely decorated space.
When it was time for the event, we were directed to a big indoor space right next door from the tasting room. As soon as we entered the space, we noticed a beautifully decorated long table that could fit 50 people and a paella cooking station right next to it with chefs hard at work. There was also a band singing live Spanish music, which added to the experience of an authentic Spanish meal.
After we purchased our drinks (beer and wine) for our meals, we sat down just in time for the first course to arrive. The meal started with Spanish Tapas which was a selection of assorted Spanish iberico meats, jamon iberico, anchovy marinated aceituna, marconas and tortilla de patatas (Spanish quiche.) The second course was a hearty Mediterranean Salad. Both of these courses were served family style, and staff were very attentive in refilling them when we were out.
The star of the meal was definitely the Paella Mixta which was made with bomba rice, slow-cooked chicken, red pepper, mushrooms, onions, prawns, tomatoes, garlic, pimenton and house-made seafood stock. The chicken and prawns were cooked perfectly, with the rice tasting heavenly.
Throughout the meal, the owner would walk up and down the long table covering with guests, telling stories about the dishes. It added meaningful context to the experience.
The finale of the meal of the Tarta de Santiago, which is a traditional almond cake from Galicia is made into a tartlet to enjoy. read more
