Casa Lucas takes a sideways glance at traditional Spanish tapas and heads off in a new direction – the foie gras (duck or goose liver) with port and caramelized fruits, for example. There is a range of hot and cold tapas and larger tapas servings. The menu changes regularly as they come up with new ideas, and there’s a good wine list. The tataki tuna, black cannelloni, and the risotto croquettes are highly recommended dishes.
