Join Slow Food London and Miguel Leal of speciality wine importers Casa Leal to explore Petiscos – the Portuguese refinement of tapas - with wine at the Dispensary, a superb converted Victorian hospital in Aldgate on Tuesday 9 March.
Slow Food enthusiasts will be in for a real treat with a menu of eight Petiscos with eight Decanter-award-winning wines from Casa Leal, Britain’s leading Portuguese wine supplier. Miguel Leal, Casa Leal’s proprietor and acknowledged connoisseur, will guide the evening.
The Pesticos will be prepared by Dave Cambridge, the chef proprietor of the Dispensary and former private chef to the Rothschild Family. Unfortunately there are no vegetarian alternatives as it is not operationally feasible, and culturally inauthentic.
