Inspired by the Catalan cuisine of Spain, the chefs at NIU Kitchen create a type of tapas all their own. They pull from classic cuisine, but put a contemporary spin on everything that comes from the modern kitchen. So if you're craving something slightly unusual, and you've rounded up an entire group to chow down, head to NIU Kitchen for inventive tapas.
The Ous small plate comes highly recommended, piled with poached eggs, jamon Iberico, summer black truffles, and the ever-popular truffled potato foam. Locals also like the wahoo tartare with cucumber, lime zest, and scallions. Steak tartare with a fried egg, Maine lobster with avocado and trout roe, and Catalan-style rice with seafood are also on the list of small plates. If you prefer your own full-sized dish, order the grilled NY strip steak in a rosemary vinaigrette or the baby back ribs with romesco sauce. Wash down your meal with a glass of robust red wine.
