Beyond the basic anchovy and olive, this platter features creative versions with smoked eel, marinated salmon, and blue cheese-stuffed olives. It's designed to showcase how different salty fats interact with the acidity of the vermouth.
Tips from diners
The one with the smoked eel and raspberry reduction is a revelation. Order it separately if you don't want the whole platter.
The signature experience at Las Vermudas. A flight of four premium vermouths representing different categories (White, Red, Reserva, and International). It comes with a small guide explaining the botanicals and origins of each, making it both a delicious and informative experience.
Tips from diners
Start with the dry white and move to the heavy reserva. They provide small crackers to cleanse the palate between each one.
Toasted sourdough bread is rubbed with garlic and topped with Mediterranean tuna that has been marinated in white vermouth and fresh dill. It's a light, refreshing tapa with a clean finish.
Tips from diners
The dill is very fresh and works perfectly with the acidity of the marinated tuna. Great with a glass of dry white vermouth.
Replacing the usual coffee liqueur with a highly concentrated, spicy red vermouth. It results in a martini that is less sweet but much more aromatic, with notes of clove and orange that complement the dark coffee.
Tips from diners
It's the perfect way to end the evening. The vermouth gives it a much more complex 'holiday' flavor than a standard espresso martini.
Melted Italian provolone cheese is baked in a clay dish and finished with a unique reduction of the bar's own red vermouth, which adds a complex herbal sweetness that cuts through the richness of the cheese.
Tips from diners
The vermouth reduction makes it taste very different from a standard provolone. Highly recommended for sharing.
Las Vermudas is more than a bar; it's a dedicated embassy for vermouth culture. Located in Gràcia (with a second branch in Sant Antoni), it holds the largest collection of vermouths in the world. The atmosphere is theatrical, playful, and educational, offering everything from tasting flights to mixology workshops centered around the aromatic wine.
Check their website for 'Vermouth School' workshops. They teach you how to make your own blend or how to mix professional vermouth cocktails.
The decor is incredible — quirky, vintage, and and very 'Gràcia'. It's a great spot for a first date or a fun group outing.
