Octopus Tapas
This octopus dish is celebrated for its exceptional tenderness, completely lacking any rubberiness, making it a surprising favorite even for those who typically dislike octopus.
"Came for a birthday dinner and sampled their octopus tapas. Zero rubberiness. The meat was so tender that my girlfriend and I tore through the plate. I had to ask if the chef could share how he cooked the octopus to make it so tender and he was kind enough to spend ten minutes describing it."
