Harmonizing traditional Catalan cuisine with the vanguard has become the priority of santa Maria chef and owner Paco Guzman. The rustic, almost cavernous setting has the feel of a primitive Andalucian home in Granada’s Gypsy enclave, the Sacromonte, but with more symmetry and color. It is not an exclusive setting, but one where young and old can sample tapas, dine on a traditional Spanish meal, or have something completely different, without maxing the credit card. Guzman serves the traditional butifarra dish of sausage and white beans, but, rather than pork, the sausage may be filled with duck and flavored by oranges. Tapas may come the old fashioned way, with the anchovies on toasted bread smeared with puréed tomato, or as a sushi of trout eggs and avocado. Grilled shark and rare tuna steak in a lime and soy sauce are often mated with wild mushrooms or asparagus, two Catalan favorites. Desserts range from a piña colada chupa-chup treat (these round suckers are for sale everywhere) or a rice pudding with cinammon ice cream.
