What we ate
From the Deli counter we sampled freshly baked bread served with tapenade, smoked paprika butter, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the Mediterranean olive mix and assorted beef cold cuts. From the Original menu we went for the BOCA mini beef burger and BOCA potato chips served with a spicy bravas sauce and aioli. From the Market we chose roasted duck breast and cauliflower and hazelnut salad and for the Finale pistachio and olive oil torta.
Verdict
Fresh, funky and sophisticated.
