Avida

Avida - A taste of the Mediterranean We are not Spanish. We are Spanish-ish. We are inspired by the tapas culture of Spain.

Our kitchen is equipped with a traditional charcoal burning, Spanish built Josper oven. We champion the wines of Jerez and those made from tempranillo. We also like gin - we have more than thirty on the shelf. The menu has the classics - patatas bravas, empanadas, gambas… and more. Join us for a casual drink, a snack, or a full meal.
