This personalized encounter with chefs and mixologists provides learning experiences to diners as well as opportunities to strike up a good conversation.

Situated behind the bar are three communal tables, which seat 30 additional guests in a sleek, contemporary style décor, with a buzzing atmosphere. Diners can relish in a seasonally inspired Spanish tapas-style menu, which is guaranteed to transport you to the gaudy streets of Barcelona. Dishes such as the slow braised and charred Spanish octopus or the ribeye simply grilled over pecan wood and coconut coals and glazed on a sherry sauce finished with Cayman sea salt are all the delights expected at this accomplished restaurant. Explore Spain's traditions in depth as Avecita lifts your imaginations and senses with Sherries, aperitivo-style cocktails, house made bitters and syrups and purees, all of which compliment the menu offerings, to ensure guests receive a bona fide taste of Spain.
