Tapas are appetisers or snacks that make up a wonderful part of the culture and Spanish cuisine. Smaller portions allow you to sample a variety of dishes, without control or overeating; I would consider it a centrally located miniature buffet. Tapas are designed to encourage conversation by leaving diners to focus less on the process of eating and more on the society around you. Although under the starters section, this does not mean you can not fill the value of your belly - just order more
Movida Tapas is a Spanish restaurant in Cipete that "aims to Spain be small in Jakarta. " Tapas Movida is not loud or flashy. It offers traditional Spanish cuisine, Mediterranean and Atlantic in a modest facility. The walls are refined concrete or exposed red bricks. Paintings of Spanish traditional dance, lipstick red napkins and candles melted over the wine bottles on the tables bring touches of bright color without screaming too loud. A masculine touch displays support for football in the form of shirts and accessories at the end of the bar. Outside banquets that are multifunctional serving art and seats; mosaic inspired by Gaudi.
Karina Harton, Marketing, helped explain the menu and how much we should order. We chose the must haves for our taste, tomato and Ensalada Pollo a la Vasca, while the rest was chosen for us. I think tomato salads are a good way to judge a restaurant. tomato salads are simply a few ingredients but require attention to detail to the wow factor. Fresh ingredients are a must; ripe tomatoes are the heart of the dish, seasoned with olive oil of high quality and fresh herbs. The Ensalada tomato was delicious and filling all the boxes for a good tomato salad. The tomatoes were soft but firm and well seasoned with rock salt, freshly ground black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped herbs and onion. The Brocheta guacamole gambas ajillo there was tasty with well assorted ingredients. The guacamole with the spread of sweet corn in a lightly toasted slice of baguette tempered red sliced fresh peppers sprinkled on top of plump shrimp. Montadito of solomillo was a rare medium well rested and lightly seasoned filet that allowed the other flavors, blue cheese, green olives and caramelized onions to complement the flavor of the open sandwich. The gambas ajillo came with fresh crusty baguette. The sauce was beautiful. Real butter has been used with garlic, parsley and sliced red peppers. deep flavor was acquired using either white wine or sherry. The shrimp was cooked well and remained firm. The Pollo a la Vasca had great chicken. The tasty chicken was so tender literally fell off the bone. The acidity of the tomato-based sauce went perfectly with the rich potato gratin. sliced green peppers in the sauce cool completely.
After our meal we had Sangria which was delicious and a must if you come here! She had a taste similar to mulled wine. Erna, our waitress was friendly and knew what she was talking about when I asked him about information on the dishes and recommendations; his favorite is the Championes al ajillo. Although paella is recommended and synonymous with Spanish cuisine, it was too big a part to control us. Other recommended dishes include Jammon iberico and pancetta Asad. If you get confused as to what to order, you can also find recommendations in the comments of previous boss that are written on the wall in front of the toilet. Tapas Movida is on the end, but more expensive is logical that the ingredients used, such as cheese and sausage, are rather expensive ingredients at source in Indonesia.
