Chef Katie Button's James Beard-winning tapas spot in a former bus depot, famed for jamón ibérico sliced from hanging legs, vermouth on tap, and authentic Spanish small plates that shouldn't be missed.
“Rock a few plates of tapas and don't forget to pull back an Eclipse de Luna - a moonshine-based cocktail - and a few slices of jamon iberico.”

"I’ve got, not a hot take, but a room-temp take. Frittata, quiche, tortilla española: I could live without them. They’re just not my thing. Eggy cakes. They’re bland, somehow never salted..."
"Focusing on Spanish cuisine was a natural fit. Cúrate’s menu is simple, allowing the excellent produce and meats to shine. Naturally, it serves perfect, thinly sliced jamón ibérico de bellota."
