在灣仔QRE Plaza 的Quemo是飲食集團Elite Concepts 與大廚Quim Marquez 合作開的現代西班牙餐廳。創新的西班牙tapas 頗有新鮮感，其中印象最深刻的是用大平鍋盛載的西班牙海鮮飯，飯吸滿了味道濃郁的海鮮汁，軟硬度也做得很適中。食物雖然不算太精緻，但室內的裝潢很舒適，價錢不算貴，所以是很多年輕人週末吃晚飯的熱點之一。It is not even funny how much we Hong Kongers love Spanish food and how many new Spanish restaurants have sprung up recently. Quemo, a collaboration between Elite Concepts (of yè shanghai, nanhai No.1 and 1/5 nuevo) and Quim Marquez, the owner of the eponymous El Quim de la Boqueria in Barcelona, is a casual, upbeat Spanis
It is not even funny how much we Hong Kongers love Spanish food and how many new Spanish restaurants have sprung up recently. Quemo, a collaboration between Elite Concepts (of yè shanghai, nanhai No.1 and 1/5 nuevo) and Quim Marquez, the owner of the eponymous El Quim de la Boqueria in Barcelona, is a casual, upbeat Spanish restaurant in QRE Plaza that serves modern Spanish tapas with an inventive twist. The spacious venue comprises a large dining room furnished with light wooden furniture, a private dining area as well as an outdoor patio. The service at Quemo is friendly and engaging, and the prices are also reasonable, with a dinner typically setting you back around $400-500 per head.
My friend organized her birthday dinner here. As we were a big group and ordered several servings of each dish, the photos of the food and drinks below may not represent normal portions at the restaurant.
(1) My friends and I had a great time chatting over a glass of homemade Sangria.
(2) The Chorizo lollipop ($68) not only looked cute, but tasted decent too, with the quince jelly and goat cheese adding a different texture and dimension to the savoury chorizo.
(3) These Quemo crab croquetas ($88) were crunchy and full of fresh, crabby flavours.
(4) There wasn't much foie gras flavour in the Oyster bocata with BBQ foie gras and homemade sweet potato bread ($88), but the crispy battered oysters were delightful.
(5) The Maldonado acorn fed iberico with tomato bread ($328) followed. The tomato bread was a tad too hard and had too little tomato paste on it, but the iberico ham was very tempting.
(6) These adorable Pregnant tomatoes ($68) certainly cheered us up! Filled with smoked fish, roasted eggplant, onion and pepper and generously sprinkled with Parmesan shavings, this dish was a symphony of vibrant flavours.
(7) The El Quim de la Boqueria's fried egg ($118), consisting of fried eggs, shrimps and bread, was appetising but a tad too oily.
(8) The Squid ink paella ($468), ceremonially served in a gigantic flat pan, was simply perfect for photos! The paella was bursting with flavours, and the texture of the plumped up rice was spot-on
Clams were served on the side and a hint of garlic accentuated their flavours.
(9) The Presa iberian pork shoulder loin ($638) was an accomplished dish, boasting deep, meaty flavours and a pleasingly firm texture.
(10) These little deep-fried balls, called Chocolate addiction ($58), were puffy and airy without being overly sweet. They were a lovely dessert to round up our meal.
Mouthwatering paellas, a buzzing, convivial atmosphere and wallet-friendly prices make Quemo a popular haunt amongst the young crowd in Hong Kong.
