Smoke, Oil, Salt: A New Spanish Wine Bar on Melrose
A new Spanish wine bar has taken over the old Angeli Caffe spot on Melrose, with a kitchen helmed by Perfecto Rocher (formerly of Lazy Ox Canteen).
We started dinner at Smoke, Oil, Salt with olives amb bitets (olives, toasted almonds, Manchego cheese, $6) - a great starter!
I like the fresh taste of the tomato on Catalan toast, compared to Italian tomato sauce, and the homemade sausages are quite flavorful.
Vegetarians can opt for the truita de carxofes (artichoke omelet, Meyer lemon aioli, $11)
