FOC Restaurant–foc being the Catalonian word for fire–earns its namesake from its boisterous atmosphere, courtesy of the cacophony of conversations from diners, the energetic movements from the open kitchen, and the eclectic array of decor ranging from traditional Cabezudos heads and even a motorcycle. Its menu is a true representation of Spanish cuisine, with a smattering of tapas selections, including the Cantábrico anchovies on charcoal brioche—a delightfully briney bite cut with salted caramel butter atop crisp, yet airy brioche. For larger format plates, FOC’s signature paellas make for a satisfying foundation to the meal. The suckling pig terrine and scallop paella for instance, boasts a robust bite, chockfull of shredded pork and intense seafood flavour. Similar to its food menu, FOC’s wine list is a veritable guide to Spanish wine culture, including an entire section dedicated to the Andalusian art of sherry.
