Isabella’s Tapas Bar: A Year of Culinary Revelry and Vermouth Magic

By Author

Published on November 16, 2023

In a year filled with vibrancy, flavors, and home-made vermouth galore, Isabella’s Tapas Bar in Goa has successfully marked its first anniversary. This Vermuteria, the first of its kind in Goa, has not only redefined the role of vermouths in cocktails but has also become a culinary haven for Spanish and Portuguese delights.

Isabella’s commitment to crafting signature vermouths has turned these fortified white wines into culinary stars, making them the unsung heroes of classic cocktails like Negroni, Martinis, and Manhattan. What sets Isabella’s apart is its unique concept aligning perfectly with its status as a Tapas bar.

The menu at Isabella’s is a delightful array of classic Spanish tapas, featuring Croquettes, Patatas Bravas, Albondigas, Manchego cheese platters, and Paellas. Going beyond, Isabella’s introduces cult Portuguese favorites like Bacalhau (salted cod fish) to India, making it a true rarity.

The dedication to authenticity is evident as Isabella’s sources international ingredients directly from Spain and Portugal, infusing every dish with the genuine flavors of these countries.

Isabella’s Tapas Bar is not just about savoring the end product; it’s on a mission to educate and inspire. The Vermouth-making classes they offer are a comprehensive 3-hour experience covering the history of Vermouth, botanical deep dives, live demonstrations of vermouth production, and a hands-on session behind the bar. Attendees leave with their vermouth-making kit to experiment with at home, making this offering unparalleled in India’s restaurant and bar scene.

What truly distinguishes Isabella’s is its unwavering commitment to the Tapas philosophy, staying true to its roots and mainly catering to the Iberian continent. In a world of culinary fads, Isabella’s authenticity is a breath of fresh air.

As Isabella’s Tapas Bar celebrates its first anniversary and the vermouth revolution in India, it invites you to come for the vermouth, stay for the tapas, and leave with memories of a culinary adventure.
