Joanne Cox, Brand Marketing Manager for La Tasca restaurants said:
For most people the 14th of February is a day to celebrate love and your relationship and it’s great to see so many people appreciating the intimacy that sharing food can create. Tapas is designed to encourage interaction and conversation during the dinner party because it’s all about sharing your favourite food. All our dishes on our special Valentine’s menu are authentically Spanish and have been designed to arouse the senses from smell and taste to touch and sight, which, as we know, can be pretty powerful.
