38 | March/April 2015 TAPAS: NC Style If you have fallen in love with the tapas style of eating, then I highly recommend taking a dining excursion to Zambra, Mateo Bar de Tapas and Gia. Resting in the heart of Asheville, the beautiful, eccen- tric Zambra serves modern style tapas incorporating the "Farm to Table" philosophy by sourcing local-organic in- gredients whenever possible. They also integrate special ingredients imported directly from Spain. They have an extensive wine list and feature selections such as Pome- granate Braised Pork Spring Rolls, Prosciutto Wrapped Medjool Dates, and Masa Crusted Gulf Shrimp. They were recently named as one of the most romantic restaurants in America by Travel and Leisure. Mateo Bar de Tapas is housed in the Book Exchange build- ing in downtown Durham. Their menu offers authentic Spanish tapas infused with modern style dishes of the South. Features on their menu include small plates such as Brandade (salted cod with piquillo pepper confit, sun- choke chips and sunflower sprouts), Ensalada de Mariscos (chilled shrimp, scallops, octopus, clams and calamares with a sherry vinaigretta) and Queso Frito Y Huevo (farm egg with crispy manchego and mushrooms). Located in Greensboro, Gia is a very chic, modern-style restaurant serving tapas style dishes made from high quality ingredients sautéed or baked in a wood fire oven. They provide a wide variety of wines, hand crafted beers and vintage cocktails. Highlights on their menu include Green Hummus with Olive Tapenade, Flash Fried Arti- chokes, Eggplant Bruschetta and Fruitti Di Mare.
