Spanish food has recently been a topic of conversation among our colleagues, so you can imagine our surprise when we found out there’s a new Spanish restaurant in town.
Casa Lola, the latest casual concept by FOC Group, has recently opened on Boon Tat Street, just a stone’s throw from Telok Ayer MRT station. The vibes are cosy, the hospitality warm, and the food – deliciosa.
Started by a husband-and-wife duo, Casa Lola is inspired by one of the owner’s experiences growing up in Barcelona and all the summer weekends he spent at grandma’s. Stepping into the restaurant feels like being transported to a humble neighbourhood bodega where every dish feels authentically Spanish.
Tapas, or appetisers, are a hallmark of Spanish cuisine. And at Casa Lola, you would definitely want to start your meal with one of these. From “Salmorejo” Chilled Tomato Soup (S$14) to Crispy Suckling Pig Ear with Smoked Paprika Aioli (S$15) to Lola’s Traditional Spanish Snails with Mediterranean Herbs (S$22), there’s more than enough to get your appetite going.
One is an iconic Spanish cold soup, another an appetiser you can rarely find in Singapore, and the last one a dish filled with rich, rustic flavours. No matter which you go for, it’ll be a great start to your time at Casa Lola.
When it comes to mains, you will not be disappointed with the choices too. Highlights on the menu include Grandma Lola’s Baked Macaroni Ragù (S$20) and Crispy Deboned Suckling Pig (S$36).
The former draws inspiration from comforting Spanish home-cooked meals and childhood memories. It features slow-cooked beef ragù, macaroni, and a generous serving of melted cheese – all baked to golden brown perfection.
The latter is for those of you who love meat that is tender underneath, yet crispy and crunchy at the top. Slow-cooked overnight, the suckling pig is then carefully deboned before being served with Port wine, sweet and tangy apple, and pumpkin chutney.
If you’re looking for something to drink or pair with your mains, Casa Lola also offers a selection of house wines, served straight from wooden barrels. You’ll get the traditional Spanish bodega experience while enjoying your wine with porrones designed for sharing.
For those with a sweet tooth, end off your meal with desserts such as the Chocolate Cake with Layers of Manjari 66% Dark Chocolate Ganache (S$18). Indulge in the chocolatey goodness that was made entirely in-house.
All in all, Casa Lola seems to be a place where you will get a complete, casual dining experience with flavours as vibrant as the culture it originated from. Visit the restaurant’s website if you’d like to reserve a table.
