Charred to Perfection Octopus requires skill to prepare, and our chefs use time-honored techniques to ensure it remains tender, never chewy. First simmered gently, the octopus becomes soft and flavorful. Then it is finished on the grill, where the high heat chars the exterior, adding smokiness and irresistible texture. Each bite is a balance of crisp edges and melt-in-the-mouth interior. 👉 Explore more culinary options in our Breakfast Menu.

Tomato-Olive Sauce: Bold & Mediterranean The tomato-olive sauce is a burst of bold Mediterranean flavor. Juicy tomatoes and briny olives create a savory, tangy base that complements the smokiness of the octopus. This sauce ties the dish to its coastal roots, reminding diners of warm evenings along the Mediterranean shore. 👉 Read more about our flavor inspirations on the Blog.
