Part of a small population of restaurants seeking to reinvent age-old dishes, the venue fuses traditional Spanish tapas with international flavors.

On weekdays, the restaurant packs in trendy, cosmopolitan Spaniards as well as savvy expats looking for an after-work snack, a few glasses of wine, and some engaging conversation, while the weekends at La Musa cater to groups who come to socialize and savor the future of Spanish cuisine. ... read full review |
