A 2014 renovation of Ferris Seafood Bar saw the addition of Perro Negro (Black Dog). Conceived as a waiting space for the ever-popular Ferris, it’s rapidly coming into its own as an authentic Spanish-style tapas destination. Marcona almonds are tossed with sea salt, rosemary and olive oil; dates are stuffed with blue cheese, wrapped in bacon and drizzled with honey for an inspired salty-sweet marriage. Don’t miss the brandada, a sweet piquillo pepper stuffed with salt cod and served with chorizo cream.
Tucked away on the top floor of a rustic heritage building, Perro Negro is the perfect escape. Unwind with friends over a bottle of your favourite red and a tasty spread of inventive Spanish tapas plates. On Thursdays, glasses of wine are just $4 all night long. At that price, it’d be crime not to indulge.
