Introduction
Our Food
The Cocopalm Restaurant served both Cuban food in a formal dinning setting. Since Cuban food is inherently the fusion of Spanish and Caribbean food, you will notice several dished reflective of both regions.
Our menus change slightly depending of the time of the year, in order to maintain the freshest ingredients seasonally. Also, we love to take suggestions from our best critic, our customers.
More on CUBAN Food.
Cuban cuisine is the fusion of Spanish and Caribbean cuisines. Cuban recipes share spices and techniques with Spanish cooking, with a little Caribbean influence in spice and flavor. A traditional Cuban meal would not be served in courses rather all food would be served at the same time. The meal would consist of plantains, black beans and rice, ropa vieja (beef), pork with onions, milk and tropical fruits. Black beans and rice, called "moros y cristianos," or 'congrisâ? and plantains are staples of the Cuban diet. Much of the meat dishes are slow cooked with light sauces. Garlic, cumin, oregano and bay leaves are the dominant spices.
More on SPANISH Food.
Spanish cuisine is made of very different kinds of dishes due to the differences in geography, culture and climate. It is heavily influenced by the variety of seafood available from the waters that surround the country. As Spain has had a history with many different cultural influences, the richness and variety of its cuisine is overwhelming, but all these ingredients have made up a unique cuisine with thousands of recipes and flavours. The international influences are perhaps most obvious in Barcelona. Next door to a shop selling ready-made falafels might be an Asian food restaurant, which is next to a traditional tapas bar, and on and on in amazing variety.
Much influence on Spanish cuisine has come from the Jewish and Moorish traditions. The Moors were a strong influence in Spain for many centuries and their food is still eaten in Spain today. These are some of the primary influences that have differentiated Spanish cuisine from Mediterranean cuisine, of which Spanish cuisine shares many techniques and food items.
Daily meals eaten by the Spanish in many areas of the country are still very often made traditionally by hand, from fresh ingredients bought daily from the local market. This is more common in the rural areas and less common in the large urban areas like Madrid, where supermarkets are beginning to displace the open air markets. However, even in Madrid food can be bought from the local shops, bread from the panaderia, meat from the carniceria, etc.
Traditional Spanish cooking also often revolves around outdoor cooking over a fire, perhaps in a special clay or brick oven.
One popular custom when going out is to take tapas with your drink (sherry, wine, beer...). In some places, like Granada, tapas are given for free with your drink and have become very famous for that reason. It should be noted that almost every tapas bar serves something comestible when a drink is ordered, without charge.
Another traditional favorite is the churro with a mug of thick hot chocolate to dip the churro in. ChurrerÃas, or stores that serve churros, are quite common. Specifically the ChocolaterÃa de San Ginés in Madrid is very famous as a place to stop and have some chocolate with churros, often late into the night (even dawn) after being out on the town. Often traditional Spanish singers will be seen to entertain the guests.
