Bar Ferdinand is a wonderfully romantic tapas spot in the Northern Liberties part of Philadelphia. It has a really good wine list with unique Spanish wine offerings & great tapas.
February 2014
Went to Bar Ferdinand for the first time when I was out with my girlfriends for Sunday Funday in Philly. Click here for the details...
March 2014
Did it typical UFM-styles...
Bellied up to the bar again with Matt behind the bar, sharing a bunch of plates while trying to pair wines with the food...
The Wine...
While I enjoyed the Les Sorts Rosat first I then went on to the red Txakoli that we had had the last time...
👉🍷2011 Ameztoi Rubentis Getariako Txakolina - palate-opening with minerality..
I decided that night that I was going to start giving some of the wines that I drink a name. I know this sounds a little crazy but as we were sitting there tasting and trying all of the different wines and trying to describe them, I found that some of the wines had their own personalities.. I know.. I'm strange. But whatever.. you still love me.
So getting back to the wine.. This one, the red txakoli, I called, Lucy...
Lucy Goosey. Yeah.
👉🍷2012 Fuente Milano Verdejo Viura - bright fruit and slight effervescence.. nice ride.. Went great with the Pork Belly.. #ufmrec
👉🍷2010 El Castro de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia - a little austere with a graphite start and commanding finish... I called her Natasha...
What can I say? She felt like a Natasha...
The Food...
🍴Spanish Octopus with Fingerlings, Pimenton & Aged Sherry... This was a good dish.. Octopus was very tender and flavor was spot on..
🍴Pork Belly Roasted Crispy with Apple Pear Chutney & Bacon Sherry Emulsion... Great Flavor Profile & probably My UFM Fave Dish of the evening... I mean, I am a Filipina & it is Pork Belly served crispy.. C'mon... #ufmrec
🍴Grilled Asparagus wrapped in Iberico Ham with Romesco on the side...
🍴New York Strip Steak with Organic Fried Egg & Truffles...
The last two dishes were well executed and beautifully prepared but could've used some salt...
Overall, it was another great experience here at Bar Ferdinand...
Great Wines... 👉🍷
Great Food... 👉🍴
Good Vibes... 👉👍
