\u00a0Try them all in a single dining experience,\u00a0each in a regional Spanish preparation. \u00a0My personal favorites are\u00a0braised rabbit in a red wine, juniper, and garlic sauce, and venison\u00a0sausage in pomegranate sauce, but the tapas menu changes monthly, so<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s almost always something new to try, even after repeated\u00a0visits. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: monospace;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: monospace;\">The Dali Restaurant features a delicious, all Spanish wine\u00a0list, many at surprisingly affordable prices, to accompany your meal,\u00a0but perhaps you&#8217;ll want to try their home-made sangria, which has\u00a0little in common with the prepackaged products that you can find in\u00a0your local wine store. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: monospace;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: monospace;\">The staff are very attentive and efficient;\u00a0they&#8217;ve always been anxious to make my visit an evening to\u00a0remember. \u00a0The Dali Restaurant is to be recommended both for an\u00a0intimate evening for two or a party for multitudes.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: monospace;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: monospace;\">(ed.note) a restaurant review by a Bettina guest who frequents the Dali Restaurant and Tapas Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettina-network.com\/blog\/donation-page\">Learn More About How We Use Your Donation!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[give_form id=&#8221;3763&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to join us?<\/strong> Have a home that you want to open to become one of <strong>Bettina Network&#8217;s Hedge Schools?<\/strong> Call us and lets talk &#8211; or email us.<\/p>\n<p>Ed.
