At the moment, Wednesday's at Vintoteca Barcelona is Pintxos night, where hot and cold, healthy Spanish tapas is on display.

These are the octopus samosas. This Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fusion tapas is a winning take on the classic samosa.

Calexico is an award-winning Mexican street food eatery that serves tacos, quesadillas, quick bites and Mexican takes on classic cocktails.

This is the Baja fish taco, (battered fish, slaw, mango salsa and crack sauce) and the crispy chicken taco (crispy fried chicken, ranch, crack sauce, shredded lettuce, flour tortilla). My taco Tuesday fix. These bite sized tacos are fried to perfection, drenched in crack sauce and super crisp.

Tuesday is Seafood night at Wok Sofitel. Wok serves up authentic South-East Asian pho, rice rolls and freshly grilled seafood.

Vietnamese sugar plum balls. The sugar plum is distinctly sweet and the sesame lends this traditional dessert an earthy flavour.

Re:Asian on the 50th floor of The Four Seasons Hotel offers contemporary interpretations of traditional Asian dishes.

Lobster and shrimp spring rolls with honey and 10 spice dipping sauce. The addition of lobster elevates the dish while the honey in the dipping sauce lends it a satisfyingly sweet kick.
