🥘 World Tapas Day is coming up on 18 June! 🥘

Are small plates back on the menu?

With diners craving variety, global flavours and more sociable dining experiences, tapas and sharing plates are proving they're far more than a passing trend. In fact, diners are increasingly looking for menus that encourage exploration, conversation and a more communal dining experience.

That's why the latest issue of Infuse takes a deep dive into the growing appeal of small plates, exploring how operators can refresh their offering with bold flavours, exciting ingredients and dishes designed for sharing.

Plus, we've included three classic tapas recipes to inspire your next menu addition:
✨ Crispy Calamari
✨ Gambas al Ajillo
✨ Chorizo al Vino

Whether you're looking to tap into the small plate revival or simply add fresh menu inspiration, we've got you covered.
