Tapa literally means “lid or “cover” in Spanish. A popular explanation of the origin of tapas says that King Alfonso XII stopped by an inn in the city of Cadiz (Andalusian City) where he ordered a glass of sherry. The enterprising bartender topped the king’s glass with a slice of bread and some cured ham to prevent fruit flies or blowing sand from spoiling it, since it was a windy place. The king, after drinking his wine and eating his tapa, order another sherry “with the same cover” and the tradition was born. The tapas menu of the Lodge Lobby Lounge reflects cuisines from around the world, offering small plates in the Spanish tradition.
