An escape to Spain for the evening wouldn't be complete without a beautiful plate of olives. Our signature olives have long been a menu staple, house-marinated with orange peel, thyme, and garlic to bring out the flavors and textures of this favorite. 🫒

When you dine with us at Xiquet, your experience begins with an assortment of Valencia-inspired snacks, including our signature Mojama. This vibrant tuna loin enjoys a 36-hour salt cure before it is expertly dry-aged by our chefs for 4 weeks ⏳.
