Jaleo Disney Springs invites Guests to celebrate World Tapas Day on June 15. This holiday commemorates the history and popularity of the traditional Catalan style of dining. The restaurant’s chef and international culinary icon, José Andrés, was instrumental in bringing this unique dining style to the United States. Since his arrival from Spain in 1993, he has used his popularity and restaurants around the country to educate and introduce the small-plate format to diners. At Jaleo, Andrés takes tapas to new and modern applications while embracing traditional tapa dishes.
Tapas are best paired with Jaleo’s selection of superb sangrias and signature cocktails, like its signature Salt Air Margarita. Make a reservation here or visit Jaleo’s bar during Sangria Hour from 4 to 6 p.m.
