Mood 01 — From Noon

La Cocina

The fire side of the house — Spanish classics, cooked loud and sent straight from the flame to your table.

Flames in the La Vida kitchen
Paella de Mariscos
★ Signature · Best seller

Paella de Mariscos

Saffron-stained bomba rice, simmered low with fresh prawns, black mussels, squid and sweet peas — left to crisp into a golden socarrat at the base. The one plate Hartamas keeps coming back for.

Serves 2–3 · made to order
Pizza Margherita
★ Signature

Pizza Margherita

Blistered thin crust under melted mozzarella, sweet red peppers and torn fresh basil — simple, and exactly right. One of the most-ordered plates from our oven.

Whole or by the slice
Nachos Con Queso
★ Signature

Nachos Con Queso

A loaded platter of crisp tortillas under molten cheese, jalapeños, guacamole, salsa and sour cream — the table’s first happy argument of the night.

Built to share
Carne con Pimientos
★ Off the plancha

Carne con Pimientos

Tender beef strips seared hard and tossed with onions, red and green peppers in a glossy, smoky chili glaze, finished with a squeeze of lemon.

Best with rice or bread
Seafood Spaghetti
★ From the sea

Seafood Spaghetti

Spaghetti tossed in garlic-chili oil with prawns, plump mussels and clams — a little heat, a lot of depth.

A bar favourite
Gambas Al Ajillo
★ Still sizzling

Gambas Al Ajillo

Garlic prawns in sizzling chili oil with white wine and a crack of sea salt — order extra bread, there are no survivors.

Best with a cold cerveza

More from the kitchen

Hands-on
Sticky Glazed Wings

Sticky sesame-soy glaze, toasted seeds and a cool garlic dip on the side.

Calamari Frito
From the fryer
Calamari Frito

Lightly battered and flash-fried, with lemon and aioli. Crisp, never chewy.

La Vida House Salad

House Salad

Garden greens, quail eggs, chickpeas, beans and toasted sourdough.

Seafood Crostini
Tapas
Seafood Crostini

Toasted bread piled with garlicky seafood — one or two bites of heaven.

Para terminar — something sweet

Crema Catalana
Torched to order
Crema Catalana

Spain’s burnt-cream classic — silky custard under a crackly torched-sugar top.

Cookies and Cream Tiramisu
House favourite
Cookies & Cream Tiramisu

Our tiramisu rolled in crushed cookies and cocoa. Dangerously good.

When the pans cool,
the shakers wake.

From 12PM — la cocina roars Till 2AM — la barra glows

Same roof. Same table. Different mood.

Mood 02 — after dark

La Barra

The neon side — frozen margaritas, dessert martinis and long pours till close.

La Vida lounge
Frozen strawberry margarita
★ Signature pour

The Frozen Margarita

Blended fresh over crushed ice and poured till late — strawberry, mango or classic lime, each one salted, garnished and built to be photographed. This is what the neon was made for.

The best experience @ La Vida — the food was good and the beers come in frozen mugs. Their signature cocktail, the La Vida Mudslide, and the Long Island were spot on. Tapas and pizzas were excellent — will tell people!
