Tate Modern are giving art lovers the chance to eat like Pablo Picasso

Ailis Brennan9 March 2018

We all want to paint like Pablo Picasso – but have you ever thought about eating like him too?

In celebration of The EY Exhibition: Picasso 1932 – Love, Fame and Tragedy, Tate Modern have announced a special menu at their Level 9 restaurant, which will chart the artist’s life in food.

The two course menu, created by head chef Jon Atasharoo, will encompass some of Picasso’s favourite dishes, and offerings inspired by the European regions and restaurants that he frequented throughout his life.

This will include Iberian dishes including a traditional Spanish tortilla with aioli (which Picasso once told Vogue magazine was his favourite dish of all time) and a roasted rabbit leg with braised chickpeas and sobresada, inspired by the time Picasso spent exploring the painterly potential of the Spanish landscape.

French dishes include a bacon crapiaux with andouillette and mustard, an adaptation of Picasso’s favourite dish at Lapin Agile restaurant in Paris – the restaurant for which he painted Harlequin Au Lapin Agile.

A homage to his time on both the beaches of Catalonia and the French Riviera, Atasharoo has also created a dish of seared squid, black rice, peppers and almonds.

Picasso fans can get their hands on the 2 course meal for £39.50, which includes a ticket to the exhibition.

Menu available at Tate Modern from March 8 - May 31. For more information visit tate.org.uk.
