据说，餐前小吃是必要的，调酒师会在啤酒或雪利酒上放一个碟子，防止苍蝇飞进来。不久之后，他们发现在碟子上放一些小点心是一个机会，既可以鼓励客人回来，也可以让他们保持足够的清醒，以便再待一会儿。位于温哥华的Como Taperia餐厅，是Ste. Marie团队向经典的、有数百年历史的站立小吃店的致敬。这里空间很紧凑，音乐很大声，你可能会也可能不会得到一个坐的地方，但你会更喜欢在那交谈和社交，而不是享受亲密关系和舒适。
As the story goes, tapas came about first by necessity and led to lazy innovation: bartenders would serve beer or sherry with a saucer on top to keep the flies out, and soon after saw that serving a small snack on the saucer was an opportunity to both encourage guests to return or to keep them sober enough to stay for another. Located in Vancouver, Como Taperia by lcoal practice Ste. Marie is a nod to the classic, centuries-old, standing-room-only tapas bars in Barcelona’s Poble Sec or Madrid’s La Latina quarters. These spaces are tight, acoustics are loud and you may or may not be offered a place to sit, favoring conversation and community over intimacy and comfort.
空间保持简单和有趣，让其他一些很酷的灵感点在这个背景下脱颖而出，比如让人想起Miro的钴蓝色，以及以Jean Arp的作品为出发点的艺术项目。所有这些元素的最终结果是一个迷人的地方，可以与朋友和亲人联系，享用一些简单的小吃和饮料。
The rest of the project was an exercise in keeping things simple and fun and letting a few other cool points of inspiration stand out against this backdrop like the punches of cobalt blue reminiscent of Miro and the art program taking Jean Arp’s work as a point of departure. All these elements culminate in an inviting, charming spot to connect with friends and loved ones for a few unfussy snacks and drinks.
