Question 5

La Crema serves tapas. Can you explain what tapas are and where they originated?

Accepted Answer

Tapas originated in Spain in the 19th century. Tapa means "to cover" in Spanish, and there are numerous stories as to how the word became associated with food. The most popular story is that restaurants and bars would serve a small tapa, such as toasted bread with charcuterie and a glass of sherry, to a customer and would place the bread over the glass to keep the fruit flies out. Tapas can be served hot or cold. Popular cold tapas include small plates featuring olives, cured meats, cheeses, tomatoes and bacalao, which is salted cod served with bread. Albondigas, patatas bravas and empanadas are popular hot tapas. Spaniards usually enjoy their dinner very late in the evening, so after the workday they frequent tapas restaurants and bars to tide themselves over.

Question 6

Tell us how Spain’s cuisine and culture influences La Crema’s menu.

Accepted Answer

At La Crema, we offer our guests traditional tapas, as well as chef-inspired small plates. I draw a lot of my inspiration from the Andalusia and Basque regions of Spain. Some of our more popular and traditional offerings are Patatas Bravas, Piquillo Peppers, Paella, Albondigas and Serrano Wrapped Figs. Some of our most popular non-traditional small plates are our Brussels Sprouts, Ceviche, Crab Cakes, Lobster Mac, Lamb Asada and Blue Crab Rangoons.

Question 7

What’s the secret to La Crema’s wildly popular desserts?

Accepted Answer

Chef Alex and his team spend a lot of time preparing these items. The execution, consistency and specialty chocolate is the secret that makes all our desserts so unbelievably good and sought after.

Question 8

Guests wait hours to dine at La Crema. What makes it so popular?

Accepted Answer

Rosemary Beach is always bustling with people enjoying the scenery, and coming to or from the beach. What makes La Crema so great is that its menu presents the opportunity to visit at any time of day. Whether guests visit for lunch, wine and tapas, or want to try some of our larger shared plates for dinner, La Crema always satisfies. Guests now have the option to dine inside or to dine al fresco, as well, which I think takes the atmosphere up a notch.

Question 9

La Crema’s menu features a lot of seafood. Tell us where the proteins are sourced.

Accepted Answer

La Crema utilizes all wild- and Gulf-caught seafood. We order our fresh fish from Inland Seafood in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Water Street Seafood in Apalachicola, Florida.

Question 10

Is La Crema kid-friendly?

Accepted Answer

La Crema welcomes folks of all ages! We think your little ones will love our Chocolate Fondue. Dress accordingly. ;)

Question 11

Can La Crema accommodate large parties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your party is large, we recommend visiting for lunch to avoid a long wait time. The larger the party, the longer the wait, of course. If your group has more than 12 guests, we will likely have to seat you at separate tables.

Question 12

Does La Crema take reservations?

Accepted Answer

La Crema operates on beach time, so we seat guests on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or call-ahead additions to the waitlist, but hope you will still join us. If there is a wait, you can grab a drink from the bar to enjoy until your table is ready!

Question 13

Does La Crema have free parking?

Accepted Answer

Restaurants like ours located on Main Street don’t have a dedicated parking lot, but Rosemary Beach does offer free parking at the corner of Highway 30A and Main Street. There are a few free street parking spots along Main Street, too. If you visit during a busy season, strolling to La Crema is a great, no-fuss option. 30A is a very walkable area!

Question 17
