LA FERIA SPANISH TAPAS

Located inside 4130 Cass, La Feria is conceived as a neighborhood restaurant serving authentic Spanish Tapas in an emerging creative district. The intimate dining room and bar relate to both street and kitchen through oversized openings. An accordion-style window with bench-seat opens completely, seamlessly connecting the restaurant with street-life, while a visible kitchen invites patrons to converse with the head chef. 

Over head, a faceted ceiling defines the bar area and evokes the image of festive tents found at the Spanish festival for which the restaurant is named. Throughout the space, a playful and authentic color palette further hint at the Owner’s Spanish heritage, while traces of the buildings masonry walls and wood ceiling remind one of the restaurant’s location inside an historic Detroit garage building.
