Origin of the name
The term refers to an ancient Spanish culinary habit of filling one or two small slices of bread with various ingredients such as cold cuts, meat, fish, vegetables, cheeses or various types of sauces.
100 Montaditos has thus decided to take inspiration from this tradition by giving life to a list of a hundred different proposals.
From the historical ones with jamón serrano or tortilla de patatas, to those designed specifically for the local market, up to the sweet ones.
History
The first 100 Montaditos restaurant was opened in Spain in 2000 on a small beach in Islantilla, Huelva, by the hand of the Seville entrepreneur Jose María Capitán.
