If your selection might be slightly more pan-Mediterranean in scope, a good spinach pie (spanakopita) would draw me in. Same thing with hummus, though that's going even further afield geographically.
I'm a sucker for a fresh-made salsa too. Especially if in-season locally-grown tomatoes are used.
Not sure how this ingredient might fit in, but dishes incorporating local game - with a Spanish twist - might be interesting. Maybe not as a regular menu item, but at least as a seasonal special if you can strike up a relationship with a local game butcher.

Not to derail this but I'd love a good Greek or Mediterranean restaurant to open up in the LR. We're fans of The Athens Restaurant in Manchester - I'd love something like that up here. There's a decent Greek population in Laconia (that's where Argie is from - he's first generation American - parents are Greek)... If I just had the money and the right spot...
