Formerly located in Fulham, this Spanish restaurant has been a favourite of south west London for some time now. The fresh, elegant, white-walled space makes for a calming and revitalizing dining area. Sit by the broad floor-to-ceiling window for natural light, or on the mezzanine so you can look out over the hustle and bustle down below.
Given what’s on offer in London any Englishman would rightly think that the Spanish only ever snack on wee nibbles, so it’s a great chance to have a thick slice of authentic Iberian cuisine, not just the finger food. Of course, the Hispanic affection for sharing is actively encouraged, so dip into each others' dishes and try everything. The Spanish worship at the altar of garlic and olive oil, and there’s no fear of these strong, intense and enduring flavours here. Bring some mints. If you’ve got any room left, why not try some of the delectable tapas?
Go expecting paella, tortilla and chorizo, and you will be uncommonly surprised by the diversity and depth of the cuisine on offer. Nevertheless, marvellous versions of all the classics are on offer too. Buen provecho!
