A TRADITIONAL SPANISH TAPAS BAR AND RESTAURANT IN THE HEART OF THE WEST END
Our guests – many of whom have been coming for all three decades – are the reason we exist. Our kitchen makes the tortillas fresh every day. We prepare the paella to order, every time. It is harder work. It is also why the food tastes like it does.
SPANISH HIDDEN GEM IN LONDON
Our Iberian ham croquetas are made fresh in our kitchen every day – not bought in. Each portion of our Jamón Ibérico 100% Bellota is hand-carved and brought to the table. Our paella is prepared to order and takes fifteen minutes, because that is how long a real paella takes. This is what traditional Spanish tapas in London looks like, made with proper ingredients by people who care.
