​​🇬🇧 London's Hottest Summer Tapas Spot - Lobos​​

Spanish cuisine truly lives up to its reputation as the "Chinese food of Europe" – and Tapas? Think of it like Spain's answer to Hong Kong-style afternoon tea! This Spanish tavern, which never had queues during colder months, now overflows with diners spilling onto the sidewalks in summer heat. Among my regular haunts, Lobos stands out by defying Tapas stereotypes – forget dainty portions, their plates could feed a small army (my girlfriends and I always leave stuffed!). 🦐 ​​PRAWNS IN GARLIC​​ Jumbo prawns, expertly peeled, with flesh so tender it somehow channels crab roe richness. Swimming in garlic oil, each bite teleports you to Barcelona's seaside markets. 🐙 ​​GRILLED OCTOPUS LEG​​ My perpetual reorder – two massive tentacles that shame other Tapas joints' measly cubes. The springy texture confirms it's never seen a freezer. ​​ARTICHOKES & ROMESCO​​ Grilled artichokes with Romesco sauce – that mysteriously delicious dish your "white people food"-loving friend obsesses over but can't explain. 🐷 ​​IBERICO FILLET AND TRINXAT​​ The wagyu of pork – zero "UK pork funk," just pure Iberico fat magic. Cooked like steak, it'll ruin other pork for you. 🥘 ​​BLACK RICE PAELLA​​ Squid-ink paella packed with seafood, ranking among London's best. The ideal carb base for balancing other flavors. 📍 ​​Lobos Soho​​ 48 Frith St, W1D 4SG (a stone's throw from Chinatown) ⏳ ​​Pro Tip:​​ Weekday lunches = easiest seating; evenings = prepare for a cosmopolitan crowd. #UKFoodGuide #BritishEats #LondonFoodScene #TapasLovers #SpanishCuisine #FoodieFavorites #RepeatWorthyRestaurants #LondonDining
