Highly Recommended! 🌟 An Unforgettable Spanish Feast

Having never visited this restaurant before, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the glowing reviews set high expectations, and I’m thrilled to say my experience exceeded them! From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth and hospitality. The atmosphere was buzzing with positive, vibrant energy—a perfect blend of cozy and lively. 💃❤️ I absolutely loved the open kitchen upstairs. Yes, it was a bit noisy, but that only added to the authentic, energetic vibe—it felt like being part of the action! I was seated quickly and enjoyed a delicious mojito while waiting for my friends. 🍹 And let me tell you—it was one of the best mojitos I’ve ever had! Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and utterly delightful. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the tapas-style dining was the chance to try a wide variety of dishes. The menu is quite extensive, offering something for everyone. Standouts included: 🍖 Pork and beef meatballs in rich tomato sauce with crispy parsnip 🥓 Ham, chorizo, and smoked bacon croquettes—crispy outside, creamy inside 🦑 Black rice seafood paella with squid, prawns, squid ink, and garlic aioli 🐙 Grilled octopus with romesco sauce, aioli, and charred lemon 🥚 The classic tortilla—beautifully runny in the middle! We also enjoyed: Marinated peppers 🌶️ A gorgeous charcuterie board with Iberian acorn-fed chorizo, salchichón, loin, and jamón 🧀 Patatas bravas—crispy potatoes with spicy sauce 🥔 A fresh vegetable salad with fennel, zucchini, almonds, and lemon dressing 🥬 Padrón peppers 🫑 Garlic, chili, and olive oil prawns (see mouth-watering pics!) 🍤 To drink, I tried the satisfying Alhambra Spanish beer—a great match for the bold flavors. 🍺 And for dessert? We indulged in the sublime crema Catalana and a rich double chocolate pistachio cake. Pure heaven! 🍫🍰 A special thank you to the staff for the unforgettable birthday sing-along—complete with the open kitchen crew banging pots and pans in celebration! It was so much fun and made the night truly memorable. 🎉🥳 The final bill came to £237 including drinks (plus the now-commonplace "discretionary" service charge). For four people, given the outstanding quality and variety of the food, it felt like great value. #HighlyRecommended #SpanishTapas #VibrantVibes #OpenKitchen #BirthdayCelebration
