Restaurant Visit | Aqua Nueva 🎉

Aqua Nueva, located in London’s Soho, specializes in the cuisine of northern Spain. The restaurant’s philosophy is to respect tradition but not be bound by it, presenting classic Spanish dishes in an exquisite and innovative way. 🌟 Since the restaurant focuses on innovation, we avoided the classic, safe options and went for the less common dishes. Overall, we were very satisfied! The environment, service, and quality of the dishes all exceeded our expectations – full of surprises. We’ll definitely be back! 🥂 📍 Address : 30 Argyll St, London W1B 3BR 1️⃣ Crab Tostada – Crab Meat Crisps 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Mexican-style crisp topped with generous crab meat. The texture is rich and layered, with a prominent lemon flavor that’s very refreshing and palate-cleansing. The crab is pure, aromatic, and fresh – a fantastic appetizer! 🦀 2️⃣ Razor Clams – Razor Clams 🌟🌟🌟 This dish is on the refreshing side, with a strong mint flavor. If you’re not a fan of mint (like me), this might not be for you. The clams are fresh but in very small quantities, cut into tiny pieces – not very satisfying. However, it’s an inventive dish worth trying. 🐚 3️⃣ Malaga Mollete Bread – Mini Burger 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Super hearty and delicious without being greasy! The bread is soft, the cheese is fragrant, and the pulled pork is slow-cooked to perfection – juicy and not dry at all. Highly recommended! 🍔 4️⃣ Gambas Al Ajillo – Garlic Shrimp 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This dish is incredibly impressive. The shrimp roe is fully integrated into the sauce, and the shrimp is soaked in it, so every bite is infused with the rich flavor of the roe. The shrimp itself is fresh and bouncy. The sauce is perfect for dipping bread – I couldn’t stop eating it! 🍤 5️⃣ Artichoke Flower – Artichoke Flower 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This dish is a visual masterpiece – stunning to look at and delicious. It’s not greasy at all. The artichoke has both crispy, charred parts and soft, tender sections – you get to experience both textures. 🥒 6️⃣ Pases e Pinons Duck – Duck 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The cylindrical shape of the duck is very unique, topped with beetroot rose petals for a beautiful presentation. The duck is perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and slightly chewy on the outside. The only minor critique is the sauce – it’s good, but not quite addictive enough to make me stop eating. 🦆 #HiddenGemRestaurant #LondonRestaurantRecommendation #LondonFood #MustTryRestaurantsInLondon #LondonEats #RestaurantVisit #LondonFoodie #LondonAmbianceRestaurant #Food #RestaurantVisit #FoodShare #SpanishRestaurant
