We visited while holidaying in the area and had a really tasty meal here. They were very accommodating of our 3 year old and all the food we ordered was delicious. We also had 2 of their non alcoholic cocktails which were very tasty and inventive too.
We had the bread and dip board which had 3 very tasty dips and some oil and vinegar, olives (served warm which is something I've never had before and were extremely tasty), falafel which were served on a bed of pickled vegetables and were delicious, pulled pork with mojo rojo - absolutely gorgeous, wrinkled potatoes with garlic sour cream (divine) and chorizo with red onion which was melt in the mouth.
All the staff were lovely and very helpful.
My only constructive feedback would be that the menu is very limiting for vegetarians. I am not vegetarian though prefer to not eat meat but my parents are vegetarian and I would not bring them here as their options are very limited, especially as my mum is unable to eat chillies (and at least 1 of the 3 vegetarian options had chillies in it). I did ask whether the vegetarian offering was ever expanded on and was told that they've never had a problem with vegetarians but I suspect that's more because vegetarians choose not to eat there having seen the sample menu rather than anything else.
It's unfortunate as it would be very easy to add a few vegetarian options (a cheese board in place of charcuterie for instance, a good old Spanish tortilla and some grilled vegetables etc.) and I think it would make it easier for people who are vegetarian or have vegetarians in their party to choose...
Read moreThis place is amazing! From it's industrial-chic bar area with counter seating to the Aladdin's cave secret dining room with flying Aztec carpets on the ceiling, it's a super cool place for an intimate dinner with someone special or cocktails and tapas with friends.
The menu is fantastic; a wide but not overwhelming range of veg, fish and meat plates, which, as our waitress explained, are served in the order they appear on the menu. I found it really tough to choose because they all sounded exciting.
The pace of service was perfect. We were never left waiting for the next dish to arrive, or with too many plates on the table. The waitress explained everything as she served it to us and the dishes themselves were out of this world. The aubergine was the best I've ever tasted in my life. The calamari in polenta was perfectly tender.
The cocktail menu is equally excellent and hats off to the mixologist, he really knows what he's doing and could rival his peers in the big city bars.
One thing that struck me was that none of the diners were on their phones! Everyone, including the staff, seemed to be engaged in the experience of being there, and there was a lovely buzz of conversation.
I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Many thanks and congratulations to...
Read moreBeen a couple of times with friends and both time, this place delivered. It delivered on service, quality, taste, ambience - the full package. This is a 'small plates' type eatery so every dish ordered comes as it's ready so there aren't really any courses. So you have to firstly be ok with that and also be ok with sharing as the dishes are primarily made to share.
Every dish we had brought something new and exciting to the table combining seasonal and local tastes/ingredients with Mediterranean ones. It certainly made my tastebuds sing!
Dishes I would highly recommend are the Pork belly with the meat so juicy and crackling perfectly crispy, the prawns with their garlicky and buttery sauce utilising the bread provided to soak it all up, the chorizo which was the perfect combination of salty savoury flavours with the sweet and sourness of the caramelised onions. There are soo many more dishes that I'd like to discuss but that would just make this review too lengthy. Just try as much as you can - you won't be disappointed!!
Oh and they have an excellent drink's selection too, give one of the cocktails a go while...
