Tres Corazones — Restaurant in England

*Update May 2022

The wine list needs updating. The selection of wine is good (used to be superb) but some essential information from these wines, such D.O / D.O.Q / VdT/ Country / Region, or harvest year is just not there.. We ordered the 'Quinta del 67' D.O Almansa, which was superb.

The first round of 'tapas' or starters which were very nice, which included 'jamon iberico de bellota', 'pimientos de Padron' and 'calamares'.

Then we ordered some mains, or meat 'tapas' aka 'Pollo Frito' and 'Pork Belly'.

In Spain we do eat pollo frito in various forms, probably the most popular being fried or sauteed on a shallow frying pan with garlic and sometimes chili (aka pollo al ajillo). We were presented with a sort of chicken nuggets, tender and crispy, resting over a bed of sweet corn, chopped chilli and other veggies, flavoured with lime juice. It was well presented, however nobody in Spain would have recognized this as coming part of their own tradition, not in the north, south, east, west or the Spanish islands.

The cherry on the top was the 'Pork Belly'. We were served 3 chunks of pork belly, tendered by a process of slow cooking, served alongside a triangle of crispy pork belly skin and some roasted vegetables - chicory -, all irrigated with commercial, straight from the bottle, BBQ sauce.

I invite you to perform a search on Google with the word 'torrezno', this will give you an idea on how 'pork belly' is served generally across Spain.

My recommendation is that you should reflect on whether you want to continue calling yourself a 'Spanish restaurant', or just a 'restaurant' or an 'eclectic-mix tapas bar & restaurant'. The inclusion of a burger on your menu speaks for itself.

For further reading, there is a book first published in 1990, The Spanish Kitchen, Nicholas Butcher. The prologue is very interesting, as it perfectly sets out the Spanish culinary culture from an Englishman's perspective. - It should be of great assistance.

What a great 'hidden gem' here in Bucks. Fabulous atmosphere, great quality Spanish food - croquetas are the real McCoy -, their tapas and portions reflect that effort has been put on every dish (i.e their cheese table, remarkable selection). Keep up the good work...

just have a lovely lunch: What's Corazon mean? Spanish. the heart. courage; spirit. love; affection; compassion or sympathy. (often used in direct address as a term of endearment) lover; beloved.

...so perhaps blurred by food and wine... but a lovely experience with my wife and daughter... the food wasn't to our entire taste but well cooked (KIng prawns - burnt black on the outside but tender (not rubbery) on the inside). What really ticked the box was the staff: a chap and a girl. She really knows her drinks and has a huge enthusiasm for the subject. Anywhere that stocks Lillet, usually has more than average knowledge... in my experience. Then my eye caught a bottle of Le Fee (Absinthe) on the top shelf... a short conversation ensued and then with an enthusiasm I haven't seen for many years she popped off and came back with a "brand new - just arrived today" bottle of Roots Mastic Liqueur... I'm 59 and have 130 different spirits on my bar...but not this (yet) THEN MY PHONE RANG... next thing I am outside the restaurant and my wife and daughter are walking to the car... with a takeaway glass. After my call I was driven home with my "taster" Roots Mastic (Resin Liqueur) and tonic... very different and nice too. I loved the enthusiasm of the lady in this restaurant, her passion for the drink and probably food to was lovely: I will going back, next time I will simply ask for her recommendation for food, trust that whilst tastes vary, enthusiasm and belief are basis for learning...

I recently hosted my baby shower at Tres Corazones in Wendover, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! The staff at this delightful tapas restaurant went above and beyond to make our private event a resounding success. From the moment we arrived, their service was outstanding, and they were incredibly accommodating to our needs.

The food at Tres Corazones was nothing short of delicious, offering a delightful array of tapas that pleased every palate. The attention to detail in each dish was evident, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the culinary delights.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was just what we were looking for—warm, inviting, and perfect for a celebration. The ambiance added a special touch to the occasion, making it a memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

The private room provided by Tres Corazones was ideal for our event. It was not only spacious enough to accommodate our guests comfortably but also tastefully decorated, creating a charming and welcoming setting for the baby shower.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Tres Corazones to anyone looking for a fantastic venue for a private event or simply a delightful dining experience. The combination of excellent staff, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere exceeded our expectations, and I can't wait for another opportunity to visit this gem of...
