Broken Eggs — Restaurant in London

There are very, very few places in London with this type of value for money, specially for a restaurant near Oxford Street. We ate like kings including a Sangría 1L jug for less than £30 per person and basque cheesecake as dessert. If you don't drink alcohol and just want to have a main, then its going to be much cheaper.

The star of the menu is a massive Tortilla omelette which for two people works less than £10 per person. Filling, simple, delicious. As a Spaniard, the actual gooey runny consistency is exactly as you would have in the traditional cafeterias in Spain. Just a slight criticism is the flavour, at least for the classic one: not exactly as you'll find in Spain, which I guess results from over-caramelising the onions to make it palatable for the British crowd, and therefore it tastes more like an egg omelette with a very subtle onion taste. But I guess that's my opinion because I do miss a bit of the crunchiness of the onion which you do find in tortillas around Spain. So I will recommend going for the ones with the add-ons, like jamón or courgettes then you'll find it tastier.

Some people might also want to try the tapas selection. At first glance, since they only have 6 tapas to choose from, it may look short but omg, the things they have are cooked and prepared to perfection. César salad has actual grated manchego cheese and home made croutons and toasted garlic, which gives it a very distinct Spanish taste. Then you have the coliflower which is filling, and cooked perfectly.

We also had the "chorizo" bikini sandwich which it's tasty and delicious. Just to note that it's not really made with chorizo , but with sobrasada, so people who don't like chorizo might be surprised they actually adore it. Sobrasada, which is different from chorizo, is a really soft, spread paste made with streaky bacon, pork loin and spices. It works perfectly for a bread sandwich since its milder than chorizo. I guess they've added that label for people to understand it, as outside of Spain sobrasada it's not as popular as chorizo.

Small details like lamps in the restaurant have European plugs also made me smile, so owners have put a lot of love in the restaurant.

You also should try the dips and sauces with your tortilla. For £1 extra you get delicious Ali olí and bravas sauce which goes perfectly.

As dessert, I highly recommend the burnt basque cheesecake which is simple but baked absolutely perfectly with exact taste that you'll find in Bilbao.

10/10,...

Came here with a friend for an early evening dinner. I reserved ahead for 5:30pm and on arrival the restaurant was empty which was great because we could sit wherever we wanted and decided to sit against the back wall next to the window.

The waiting staff were super friendly and attentive providing us with an explanation of the menu and dishes and the recommended order quantity and personal favourites.

We decided to order some soft drinks, the kombucha and lemonade both of which were extremely refreshing.

After eventually decided on what we wanted to eat the waiter took our order of which we ordered the bread, olives and alioli dip, croquetas, bikini (a really tasty chorizo and cheese toasted sandwich), a small chorizo tortilla and a small classic (caramelised onion) tortilla, all to share.

All the food arrived as it was ready in very good time. All of it was excellent and we didn't really have anything to complain about. The small plates, both the croquetas and bikini were amazing! The bikini was something unique and would definitely recommend it, however I would say that more honey was needed as all the other flavours seemed to overpower any sweetness from it.

Both the tortillas were decadently flavoured and textured with a luxurious melt-in-the-mouth feel. There was nothing we could fault with them! They were probably the best tortillas I've had anywhere outside of Spain. We were glad to have ordered the bread because they paired perfectly with them.

Finally, we treated ourselves to dessert and got the chocolate mousse and burnt basque cheesecake which again were perfect and there were not complaints from us.

Overall, if you want to try something different and have a craving for Spanish food that isn't tapas,...

I'm Spanish and I've never tasted such authentic Spanish food with such a homemade taste in London! I went for lunch last week with my partner because it's next to our offices, and it was the best thing we could do. We tried the gazpacho which you could tell was homemade, the croquettes which reminded me of my grandmother's, the pan con tomate, which even in Spain I have never tasted it this good, with that presentation and that intense red colour. We also ordered boquerones en vinagre (anchovies in vinegar), which I'm pretty sure they are marinated there too. And finally the star dish, the Spanish omelette, SPECTACULAR! We ordered the traditional one, with potato and onion, super juicy, so much so that I recommend asking for more bread on the side to dip the bread in the omelette and “rebañar bien” the plate. For dessert we ordered the Basque cheesecake, it was also amazing! A 100/10 for everything! The place is small but very cute, and they have a little terrace where we were able to eat while it was nice out. The place is spotlessly clean and the service is super fast and friendly at the same time. I'm very happy to have this place next to my work, I’m going to go definitely there once a week just to feel at home! Highly recommended!!!!
