This is one of the top ranked restaurants in a city which boasts of some of the world's best restaurants. So the expectations were high and I am happy to say that they were mostly met. So much so that I went there for a second time during my stay in London.
This restaurant has a warm, cosy ambiance. They serve modern European cuisine with strong Spanish influences. What I liked most about this restaurant is that they like to keep things simple. They don't overdo their sauces and let the ingredients speak for themselves, which is as well they might, because they use really high quality ingredients. Everything I tried, starting from the complimentary bread to the wood fired pigeons to the Iberico ham was of the highest standard.
The service was warm and friendly. They managed to find a table for me even though I walked in unannounced at dinner time during a busy weekend. The prices, by London standards, are pretty reasonable. Overall, highly recommended.
Went with two mates on a Tuesday evening, was told it had a good atmosphere and good food. When we arrived it wasn't that lively and we thought we'd made a mistake! We ordered some beers and looked at the tapas menu, ordering two each.
Needless to say when it arrived, it was a good choice! Chicken liver parfait, salmon gravadlax, king prawns, Serrano ham & melon, grilled octopus were all good, but the real kicker was the morcilla with quails egg, simply amazing! Three of us, four slices, some evil eyes decided who was getting the last slice.
We followed with choc fondant with ice cream and crumble with the same, both very nice. Cognac and coffees followed and the bill..... £150, job done, three very happy campers. Cheers to José who served us, great guy, knows his stuff and very professional. Only a 5min walk behind Victoria station, go there you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Great fix for good French food. ...The menu was a nice mixture of classic French fare and interesting new takes on old dishes. All of our meals were a hit and am so excited to go back and try more!
Great option for a low key but nice French meal in the neighborhood.
