Spanish food won't be the same again (in London). We stumbled upon this place after dropping off a friend back to hammersmith and saw a huge crowd amongst the three cambio de tercio restaurants. As Capote Y Toros was the only one with a table left (not reserved) we quickly claimed the seating. Service was excellent as the waiter took time to explain each dish out carefully and recommended certain dishes such as the anchovies and the charcuterie selection which were the absolute highlights of the evening. The tortilla was average and to our surprise, very few tables ordered the pork cheeks- which we thought was another outstanding dish. The tiny spheres of bread are so deceiving in portion control as we found ourselves constantly having to request for a new basket to help mop up the sauces left from each of the tapas dishes.
It was a real treat visiting capote y toros however the wallet did suffer heavy damage as it ended up totalling around 120 pounds (inclusive of drinks which I must say took the brunt of the damage)
Now trying to imagine what the best of spain has to offer when I get the chance to visit!
Challenge of the day, not get drunk or severely tipsy at Capote y Toros. Before you think that's easy, here are the obstacles to jump through: over 40 varieties of sherry and the finest ham in the world, acorn fed Iberico bellota ham.
As usual for the Cambio de Tercio Group, there was little doubt about the quality of food and innovations in recipes. And with creativity comes risk, so not everything was suited for everyone’s taste. For me, I have to come back, purely because I don’t know where to find another duck liver carpaccio. But on my next visit, I’ll learn to stick to the Spanish reds, the usual 5J bellota jamon and skip the venison. And if, just if, they could slip the baby eels from Tendido Cero across the road...
