No reservations. Just rock up – early evening if you want to avoid the queues. This is a brilliant tapas bar. It’s small, intimate, and the food is amazing. The wine list is short and good: we ordered the amazing Abrazos by Reverte Garnacha 2023, which comes chilled.
This is from Navarra, and is £36 on the list. And then we ordered a bottle of Tio Pepe Fino, one of the world’s best value wines. It was just over £40 on the list, but by the 100 ml glass it was £7, so it’s quite a saving. And at 15% alcohol, there’s no problem drinking this in all its salty, tangy goodness. The food was as good as you’d expect.
