‘Not your typical tapas’ is how one reader describes the intriguing small plates at this sleek, funky Spanish eatery – the west London offshoot of the more traditional El Pirata in Mayfair. Some dishes may sound familiar, but a combination of deft cooking skills & terrific ingredients elevates them above the norm: croquetas are made with piquillo peppers & smoky Idiazábal cheese from the Basque region, while tortillas are cooked to order so that the warm centre is pleasingly runny. Other items deliver a decidedly contemporary take on the tapas tradition – witness endive salad pepped up with a foam of tangy blue-veined Valdeón cheese & oh-so-fashionable ‘six-hour’ pork belly with red-wine pear & parsnip purée. Generous portions get a cheer, prices are fair, & the chef’s tasting menu provides a good-value introduction to the ‘nuevas tapas’ style.
