Review of Cambio de Tercio: ? Write your own review

Ever since opening in the mid-1990s, Cambio de Tercio has been a standard bearer for top-level Iberian cuisine. Judging from a recent visit, it remains on sparkling form. The funky little dining room has mustard-yellow, black & blood-red walls offset by diverting paintings. The kitchen is renowned for innovation – a shot glass layered with foie gras, Pedro Ximénez sherry & roast sweetcorn topped with manchego foam provides a balanced hit of texture & flavour – but it also excels at traditional specialities such as crisp-skinned suckling pig with rosemary potatoes. Eat tapas-style or follow the three-course route. Either way, don’t miss the star dessert – white chocolate ganache, pistachio powder, passion fruit & ginger ice cream. Alternatively, treat yourself to the good-value nine-course tasting menu (£37) with something from the patriotic wine list (which runs from Alella to Yecla). Efficient young Spanish staff greet newcomers like regulars & treat regulars as part of the family.

The food at this restaurant was completely ruined by the appalling atitude of the staff in particular the manager who provides the Fawlty Towers example of customer care. Such a shame for a potentially good restaurant to have no appreciation of how the importance of respect for the customer can be the difference between an excellent dining experience and a nightmare.

I returned here last week having had a delicious dinner there last summer. I was so disappointed to find that the quality of the food had taken a serious dive. While the tapa of pata negra was excellent (and so it should be for the price) some of the cooked dishes were accompanied by heavy, almost gloopy sauce, that were really horrible. The price was also way over the top for what we eat. I shall not be returning which is a pity as the atmosphere is fun.
