Fernandez & Wells

wine is weighed at this tiny shopfront bar. standing room only so dont plan to spend the whole evening here
we came for a glass of cava whilst waiting for our table at Andrew Edmunds across the road.
The cava was great but you need sharp elbows to get anywhere near the counter. The staff seem very stressed but the smell of the tapas was very tempting so we eat morcilla (delicious black pudding) soem squid in ink and some olives. They should fill the rest of the building with tables and chairs and they wouold make a lot of soho drinkers very happy. I'd love to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine and a plate of splendid Jabugo ham but at £24 per plate I cannot justify eating it standing up whilst holding my glass because there is no room to manouvere.

A great little neighbourhood place – charming in its simplicity with great value food and wine. Has a sister cafe just around the corner on Beak Street with some of the best coffees in London.
