Located at the heart of the Lace Market within the grade II-listed Shire Hall, this super-slick, effortlessly stylish venue has all the right ingredients. Suited both for post-work socialising or a hot date, the subdued cool of this smallish restaurant (60 covers – 30 seated, 30 unreserved stools for more casual dining) features a modern rustic blend of Moorish tiles, leather sofas & contemporary wallpaper, all under the atmospheric vaulted ceilings. Celebrate with Txakoli, the fruity sparkling white wine poured from a dramatic height, while contemplating a menu divided into ‘Spanish’ & ‘World’ sections. That’s the essence of the concept here: a fresh twist on classic Spanish tapas such as chorizo in red wine & tortilla or fried courgette flowers stuffed with Monte en Nebro cheese & drizzled in honey, plus contemporary Asian-inspired dishes such as black cod in spicy miso or char-grilled quails on a crispy leek nest.
