Larger plates include Arroz meloso de bogavante - a risotto-like rice dish with lobster from Valencia; Fidueá negra - a squid ink pasta dish with cuttlefish and prawns; and Paletilla de cordero lechal - slow-roasted Segovian-style lamb shoulder.
The bar stocks a carefully-chosen selection of Spanish wine and cava, all available by the glass or bottle, as well as Estrella Galicia for beer-drinkers
The husband-and-wife owners, Nacho Perez and Natalia Esquerdo have already made a respected name for themselves in the restaurant industry with their Spanish food import and supply business Lola España.
