Just go here…be late to the party by all means, but go here. It’s fabulous. Good wine list, with interesting takes on the classics sitting alongside Canary Island wines. The food is thoughtful and thought through: everything is prepared and served with care, and tastes just as good as it sounds. Eat all the starters you can (smoked cod’s roe, spider crab, rabbit and beans, leeks with cheese and lots of that delicious bread and butter were a few of our stand-outs), and then still go for the sharing main course options. Just fast for the day before you arrive and keep going…every single mouthful is worth it.
