Lurra,

LONDON

The latest edition to MaryleboneÕs pretty (and seriously foodie) Seymour Place, Lurra is a contemporary, sophisticated Basque-inspired restaurant. ThereÕs more to this trendy new joint than its good looks though: ingredients are key.With a Galician meat import business (think 14-yearold, 67-day hung beef), and a cellar housing top Spanish wines, owners Nemanja and Melody know their stuff. Much of the food is cooked over charcoal and wood grills Ð including the standout sharing plate of whole turbot with txakoli (pronounced chacoli) dressing (if youÕre going all out).There are some seriously good small plates too Ð we loved hake the kokotxas pil-pil, prawn croquettas, and sourdough with bone marrow. lurra.co.uk
