LA BOQUERIA

BEST FOR A catch-up and a drink with friends. FOOD Inspired by Latin food markets around the world, there’s a wide selection of regional cuisine on this menu. Who knew that hot fried olives would be such fast friends with edamame? There’s something for every appetite, be it a white anchovy snack on two small toasts or 10 grilled queen prawns covered in caper salsa fresca. The 'son of a butcher man' dry-aged steak is huge. Make sure you still have space for dessert, because although they made a name for themselves with their white chocolate hazelnut gelato cookie Whoopie pie dessert, the gin-and-tonic tart or chocolate nemesis are equally formidable choices. DRINKS The wine list takes pride of place with some wonderful finds and by-the-glass options. SERVICE Welcoming, knowledgeable and always there when you need them. AMBIENCE It’s always buzzing, whether you’re inside in the mural-decorated space or outside on the expansive deck. (SMK)
