Anexo
Budget choice
Wedged into the Turnmills building, Anexo offers a dark space heaving with office workers celebrating the home-time bell; in summer the open frontage adds traffic noise to an already loud soundtrack. The ideal night here is a chat over jugs of cocktails with some food thrown in; the Gaudíesque decor captures well the feel of a Spanish bar. In general, the tapas is above par. Patatas bravas was creditable, along with meaty albóndigas, odd-looking but tasty spinach fritters, and a rich, spicy chorizo dish. The weakest links were tired sardines, and gambas a la plancha (shrimp with garlic), which were poor value at £10.50. Staff get full marks.

If you’re bored of pub companies then the indepentenly owned Anexo is the ideal antidote, offering quality food with a laid back spanish atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and will always go the extra mile, the charm shines through the fixtures and fittings and soon wins you over. I went for lunch this saturday in Anexo and was very impressed. I had paella mixta and a impressive chorizo sliced sausages cooked in a red wine sauce all served by a wonderful waiter, very profesional and funny.

Nice place for a good meal. Decor is a bit over the top. Service was attentive and helpful. Tapas were good and real value for money for the half price offer. Will drop by again!
