Restaurants

This spacious Spanish themed restaurant's splendid view over the Blackheath common wins hands down before you've even sampled the sangria and tapas, especially on a warm summer night when you can sit out front. The choice covers everything you'd expect from a tapas menu and dishes are usually big enough for two people to share quite happily. Patatas bravas, garlicky mushrooms, spicy chorizo and pincho de pollo (chicken skewers) were all enjoyable although we left plates of overly chewy calamares and pungent whitebait barely touched. The staff are quietly friendly and despite the few dud seafood dishes, the food and surroundings were enjoyed equally.
