London's best review, food and drink news
What this diminutive restaurant lacks in floor space, it more than makes up for in other ways. Los Molinos has charm in abundance, with pretty wooden furniture and salmon-pink walls bedecked with dainty collectibles. Also ample is the long menu, which must list nearly 60 dishes something we might have cause to frown upon elsewhere, but its not a problem here. There are no fillers; lovingly rendered favourites from across Spain sit alongside less familiar offerings. There are even a couple of Mexican dishes. Most importantly, food is fresh, properly cooked and quite delicious. Extra-length ham croquettes had chunks of red pepper inside: a nice twist on the standard. A bowl of chickpeas and spinach came in a hearty, cumin-scented broth. Gambas al ajillo were plump, succulent prawns in a rich, garlicky sauce. Best of all was a revuelto of baby eels, artichokes, red peppers and mushrooms: one of the best tapas weve tried in a while. If anything, cooking at Los Molinos has improved recently, and the restaurant remains, as ever, one of the areas better dining spots.
