Pinchitos Tapas, Old Street, London, restaurant review

It doesn't matter what time of the day you get to Pinchitos Tapas restaurant in Old Street, London, it'll be a culinary occasion. In fact, the only thing you need to worry about is getting a table. Even at lunch time it's worth booking in advance. Especially on a sunny day on the city.

It doesn't necessarily look all that special; a standard tapas style spanish restaurant with a big, square central bar, with a few rough around the edges bits and pieces, but the food is delicious. Every dish tastes like it was prepared with love. Whether it's perfectly cooked slices of melt in your mouth hanger steak with a paprika alioli or the chorizo with cider and apple sauce (the best chorizo dish I've ever had), it all amazing.

Other dishes I can vouch for include the tortilla de patatas, which is a classic, tasty patatas bravas, the amazing albondigas (meatballs in an olive sauce) and the brilliantly salty sweet taste of the port wrapped fig on a stick from the specials menu. Washed down with an Estrellas shandy and it made a great mid week lunch, but like I said, it would be class at any time of the day. I'd go for breakfast.

As well as being such a great restaurant, Pinchitos Tapas also does takeaway and delivery, along with Paella classes to give you some tips on cooking up your own feast. Pinchitos is the best tapas in London right now in our opinion.

Review: 4.5/5
