With its “casual and elegant” style, “unbeatable central location” (off Carnaby Street) and “fabulous” Italian/Spanish tapas, this “bustling”, if “slightly cramped”, yearling may soon be even better-known that its brilliant elder brother, Salt Yard.

The critic finds this upmarket Soho tapas bar (which, coincidentally, is next door to Cha Cha Moon) “something of an oasis in a West End”, where multiple visits find “[not] a single disappointment”. She thinks it quite a “cool hangout” too, so the grading awarded does seem a touch parsimonious.

Mr Durack likes this “classy little place”, in Soho, which “swells the ranks of casual, produce-led Spanish-influenced diners such as Barrafina, Moro and Tapas Brindisa”. “Likeable and easy-going, it makes the produce the star.”

Mrs M visits the new Soho sibling to the celebrated Salt Yard tapas bar. She does one of those ‘shopping list’ pieces – mercifully rare nowadays – where her review is largely taken us in taking the reader in excruciating detail through what she ate.

“Sparkling tapas in Soho”, says the headline, and that’s certainly the gist of the long and very positive review of the the Salt Yard’s new offshoot.
