Harden's survey result
Summary
Whole legs of lamb and great ribs of beef roasted Spanish-style on the parilla are the star turns at this spacious venue from Tom & Owen Morgan – and even the bread arrives charred. With its “great food and service”, the outfit celebrates the Hispanic cuisine the brothers have championed in the 21 years since founding their Bar 44 group.
Summary
A moodily lit, cavernous venue run by Tom & Owen Morgan of the Bar 44 group; victuals revolve around Spanish-inspired stuffs singed on the parilla grill, be it the well-priced lunchtime 'plato del dià', or 'La Ventana', an evolving array of whole wild fish, seafood, speciality meats and seasonal vegetables cooked over wood. An almost wholly Spanish drinks list seals the deal.
Summary
An “almost entirely Spanish drinks list” deconstructed by an “excellent sommelier” sets the tone at Tom & Owen Morgan’s – of ‘44’ group fame – three-year-old flagship, with its own dedicated wine cave. “A wonderful experience from beginning to end”, the food is consistently highly rated, with Spanish and Welsh produce singed on the parilla grill over different sorts of wood (think 70-day dry-aged Rubia Gallega chuletón steaks).
