Harden's says
Spanish twins Alberto and Arian Zandi have opened their third London restaurant; this Mayfair site is a Spanish restaurant, joining their pan-Latin American debut, Zuaya in Kensington High Street, which launched in 2018, and Como Garden, which opened next door to Zuaya in 2020.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Madrid-born Arian and Alberto Zandi added this new Mayfair venture to their portfolio (alongside Zuaya and Como Garden) in November 2021. On the plus side, results from the Spanish menu can be excellent. On the downside, the bill here can mount and feedback is sufficiently up-and-down to preclude a fully wholehearted endorsement.
Summary
“Top-class Hispanic cuisine is served in an atmosphere of easy luxury” at this Mayfair yearling from Spanish twins Alberto and Arian Zandi – their third London restaurant following Zuaya and Como Garden in Kensington. “Both taste and texture of the food are spot on”, but even fans who say “it really is a super restaurant” can fret that “prices are a bit out of control” (but for the most part feel “you get what you pay for”).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
