Stoke Newington, Spanish Restaurant Guide

An “excellent Stokey local”, “deservedly very popular” for its Spanish tapas, in particular its “absolutely wonderful fish”: its Glasgow-born founder, former record producer Stephen Lironi, has made it his mission to intercept some of the top-quality Scottish fish usually exported to Spain. One quibble this year: “surely it’s time to upgrade the school chairs”. Top Tip – “half-price oysters before 7pm”.
