Hispania - Spanish Restaurant in The City, London

Hispania
Cheval Calico House is near Hispania Restaurant in The City.

Hispania is a new, high ceilinged, vault-like restaurant in the centre of the Square Mile, and yet it has captured the comfort and warmth of an intimate, long-time favourite taverna.

The dining room is beautifully lit and a golden glow fills the space; seating is spaced in that way that makes you feel in the middle of the buzz without being overlooked or overheard. The menu politely carries some reliable tapas dishes, but doesn’t shy away from bolder choices and the less familiar.

The Ibérican ham is sublime – opt for the hand carved when you order, and the cheese board is a really strong selection of fine Spanish cheeses.

The team advises that we try both the Ham and Hispania variants – the latter a punchier, meatier version but both fried golden brown with a delicious crunch.

The Gambas Al Ajillo are crispy and pungent with the garlic – really addictive. But here is the shining star: Arroz Negro. The rice peppered with finely chopped prawns and cuttlefish and beautifully seasoned and coloured with the squid ink.
It is delicately flavoured, well cooked and the bite on the small fried sea food nuggets a great contrast to the warm, juicy, fat rice grains.

We would recommend Hispania for office parties as much as I would for first dates – a rare combination of uses. Hispania offers authentic Spanish food in London.

Cheval Three Quays Marks Remembrance Day with a donation to the British Legion

Image
Crowds gather to witness the nightly ceremony at the Tower of London. To mark the centenary of the end of the First World War, Cheval Three Quays has pledged to donate a week’s profits from two of its apartments facing the Tower of London to the Royal British Legion charitable fund. The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support for the Armed Forces community – serving men and women, veterans and their families. Many of the building’s apartments face directly onto the 1,000 year-old castle, offering a unique perspective of the moving tribute taking place until the 11 th  November, as 10,000 flames are lit in the moat on a nightly basis. The installation, entitled ‘Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers’, is intended to honour the sacrifice of the many who fell during the four-year conflict. A Beefeater, as the ex-service personnel who work at the Tower of London, are known, stands watch as the flames are lit one by one. The Cheval Three Quays building l
