There’s a highly anticipated opening in London and
it needs to go to the top of your bucket list. Arros
QD is Quique Dacosta’s first restaurant outside his
native country, Spain, and the 140-seater highlights
the chef’s passion for rice (specifically Spanish).
There’s an entire menu section devoted to sharing
plates such as Paella Valenciana (£35), and Wood
Pigeon Breast, Wild Mushrooms, Rosemary, Porcini
Aioli chapas (£24 for small, £42 for large); the latter
is named after the tray in which the ingredients are
cooked. Not only is the food prepared on an open
wood burning stove, each dish is also cooked over a
particular timber like oak, pine, and vine to impart
distinctive aromas.
The rest of the menu features innovative
starters and a selection of meats, vegetables and
fish mains that are either cooked over fire or
charcoal. 64 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8NQ.
