Stylish and quietly sophisticated, this fine place inhabits a converted Zafra townhouse with a bar for pre- or post-dinner drinks or tapas and a contemporary dining space where you order Spanish staples such as oxtail, with a few surprises thrown in (eg chutney or satay sauce with local meats). Tapas dishes are similarly creative, such as crunchy prawns with yoghurt sauce.
