A glitzy, wood-fired temple to Valencian rice where theatrical paellas and open flames take center stage in a grand Fitzrovia setting.
Ordering Strategy
Paellas are served authentically thin (focused on the crispy socarrat base) and priced for sharing, so bring a group. Surprisingly, the Kale Citrus Salad is a must-order starter praised even by skeptical critics.
What to order
Paella Valenciana
Regarded as the 'best in town' by some and the 'star dish' by others, this traditional rice features chicken, rabbit, and garrofó beans with the highly-prized crispy 'socarrat' base.
Mediterranean Rice
A more substantial seafood alternative to the traditional meat versions, topped with cuttlefish, tiger prawns, monkfish, and served with a rich ñoras aioli.
Kale Citrus Salad
An unexpected standout that critics call a 'zinging marvel'; it features mixed Valencian citruses and a 'delightful and accomplished' tomato dressing that makes the kale truly delicious.
Giant Cookie
A theatrical and 'unmissable' social media favorite consisting of araguani chocolate, macadamia nuts, and vanilla ice cream.

Good to know
The restaurant is massive with a 6-metre wood-fired stove; sit at the counter to watch the action. It is pricey, with paellas ranging significantly in cost depending on toppings (lobster vs rabbit).
