Ordering Strategy

The upstairs Asador menu is built for sharing. Gather a large group to tackle the whole suckling pig or txuletón, and pad out the start of the meal with croquetas and tortilla.

What to order

Safe first

Galician Tortilla

This Basque-style omelette is synonymous with Chef Barragán; it is famously runny inside with lots of soft sliced potato and is considered some of the best Spanish food in London.

Hungry

Segovian Suckling Pig

The wood-fired crown jewel of the Asador that helped win the restaurant its site; it is a succulent, sharing-style centerpiece available by the quarter or whole.

Wildcard

Arroz con Salmonete

Described as 'mood lifting tongue nectar,' every grain of rice absorbs a complex, lustful stock to create layers of sweetness and deep savouriness.

Wildcard

Camerones Fritos

Tiny fried shrimp topped with a paprika-dusted fried egg; reviewers claim that 'not ordering it would be a sin against food.'
