"A seafood-led restaurant with Galician ambitions is set to open on Berwick Street, showcasing langoustines, crabs and lobsters prepared with Spanish/Basque stylings built around a specials board. It is the third London venture for chef-operator Stephen Lironi, who also runs Stoke Newington’s Escocesa and tapas sibling Bar Esteban in Crouch End, and promises to carry the same Scottish-seafood-served-in-Spanish-stylings formula from N16. Expect simple neighbourhood Iberian dishes such as gambas al ajillo and pulpo, paired with Basque txakolina for an unpretentious dinner. The company was incorporated in June 2021, the site is replacing Yumchaa at the same address, and the restaurant is currently recruiting staff with an opening likely in a few weeks or months." - James Hansen
