Where to Eat in Angel, Islington and Holloway Road - Eater London
"London has never quite got tapas right. Of course, the capital’s Spanish restaurants are frequently fantastic, but the more common method of enjoying them is to bed into a single location for a whole afternoon or evening, blitzing through pretty much the entire menu. Llerena is an advertisement for the more quintessentially Iberian practice of stopping in for a couple of really good things at a place that does them really well, then moving on elsewhere for a couple of other really good things, and so on. The stuff to go for here is simple: a range of cured meats, cheeses, and caldos (stews) that make the best possible use of prime-grade Extremadura produce. Perhaps skip the tortilla, and definitely tuck into more than a couple of pint-sized G&Ts, then toddle off elsewhere." - George Reynolds
