Galician-inspired dishes, pan con tomate, fresh local ingredients
"A gloriously on-trend spot combining wood-fired grilling with vibrant, smack-you-in-the-face flavours." - Andrew Young
"A Spanish-inflected bistro in Marylebone, London, offering Galician-inspired dishes with a focus on fresh, local ingredients."
"Pan con tomate, Cantabrian anchovies We’ve gone on two-week holidays where our daily step count stayed in single digits and our alcohol units were permanently in double digits. And yet, we have never looked even remotely as chilled-out as these chunky Cantabrian lads. Their chaise longue of choice is a sweet and vibrant formation of garlic, peppery olive oil and Louboutin-red tomatoes, which makes total sense considering it’s from Lita, a Mediterranean restaurant in Marylebone that functions as a St. Tropez-style getaway.

"This Mediterranean restaurant in Marylebone prides itself on a lavish decadence that could seem vulgar if the extortionate food wasn’t so goddamn delicious. The room has a warm amber hue and it’s hard not to lean in from the very first bite of moreish pan con tomate. Flavours at Lita don’t introduce themselves, they charge like an elephant with a thirst for Old Fashioneds and salt. The move is to share some smaller plates at one of the many lively counters, and go for a Galician beef rib or a whole turbot in a group. Just try not to think about the bill." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Richness runs through Lita’s veins like butter pulsing through every ridge of its lardo-draped morel mushrooms. The Mediterranean restaurant in Marylebone prides itself on a lavish decadence that could seem vulgar if the extortionate food wasn’t so goddamn delicious. The room has a warm amber hue to it—fitting given that most people dining here look at a packet of Kerrygold and assume it’s gold leaf—and it’s hard not to lean in from the very first bite of moreish pan con tomate. Share smaller plates at one of the many lively counters, and go for a Galician beef rib or a whole turbot in a group. Just try not to think about the bill." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
