LONDON - SOUTH KENSINGTON - CAMBIO DE TERCIO

CAMBIO DE TERCIO


Under Abel Lusa's excellent hospitality and guidance, this restaurant has been a long-standing favourite in South Kensington for many years and has become a standard-bearer for Iberian food in London. Most Hispanophiles consider it the best in town.

On this occasion, we sat down, wrapped up on a reasonably chilly lunchtime, starting with a glass of Amontillado or Cava.


Followed by,


Pan cristal y Cinco Jotas Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 100% (Jabugo)

Five Jotas Iberian Ham and tomato bread.

Boquerones en vinagre con pepino y rabanitos

Anchovies pickled in sherry, cucumber and radish.

Merluza frita con alioli de ajos silvestres.

Hake, marinated Andalusian style, with wild garlic alioli sauce.

Patatas bravas elegantes.

The elegant patatas bravas.

Jamón croquetas.

Ham croquettes.

Gambas al ajillo

Garlic and chilli prawns

Nigiri crujiente de salmon con soja dulce y chipotle picante.

Crispy salmon nigiri, sweet soya sauce, spicy chipotle.

Pulpo a la brasa, crema de patatas y vinagreta de chilli, alcaparras y pimenton..

Flame-grilled octopus, creamed potatoes, chilli, capers and paprika vinaigrette.

Pluma Ibérica a la brasa con piña asada y ciruelas.

Pluma (a cut from the shoulder of the Iberian black pig) with roast pineapple and prunes.

Coulant de avellana con helado de vainilla

Hazelnut coulant with vanilla ice cream

Alphonso Indian mango con helado de arándanos y lima.

Alphonso Indian mango, blueberry ice cream and lime.

We ended with a glass of Enrique Mendoza Moscatel and a carajillo (espresso with a touch of brandy).

The amazingly long and varied Spanish wine list includes over 500 labels from virtually every wine-growing region in Spain. From the pleasant cava of Juvé y Camps to a blockbusting (and pocket-bursting) red, like Vega Sicilia Reserva Especial or a Pingus 1995 (don't ask how much!)

During the meal, we had two wines, Don Quintin Ortega 2017 (90% Viura 10% Malvasia) D.O.Rioja.

We all agreed this was one of the best white Riojas we had tasted.

Batan 2014 (100% Tempranillo) Vino de la Tierra de Castilla.

It is always enjoyable here, and you are likely to see someone famous. The sister restaurant opposite Tendido Cero was also busy.
