LONDON - SOUTH KENSINGTON - CAMBIO DE TERCIO - (POST 1)
CAMBIO DE TERCIO
Under Abel Lusa's long-term, excellent hospitality and guidance and chef Alberto Criado's (Twitter @Alberto_Criado) creative dishes, Cambio de Tercio has become a standard bearer for Iberian food in London. Most Hispanophiles consider it the best in town.
You can choose from the traditional tapas menu, an inventive á la carte menu, or the reasonably priced tasting menu.
On a recent visit, we had this tasting menu.
Andalusian gazpacho, steamed king prawns & cherry ice cream
Cod brandade, tomato water & cristal toast
New season white asparagus, almond vinaigrette & tarragon foam
Wild Cornish turbot roasted with sprouting broccoli, black olives & tomato
Roasted quail stuffed with Iberian pork, pickled purple kale & roasted quince fruit
Sweet Oloroso custard, meringue & tonka beans ice cream
White chocolate bonbon with passion fruit blast
A selection of tapas and main meals from a previous visit.
Jamón Ibérico de bellota
Patatas Bravas
Calamari with Alioli
Gambas a la plancha, aceite ajo y limon (king prawns "a la plancha" garlic, parsley oil)
Chuletillas de cordero a la parrilla, pure de patata con epinacas (Grilled lamb cutlets, thyme, Spinach mash)
Cochinillo (Suckling Pig)
A vegetarian-tasting menu is also available, which would be an infrequent occurrence in Spain!
You will also find some fun deserts like
The Wimbledon Special (tapioca powder yellow chocolate strawberries & cream)
The edible London underground map and oyster card!
The wonderfully long and varied Spanish wine list includes more than 500 labels from virtually every wine-growing region in Spain. From a pleasant cava from Juve y Camps to a block-busting (and pocket-busting) red like Vega Sicilia Reserva Especial or a Pingus 1995 (don't ask how much!)
It's always an enjoyable evening here, and you will likely bump into a famous footballer, tennis player or pop star. Service is informal and friendly.
There are two evening sittings - 7 pm and 9.15 pm
