El Rey de la Casquería Javier Abascal (Lalola) and Javier Vargas (former chef at Puro) have joined forces to create this very Andalusian restaurant that is both contemporary and traditional. This combination is also reflected in the warm and inviting décor. The menu is short but very well balanced, with daily specials.
What did we love? Well, pretty much everything, though standout dishes for me were the baked avocado with tomato tartare and cheese foam, the Cantabrian anchovies on toasted brioche with sheep butter (!) and the morcilla braised in dark malt with hasselbacks – wow. We also loved the fritos – the daily fried fish. And be sure to try at least one “plato jondo” such as the pochas with octopus, pig ear and smoked chorizo oil.
Sommelier Paula Muñoz has prepared a delightful list of Andalusian, national and international wines, and a great front of house team give professional and friendly service.
There will be a tasting menu coming up soon.
