Rebato's

Altogether a very buzzy place, even if the restaurant is a trifle more formal by comparison with the rest, however, it boasts an genuinely Spanish, reasonably priced, three course menu at £17.40. Though most aficionados hole up in the tapas bar and watch the steady stream of politicians working their way through to the back where presumably secrets of state are liable to survive a little longer than they might at the bar. The atmosphere is truly authentic and that includes the superb tapas - like whitebait, grilled sardines, boquerones (fresh anchovies in olive oil and garlic), prawns in garlic, mussels, octopus, albondigas (meatballs) or rinones al jerez (kidneys in sherry) - that are renowned for their value and quality. Even the Spanish music lives up to standard. House wine at £10.50 plus a good list with many by the glass.
