Critic's choice: Where to Eat Croquetas

Spanish local: El Pirata is hidden away on Down Street, Mayfair
10 April 2012

Charles Campion tracks down the best places in London to eat croquetas.

El Pirata
5-6 Down Street, W1

Given its very Mayfair style and tucked-away location, El Pirata is often overlooked. A loyal clientele enjoy good tapas including different croquetas. Friendly service. £20pp ex-drinks (020 7491 3810).

Barrafina
54 Frith Street, W1

Crowded (what do you expect with 23 seats and no booking) but wildly successful tapas bar. Good tortillas, good fresh fish, good croquetas - just add a cold beer. £25pp ex-drinks (020 7813 8016).

Salt Yard
54 Goodge Street, W1

Why are croquetas confined to Spanish menus? Small, savoury rissoles usually made with cheese, here there are sometimes croquetas made with black pudding. £15pp ex-drinks (020 7637 0657).
