We've tried many tapas restaurants in London and only a select few are worth going back to or even worth lining up for 45 minutes at a no reservation policy venue (we're crazy I know, for good food that is).. Casa Brindisa is now one of our high contenders. We've actually been to one of their other restaurants in Soho, Tapas Brindisa but don't remember it being this good.
En route to our amazing Spanish feast we stopped off at a couple of favourite local bars, the first stop was Brinkley's which is just off Fulham Road. Brinkley's deserves it's own post so I won't go into too much information just yet but what I can tell you is that the bartender made me a mean Cosmopolitan and since we were there between 5pm and 7pm happy hour it cost a whole £5.50. Great huh?? As you can tell Andy opted for a manly beer.
The next stop was Eclipse on Walton Street, another favourite spot which deserves it's own post.. but if you are familiar with Eclipse you will know that they are famous for their Watermelon Martinis.. if you're not familiar with Eclipse I recommend you get acquainted ASAP. It's a super cute cocktail bar in South Kensington, right around the corner from our final destination. As you can see, this time Andy opted for a more fruity drink.. a Watermelon Martini is irresistible.
Welcome to Andy & Tanya's table at Casa Brindisa..
