Spanish$$

This suave subterranean space is a den of inky corners,ringside seats at the bar and generous lounges – choose a spot to suit your mood. While upstairs sibling restaurantMarmelo is an ode to Portugal,down here it’s all about Spanish snacking,from the bikini (Barcelona’s answer to a ham and cheese toastie) to mackerel escabeche and a multicoloured take on pan con tomate called “two tomatoes on toast”. Drinks aren’t afraid to break rules:see the bergamot and apple margarita that’s boosted by Calvados.

Perfect for:Breakaway drinks with your inner circle when the official Christmas party is over.
