Ember Yard: Restaurant review - the team behind Salt Yard, Opera ...

This, the fourth restaurant from the Salt Yard group, is the very emblem of the capital's ever-burgeoning food scene.

There are large plates to share, bar snacks, charcuterie, cheese and tapas split into five fish, five meat and seven vegetables dishes.

The padron peppers (£4.25) are similarly sweet and spicy, and the grilled flatbread with honey, thyme and smoked butter (£2.95) has a charcoal flavour without being properly burnt, like much of the stuff here.

It's the messiest dish that I like best: a smoked beef burger with Idiazabal (a cheese from sheep's milk) and chorizo ketchup (£7).

A few weeks after launch, there is the unmistakable buzz of a new opening; and though it's not yet scaled the culinary heights of its three siblings, Ember Yard gives every indication of being a pleasing fixture for years to come.

The tapas are complemented by charcuterie and cheese boards and we have a wide selection of excellent wines and sherries.

Flexibility is key to Salt Yard.

Customers can enjoy a full spread of tapas: or come in simply for a glass of red wine and a plate of cheese, a coffee and a delicious pudding, or even just a perfect martini and a handful of Marcona almonds.

The Salt Yard review – The best tapas in Fitzrovia? | The Picky Glutton

Although I visited sister restaurant The Opera Tavern a couple of months ago, I have only just had the chance to revisit The Salt Yard dragging along The Flame Haired Squelchie, Weyoun and January to help me out.

I couldn’t come to The Salt Yard without ordering the signature dish that impressed me so much the first time I ate there – courgette flowers stuffed with goats cheese and drizzled with honey.

January’s choice of chargrilled bread and olive oil may seem uninspired, but even here The Salt Yard managed to put a twist on it.

January and the Squelchie skipped dessert, but I couldn’t resist trying out The Salt Yard’s version of churros, deep fried dough sticks served with dipping chocolate that’s popular both in Spain and Mexico.

It’s not cheap and while rival Barrica does have some excellent dishes of its own, overall The Salt Yard really is the best tapas in Fitzrovia.

Salt Yard restaurant review 2007 June London | Spanish Cuisine ...

A good example of this was a salad of Cornish crab, the crab meat covered with a layer of tender peas and baby broad beans and garnished with pea shoots; this simple dish had excellent ingredients which worked well together (15/20).

Tuna tartare with broad beans and green salsa was very pleasant, but the best dish was a chorizo with haricot beans and tomatoes.

The wine list is a little unbalanced, mostly Spanish and Italian, and flipping from sub £30 wines quickly up to very serious wines like Gaja and Unico, with not much in between.

Tortilla i.e. Spanish omelette had good texture (13/20) while tiger prawns char-grilled with chilli and rosemary were served in their shells and on a skewer of rosemary (14/20).

Tuna carpaccio with baby broad beans and salsa verde beans had good quality tuna, tender beans and a pleasant though not dazzling salsa (14/20).

The food, however, was a little underwhelming in that there are better tapas to be had in other places at (just) lower prices.

Salt Yard | Restaurants in Fitzrovia, London

Over the past couple of years, London has seen countless tapas joints open, but Salt Yard – one of the pioneers of the capital’s new Spanish scene, and forefather of Dehesa and Opera Tavern – remains among the best.

Although there are always notable Italian touches on the regularly changing menu, among them minor variations on stuffed courgette flowers or a fine affogato, the kitchen’s skill and attention to sourcing really come to the fore in pitch-perfect Spanish tapas.

And our waitress, clearly new to the job, was struggling a little, but some discreet steering by a senior colleague kept the occasion good-humoured.
