La Rueda Restaurant
About La Rueda Restaurant
La Rueda restaurant on London’s Tower Hill is the pretty, fashionable little sister of the three established La Rueda restaurants you already love. With al fresco tables overlooking the Tower of London and Tower Bridge - you’ve seen this view on postcard racks - this La Rueda makes the most of its remarkable location. Inside, the restaurant is a vast, bustling enterprise, with a see-and-be-seen wall of glass that takes in London’s mad activity outside. The core values of La Rueda have landed here intact: Spanish tapas so authentic it makes expats weep nostalgic tears, family ownership and care, smart and stylish décor, and live music from time to time to crank the ambience up a notch. La Rueda now serves the new modern Spanish cuisine like starter of Brandada de Sardinas or Huevos a la Flamenca and main courses like Fideua or Fillet Steak Navarra but not forgetting the favourite tapas like grilled sardines, chorizo in wine, jamon Serrano and main course of paella. The all-Iberian wine list includes some unusual wines to sample. Thursday is salsa night and they have live music on Friday nights.
