Ortega

About Ortega

About Ortega restaurant in London we can only say this: skip the flight to Spain and cab over to Smithfield instead where this brilliant cantina-style tapas bar is waiting. With all the warm colours of the Iberian sunshine and the sleek modern design of Spanish style, Ortega is the perfect spot to while away the hours, relaxing and sharing platters of tapas, Spanish beers, sangrias and Latin wines while waves of salsa and flamenco wash over you. Signature dishes must surely be the favourite chicken skewers, garlic prawns and garlic bread, though you might tuck into a paella or linger over a crema catalana. Brilliantly laid-back atmosphere.
