El Cantara
About El Cantara
Located in Frith Street, El Cantara is the epicentre of Soho’s Spanish and Moroccan communities. Much-loved for its authentic fare, this is a true neighbourhood restaurant where people meet to share good food, good company and lots of laughter. We love El Cantara for its eclectic crowd, welcoming atmosphere, and traditional menu filled with classic Spanish and Moroccan dishes. Favourites include the Charmoula Sardinas - oven-baked sardines served with a mixed herb crust; the Jawaneh - grilled chicken wings in a fragrant orange and paprika marinade; and the Moroccan lamb tagine. El Cantara has a wine list with bottles from Spain, France and Chile which is annotated with helpful tasting notes.
