Salt Yard restaurant, London, England, for Spanish style tapas

The first restaurant of this group which I visited (oops - one letter wrong and spellcheck turns visited into Soviets!) was the Dehesa. See my earlier review.














The set meal at Salt Yard for £37 is hardly a cheap deal of the day (compared to the place I reviewed earlier, Comptoir Gascon, at £20 including a cocktail to start). There's another set meal here at Salt Yard for £42.50.  Not a cut price set meal of three courses from simpler ingredients and small portions, like the sort that French restaurants offer, more like the Tasting menu and gourmet menu at luxury restaurants.

Handy menu translations:

Tapas:
Chorizo (z pronounced th as in crianza) Spanish sausage, like the Italian salami or French saucisson
Manchego - hard cheese, Spanish equivalent of cheddar, from the milk of ewes, female sheep
Proscuitto - sliced ham

Pudding:
ganache (French for jowl - what you get from eating too much) a mixture of chocolate and cream, used inside as a filling or outside as a sauce or on top as a glaze. Not to be confused with g r a n a c h e (French) and G a r n a c h a  in Spanish is a grape grown in both countries to make white, rosé or red wine. The extra r as a second letter for the g R a p e .

This branch is near Goodge Street station. (2 minutes walk). On the 'tube' or underground line

They sell a cookbook by the chef, at £30 if you pick it up from the restaurant, £35.55 or £36.55 if you want it posted depending on which system you choose.

That answers the question I often cannot not answer on TripAdvisor: Does this restaurant serve breakfast? The answer is no, unless you are eating your break fast (space between break and fast deliberate) at lunch time, and want to eat a brunch at noon.
