Fresh and relaxing is the only way to describe this lovely Spanish restaurant set on Birmingham's Brindley Place within an art gallery overlooking the canal areas and open bar where you can enjoy sherry and olives or a full tapas dinner. Inside it's clean and bright with an airy feel and it continues to please the lunchtime crowd or just about anyone who'd like to try some good, robust Spanish cooking.

An inventive menu makes sure it helps in infusing sociability amongst diners with a medley of tapas dishes such as red pepper with anchovies, cured ham, Spanish omelette and Catalan olives. Main courses demonstrate an interesting blend of flavours; chorizo with chickpeas, sherry and tomato sauce, sardines with capers and olives, and roasted vegetables with a basil dressing. Well presented desserts include crème Catalana, pastry with almond filling and chocolate praline truffle.
