Hide AdIt was about a bar in London that serves INCREDIBLE-looking croquetas - and it’s been living rent-free in my head ever since.
Bar Kroketa, actually has two premises in London, one in Beak Street Soho and another at St Christopher’s Place.

It is billed as ‘the best Spanish bar in London’ and from the pictures I’ve seen I can understand why.

Menu highlights include the decadent black squid ink with aioli croquetas and delectable frittatas.

The tapas bar has a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 on TripAdvisor and has earned many positive reviews.
Living The Dream Review wrote: “I wouldn’t hesitate to return here. The service and food were superb. This is definitely a 5-star place overall. I had the squid ink croquettes, the sobrasada and honey croquettes, and a beautiful glass of Rioja.”

It's in a great location and the windows allow you to see all that is happening around the restaurant. The food is delicious and the staff is excellent!”
With the right wind behind it, I can see this becoming one of London’s hottest dining spots.
So on that note, I’m booking a reservation right now for my next date night - before it gets overrun with celebs!
