Fluid Eating's Review of Casa Brindisa
Casa Brindisa opened its kitchens under the guidance of chef José Pizarro in the heart of South Kensington near to the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Casa Brindisa brings the familiar and popular tapas menu of their Borough market tapas (Tapas Brindisa at London Bridge) to Kensington: padrón peppers, battered cod, Catalan spinach, prawns in garlic and many more. Although all the Brindisa Tapas Kitchens will share many dishes, they will feature an individual variety at any one time.
Casa Brindisa benefits from a delicatessen in the basement and offers the widest range of Brindisa’s Spanish cheeses of all the sites. There is a Jamonería on the ground floor, making a full range of cured hams and charcuterie available both on the menu and to the shopper.
Casa Brindisa is a place with many spaces, hence its name. There is a bar area, informal tapas area, ham carving counter and a room with seating, giving you full view of the open kitchen bar. Casa should evoke an interest in food and the making of food, be it at home or on the land.
For the last twenty years, Brindisa, an adventurous food importer, has sourced some of the finest foods from Spain.
