Lovely experience
According to the sign-age, El Nido is a Spanish restaurant. Maybe it's my ignorance, but I was expecting more dishes that you'd find on a tapas menu.
Having said that, the £14.95 set priced 3 course menu was a delight. My starter of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon was really tasty. The trout with butter and parsley sauce which followed was also very very nice. The chocolate cake that finished off the evening was light and moussy.
We quaffed back a 1/2 bottle of Rioja with the meal, which was really the only Spanish thing we had all night.
The place seems to be family run and had a wonderfully inviting, lively atmosphere.
If you don't enjoy the set menu, your bill could get very expensive very quickly, as the cheapest main course is around £12 alone.
