Los Molinos

Charming Spanish Fare, Excellent Prices!

Venturing into Los Molinos is akin to stepping through an unassuming portal on the bustling streets of Hammersmith only to find yourself in a slice of lively Spain. The decor, while nostalgically quaint, strikes a balance between cozy charm and the sort of familiar yet unpredictable quirkiness that you'd admire in a distant uncle's tie collection. The Spanish music wafting through completes the ambiance, as the restaurant hums along with the vibrant chatter of satisfied diners. One can't help but notice the authentically attentive service — spearheaded by the stellar Jaime — that turns dining into more of an occasion than a mere meal.

The menu at Los Molinos spans a delightful array of tapas that could seduce any palate, even if you're coaxed along by a cheeky chorizo or Galician pulpo that's addictive enough to tattoo permanently on your taste buds. Sure, in a jest aimed more at old marriages than culinary processes, some dishes arrived with such zeal they were a tad lukewarm, but this could hardly suppress the delightful variety and generous portions proffered at merciful prices. Those longing for Sangria will find a poured glass evokes past Mediterranean holidays, complete with sun-soaked indulgences, albeit congenially indoors. Frequent mention of Jamie's keen hospitality suggests an era when service was as much craft as it was vocation, making room just a little tighter, and infinitely more treasured. Beware: ensuing contentment may render both trousers tight and criticism sparse! — Penelope Savory
