Chin wagging with wine and tapas at Bar 44

Recommended to this place by a fellow foodie. We needed a place for a good post-work chin wag after a hard week at work. The snazzy yet cozy decor and friendly staff as soon as you open the door was a lovely welcome. Not to mention the sight of a few jamon legs hanging from the ceiling – I knew I was at the right place.

Boquerones, Tomatoes with herb migas, Patata Bravas, Pulpo (Octopus) with a tomato and avocado salad, Padron peppers amongst other things were all delicious and perfect for grazing washed down with a delicious organic red wine.

The gooey, smelly Extremadura cheese (Baked torta de barros to share) is a must for baked camembert lovers.

The tortilla was interesting in that it was served slightly gooey in the middle. It’s an acquired texture and probably not one for those who don’t like runny eggs.

Lovely evening all in all. Happily eat (and drink) there again.
