New Restaurant Review: Aqua Nueva
Londonist, March 15, 2010 3:00 PM
For the most part, Nueva‘s menu impresses. On our visit, we started with an eloquently constructed huevo pochado con migas de pastor y consomé (poached egg with pancetta, paprika-fried breadcrumbs and beef consommé) which set our expectations for the rest of the meal scrumptiously high. A main course of presa parrilla con chimichurri (roast Iberian neck of pork marinated with chimchurri) competently met the standard set by those fine tasting migas. Other dishes, such as a refined tapa serving of morcilla and the oxtail main, were certainly edible but didn’t come nearly as close to overwhelming us. However, we absolutely adored our bottle of 2006 Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero and found Nueva’s Spanish-led wine list a compelling read. Too stuffed for dessert, Londonist nevertheless had room to knock back a glass of sherry and were pleased indeed to end such a lovely meal with a syrupy quaff of Alvear Montilla.
