Spanish chef with a flair for global flavours provides menu of interesting bites with a mix of classics

There is something wonderfully joyous about Tābú Tapas, which chef Rodrigo Gonzalez opened with his ecologist wife, Dr Amanda Greer.

Tapestries from Cusco, Chancay burial dolls, Inca masks, a Puerto Rican tin rooster and more are on display throughout the room. Photograph: Dylan Vaughan Padron peppers are always good with a beer or a cocktail and they arrive gently charred, dusted with salt and cayenne pepper, served with a spicy red pepper dip which has a nice touch of acidity. The pan de yuca has got my attention, described as mini cheesy buns made with tapioca flour. Four of them arrive, they are quite dense but absolutely delicious with a filigree of frazzled cheddar around the edges adding to the savoury flavour.

Baby Gem hearts are dipped in puffed quinoa and are served standing-up with a side dish of High Bank Orchard vinaigrette. It’s a different way to serve salad I guess, but I think I would prefer to have the leaves already tossed in the dressing. It is the least interesting of the dishes I try.
