Iberica, 195 great Portland Street - a Spanish restaurant )opened September 2008) with knowledgeable Spanish staff, furniture and fittings imported from Spain and a nice little deli attached. Was there last Wednesday with Dougie-boy to sample the lunchtime Expressions menu (£16 which includes a glass of Tio Pepe). A few photos here with full details of Iberica's wine and tapas menu on Spittoon.

Just have to say though that, being a devotee of all things Spanish, this meal was superb. We met the owner and chatted to the chef, Santiago Guerrero (always a nice touch) about his use of the finest, freshest ingredients and his ambitions. Basically the sherry is matched with those ingredients that are traditionally tricky to pair well with wine - such things as artichoke and anchovies. Overall a marvellous selection and highly recommended.
