IBERICA in Spinningfields is a beautiful Spanish restaurant, with an amazing bar and two outdoor terraces. Quays News writer Kerry Cabbin tries its new Spring menu.

Stunning decor creates a great Spanish ambience at Iberica before diners even smell and taste the amazing menu,

My favourite was the asparagus toast and surprisingly I enjoyed the black rice squid dish, but would advise not to order this if on a date or business meeting.

IMG_5776JPGEven though I was feeling pretty full from the tapas, I could not leave without trying the dessert menu, ordering the caramelised Spanish rice pudding – delicious, Crema catalana foam – so good, and the churros with chocolate – if you love churros, these are for you. All of this was washed down with Ibericas signature drinks from their cocktail menu, the strawberry gin smash, got a thumb’s up from me.  It was a great evening and I was really impressed with the menu and food. The atmosphere was also inviting and we received fantastic customer service. I will definitely be heading back here again.
