Definitely a must-stop if you want some great libations coupled with tasty bites.

Staff wanted to seat us in the open air part, close to the very front of the restaurant. Since it was hot, we asked for, and were accommodated at a table in the middle of the restaurant, under the needed air conditioning!! We started off with two tapas; the Padron Peppers, $87, and the White Anchovies, $74. While the pepper dish was ample in size, it was incredibly boring in taste. However, the large sardines were expertly seasoned and enjoyable. For our main, we shared a non-meat version of the Seafood Paella, $338. This was delicioso y mui excellante! For dessert, we shared a Date Pudding, $70. This too was excellent. See photos. All in all a very comfortable place to dine. Service was adequate, as the staff had an attitude, yet food was impressive, thus the rating of 4 stars.

If you like raw garlic (and to be fair, I do), then Iberico is the place for you. OK, so perhaps…read morenot the best way to draw you in, but bear with me, I am a fan - honest! Part of the Enoteca Group, Iberico is a Spanish and Portuguese tapas restaurant, located just off the esco below Elgin Street. Unlike it's older sister Enoteca, Iberico serves good food well, and has a pleasant and welcoming staff. The menu is primarily tapas, conveniently sectioned into veggie, seafood, and meats. But there are also mains (basically a variety of paellas), and an Iberico ham selection. For me and Mrs L, we always have the same things, and I believe this is testament to their good cooking. After all, why change something that's not broken? For us it's always; the pickled anchovies, a dozen quails eggs with salt and pepper, triple cooked patatas bravas, pan fried chorizo with duck egg, all rounded off with a seafood paella. They use liberal amounts of garlic, raw and cooked, so you better eat as much or as little as your date, otherwise there may be no special face time. The paella is great, lots of seafood, and just the right balance of rice. It always works out to just the right amount of each - no one wants a paella that's all rice and seafood now! The last cherry on top of the paella is the fact that the chef will happily make it without chorizo, since Mrs L doesn't eat things with faces, but also put the chorizo on a side dish for me, so I can mix it in myself. That is the mark of a true gentleman! To give an idea of costs, the seafood paella is HKD338, the veggie paella is HKD246, with the chicken one somewhere in between. Tapas dishes are around HKD100 each. Drinks are good; a decent selection of wine, and an even better selection of sangrias. I had no idea there were so many varieties! The staff there are great, always very welcoming and attentive. Even when it is rammed, they will try and squeeze in a walk in. They could do with updating their seating plans though, as the last time we went, we kept getting another tables food, and waving that much meat in fornt of Mrs L is not a good idea!

They also carry chorizo and salchichón, olive oil, sparkling water, wines and jars of anchovies. Everything was of very good quality! Just learned that they just had their soft opening in mid-November, not long ago! It's at the corner on the slope so it can easily be missed (and if you do, it's your big loss!) The shop is small but it's amazing how they can fit shelves of products, a bar table, a counter with blocks of ham displayed and being carved and even a small bathroom! Service was very friendly. Jason and Louisa are both friendly and knowledgeable. You're paying for extremely good quality ham that is carefully sourced and selected. So if you like to enjoy life a little, make a stop here to get some ham to pair with your wonderful wine!

It's my third times here. The reason of me coming back is mostly the sangria and the octopus in…read moregarlic olive oil (must try!), and don't you agree that tapas and sangria make the best pair to cheer you up after a hectic day? (tho I agree that beer & nachos make a great pair too) I never get enough of sangria, and with choices of different sizes, we can choose from a glass, 1 liter, or 2 liter. I cant remember the price but it's like HKD300ish for 2 liters, great deal indeed. It's interesting to find that most of the staff are locals, all of them are friendly and helpful. However the Spanish tapas are all authentic. My best picks are the crab cake, octopus in garlic olive oil and bread pudding with caramel ice cream. They are just so delicious and perfectly presented. I'm always so satisfied after having dinner here.

JAR Just A Restaurant located on Lyndhurst Terrace (Central, Hong Kong). It is inside the same…read morebuilding where one of my favourite outdoor patio and terrace roof garden is - Blck Brd Bar Lounge. JAR is rustic with exposed ceilings and industrial bare lightbulbs, brickwalls and rustic wooden floors. Clean, crisp white linen line the tables. My gf took us here whilst we were in town. After a month long diet on Asian cuisines, I was really looking forward to some Western classics and European contemporary comfort food. The menu was presented on a single fresh sheet with daily features on board at your table. Which reminds me a lot of The Refinery with their selection of appetizers and even the menu layout. Spiced Cauliflower: with spiced pepper yogurt. For those that follow our blog knows I have a tender soft spot for Nuba's Najib's Special (Crispy cauliflower tossed with lemon and sea salt). So it's expected that I make comparisons. Although soft and roasted with a smokey flavor, JAR just doesn't have that zing of acidic burst typical in the Middle Eastern dish. A valiant effort. Fried Normandy Camembert: Served with caramelized onions and a dash of truffle oil. A take on Saganaki, fried Camembert has a mild, slightly salty taste of buttery flavor and a slight crunch. Wild Mushroom and Truffle Pappardelle: Rich and flavorful with truffles, spores and cream. I do apologize for the horrid photos. I hadn't realized until now. I must have either been really intoxicated or feeling rushed and pressured to steal time while my childhood friend sat waiting. What? You don't understand my camera too right? Tiger Prawn Angelhair: Served with roasted cherry tomato sauce marinara sauce. The prawns were fresh and had nice bite and bounce. The sauce on the other hand was standard, nothing spectacular that wowed us. Smoked Dutch Eel Spaghetti: Pangrattato, garlic, chili and olive oil. I quite liked this dish with the earthy, robust and salty almost sardine/anchovy like seasoning on the eel. It was something different and included more elements and colors to the flavoring. All About Duck Pasta: Long flat egg pasta with duck confit, braised sweet leeks, duck fat and duck egg yolk. As David Chang would have it and I concur is that fat also has taste, bold flavoring in fact. And when done correctly, can elevate a dish that much more. Too much, and it will be drowning. The duck confit was soft and fatty. This is a very rich dish and I wish there was some acidity to contrast, lift and cut some fat. Hong Kong is really a beautiful city to visit. Not too sure I would live here given the workaholic lifestyle. But certainly, a foodie and shoppers heaven. Time like this, I wish I had carried my D90 out.

Seats are spacious too. Lets get to the food. 2 girls cannot order much so we have one Tapas - Tortilla Espanola, one Main - Spinach Spaghetti and one Dessert - Mochi Waffle. I cannot get any adjectives or phrases to express the taste. Maybe they all taste similar in some sense but I could taste the heart of the chef in these simple dishes. They are not roughly made to fill our stomachs. The balance of the dishes are just right. They are not cheap in some sense but definitely not over-priced. For the three dishes we ordered, the dinner costs us $350 for 2. Hope you enjoy the place as much as I do.
