Now, I know Spain is a mere two-hour flight from London – four hours, at a stretch – but the last time I tried to go to Barcelona was this summer and with air fares on an uphill climb (just like everything else, really) it was prohibitively expensive. Which means I have to find my Spanish food fixes here in London, preferably in restaurants that aren’t just as prohibitively expensive as a Ryanair flight with no carry-on luggage or seat included.
El Norte is not the place to go if you’re after an affordable Spanish meal. Granted, it is located in Mayfair, where “affordable” is a dirty word. I would usually have no business even sniffing the air in the neighbourhood. However, I graciously accepted an invitation to review El Norte because a girl’s gotta eat and this girl wants a treat.
