Latest critic review: June 17, 2010
Spanish part of the aqua complex on Regent Street...
The spanish restaurant at London's high-profile Aqua restaurant offers both a tapas and a-la-carte menus. Head chef here is Salamancan Alberto Hernandez trained at El Bulli. The selling point here though is the restaurant's two terraces offering fantastic views over central London.

Sunday Times Reviewed on December 13, 2009 "The menu is a promise of fiddliness and front-teeth chewing. I started with an egg yolk in jelly; it was like a big wine gum of pus, only not that nice. It was cheek-puffingly foul." READ REVIEW
Jay Rayner
Observer Reviewed on October 17, 2009 "At the end I asked my companion a question I often table: would you come back here again and spend your own money? No, she said, because almost every single dish had a problem. I am minded to agree." READ REVIEW

Time Out Reviewed by October 15, 2009 "The prices are fair for a smart place with perfectly adequate cooking, but the service still needs to brush up." READ REVIEW

Dos Hermanos Reviewed on October 03, 2009 "To be honest I think this is as good as the food is going to get so I’m not sure why you’d choose Aqua Nueva over the myriad of other Spanish joints now open all over W1." READ REVIEW

Harden's Reviewed on October 01, 2009 "If – and this seems to us to be a big if – they can get the beautiful people in, this fringe-of-Soho, fringe-of-Carnaby Street (but also fringe-of-Oxford Street) spot could become a really happening sort of rendezvous, the sort in which you might film a London episode of Sex and the City."
