Esquina

At Esquina, rustic wooden tables, warm lighting and a gentle hum of conversation set the scene for modern Spanish cuisine served in its most relaxed guise. The dishes are refined yet hearty: an organic egg in smoky chorizo broth balances richness with subtle spice; croquetas with delicate touches of chorizo Ibérico and piquillo pepper salsa are crisp, creamy and satisfying; and grilled sucrine lettuce delights with its charred sweetness. The Spanish suckling pig is a standout—tender, flavourful meat beneath crisp skin, complemented by subtle fruit chutney. Yet, it sits comfortably alongside the menu’s other inventive offerings, such as the luscious Hokkaido paella. Desserts provide the most unexpected pleasures: strawberries with aromatic basil sorbet refresh and intrigue, while the beer stout ice cream with banana bread is indulgent yet balanced.
