Don Fernando's
27F The Quadrant
Richmond
Surrey
Tel: 020 8948 6447

With spring approaching there is no better place to escape to, than Richmond. With its array of bars, restaurants, riverside pubs and beautiful park, it certainly has a lot to offer.

Don Fernando's is a great Spanish restaurant which is worth stopping at before heading down to the river to continue the evening with a few drinks. It has a long wooden tiled bar with a range of brandies and sherries to sample and a good choice of wine and beers.

Dinner was a selection of tapas: gambas, albondigas, fabada, patatas bravas, tortilla española and chorizo. With such a variety to pick and choose from it's quite hard not to get carried away! Everything was delicious, particularly the fabada, a rich stew, typical to Asturias, of butter beans, chorizo, morcilla, onions and garlic.

Dessert was tarta de manzana - apple tart with a thin layer of pastry. Spanish tapas restaurants aren't generally noted for their desserts, and even though average, the tarta was the perfect end to a pleasant dinner in Richmond.
