Eneko at One Aldwych
Eneko at One Aldwych is conveniently located in the heart of London, south of Covent Garden on the corner of the Strand and Aldwych. The restaurant serves contemporary Basque dishes by three Michelin-starred chef Eneko Atxa. February saw the launch of a new brunch menu served on Saturday and Sunday. TLE went to check out Eneko?s take on one of the UK?s favourite weekend meals.
Background and Concept
Eneko has taken inspiration from the rich gastronomic heritage and traditional flavours of his home town of Bilbao and the surrounding region to build a brunch menu that bypasses the common staples of eggs benedict and pancakes. Located down two flights of stairs, the restaurant benefits from a glass atrium that streams in light from above. The ambience is in keeping with the contemporary theme of the food with modern furnishings in rustic, earthy colours of cream, beige, red and brown.
The Menu
The menu is divided under four headings – Euskal Azoka (street food), Gallinero (eggs), Txoko (Classics) and Asador (Grill). Guests are encouraged to choose from all sections and share dishes in the communal spirit of Spanish gatherings. There is also a list of enticing Aperitivos (brunch drinks). We enjoyed the Cava ? and why not, as a complimentary glass is included with the brunch menu. However, Patxarini ? Pacharan, coconut rum and coffee – sounded like a good hangover appeasing alternative to the traditional Bloody Mary.
The Food
As instructed by our amiable waiter Seba...
