London's famed Taperia Barrafina lends its expertise to the menu at this bar and restaurant, a sultry and sophisticated boozer drenched in handsome dark interiors and a nightly crowd of the city's swishest and sexiest it-kids.

Drinks here feature nothing less than robust Spanish reds and sherries, best savoured on their own though no one will mind a little cocktail, like the Rebujito, a Spanish classic made with dry sherry and lemonade. The food, though, is why you're here, and hopefully with a group of friends to best work your way through the comprehensive menu. Think flavourful bites like Padron Peppers and Pan Con Tomate (crusty baguettes slathered with fresh tomato relish) to kick off the meal. Eventually, graduate to heftier plates like a grilled Spanish Carabinero Prawn served on an umami rich bisque, or the Spinach & Pear Salad, a beautiful salad composed with premium ingredients like aged Spanish cheese, mature balsamic vinegar, pecans, fresh pomegranates, and baby spinach. Meat comes in the form of perfectly tender Spanish Lamb Cutlets served with a punchy Romanesco sauce and seasonal vegetables. To sweeten the evening, if you've not already been chugging sherry like a fish, end off with that classic Spanish dessert: a perfectly sugar-encrusted Flan, all creamy custard and lashings of salted caramel.

Nothing is quite as sexy as Spanish food, and in one of the city's sexiest locations, we think you're going to be a little hot under the collar. (Apr 2018)

"The kitchen team at Cassio - after training at the London headquarters - is adept (and lightning quick we might add) at preparing some of Barrafina's signature dishes, from the thick and fluffy Spanish omelettes resembling wheels of cheese to the crispy croquettes and even the courgette flower, which at Cassio is stuffed with Alaskan crab and mushrooms, fried up like tempura, and served with a zingy tomato sauce." -Lifestyle Asia

"Surprisingly, one of the more stunning selections came in the form of the spinach and pear salad with Idiazabal cheese, pecan nuts, pomegranate and 15-year-old balsamic vinegar. Every element is a thrill: the verdant, crisp baby spinach, the light and excellently caramelised pecan nuts and the fruity tang of the pomegranate all working harmoniously with the slightly smoky, buttery sheep cheese." -Hong Kong Tatler
