The three Michelin starred Valencian chef has opened the doors of his first restaurant outside of Spain, with rice at the heart of the offering. Speaking on the opening during one of his many visits to London, Quique has said, \u201cI am excited to bring part of our tradition and gastronomy to one of the most important capitals of the world. Paella is one of the best-known dishes around yet also one of the most mistreated, with this project, I am materializing a passion I have been nurturing for decades: to reinstate the rice culture from the eastern coast of Spain to its rightful home\u201d.<\/p>\n

Quique Dacosta opened Arros QD on Fitzrovia\u2019s 64 Eastcastle Street on the 7th June 2019. His first restaurant in London and outside of his native Spain, the collaborative project showcases Quique\u2019s unique style of cooking while highlighting his passion for rice as well as premium, local and seasonal ingredients.<\/p>\n

Going to London this summer and fancy a real authentic paella or one with a modern twist? Restaurant Arros QD is the place to visit!<\/em><\/p>\n

Quique\u2019s London restaurant focuses on rice, a product that does not currently have much presence in high-end gastronomy but has always been integral to the chef\u2019s cooking. One of the most recognized experts in the field, his book and treaty about rice, Arroces Contempor\u00e1neos, was published in 2005. An entire section of Arros QD<\/a>\u2019s menu devoted to rice includes dishes such as Paella Valenciana, a traditional take on the dish that includes Rabbit chop, chicken and butter beans, all cooked over a wood fire and using a variety of timbers to complement each dish. More contemporary rice dishes, highlighting premium and seasonal UK ingredients, include \u201cchapas\u201d such as Wood pigeon breast, wild mushrooms, rosemary, porcini aioli. All the rice dishes are designed to share, evoking a sense of familial ritual, comfort and tradition that Quique credits to rice dishes from around the world.<\/p>\n

The rest of the menu features innovative starters and a selection of meat, vegetable and fish mains that range from larger pieces cooked over fire or charcoal, to dishes using more vanguard techniques and elaborations. All dishes celebrate the premium produce of the British larder whilst showcasing the creative mark of the chef.<\/p>\n

To drink, Arros QD\u2019s wine list pays tribute to the wines that grow around the Mediterranean Sea, focusing on organic farms, along with premium wines from the most traditional regions of the world. A cocktail menu will be served in the bar and lounge area. A further category focuses on seasonal and locally sourced botanicals and fruits, all thoughtfully paired with unique spirits to bring out the best flavour.<\/p>\n

Arros QD has been designed by the highly-lauded Barcelonian studio, L\u00e1zaro Rosa-Viol\u00e1n<\/a>, showcasing an open kitchen that awards diners with views of the eight-metre flame grill upon which their rice is cooked. A sophisticated yet relaxed setting, the restaurant is set across two floors totaling 9000sqf and holding 140 covers, with four distinct areas including a lounge with bar seating, a more immersive chef\u2019s paella counter and a chef\u2019s table. Quique has surrounded himself with a range of professionals with a proven track record both in London and the international restaurant scene, including Head Chef Richard De La Cruz.<\/p>\n
