Num almoço com amigos ficámos a conhecer o El Gordo de Velázquez, o restaurante do chef José Maria Ibáñez o mesmo que ajudou o famoso Jockey a ser um êxito. E não há melhor cartão de visita que este, o facto de poder comer os pratos de um bom cozinheiro a um preço acessível. Como o nome indica fica na Calle de Velázquez em pleno bairro de Salamanca, com uma “terraza” acolhedora para os dias mais quentes e um espaço interior refinado ainda que descontraído.
In a lunch with friends we got to know the El Gordo de Velázquez, the restaurant chef José Maria Ibáñez the same who helped the famous jockey to be a success. And there is no better business card than this, that you can eat the dishes of a great cook at an affordable price. As the name implies it is on Calle de Velázquez in Salamanca neighborhood, with a welcoming terrace for warmer days and a refined interior space yet relaxed.


We are at a small table in a corner near the bar on the top floor they have a restaurant that we never got to see. I ordered one of the dishes of the day, roast beef sandwich that was great and it was a good deal, almost recommend sharing and eat with a salad. The other course was a meat pie that was fine. It’s a relaxed place in the center of Bath where we took the opportunity to make a quick meal and save time to visit the city.

O nosso primeiro Fish & Chips em Londres foi no Pride of Paddington, o pub do bairro. O nosso hotel ficava em Paddington e no primeiro dia ás três da tarde a fome era mais que muita, foi quando encontrámos este Pub que também é uma pensão, prometem camas a partir de 19 libras por noite. Foi remodelado em 2011 mas mantém o seu espírito de pub tradicional com uma carta onde o Fish & Chips, os Sunday Roast e as Shepperd Pie marcam presença.
Our first Fish & Chips in London was in the Pride of Paddington, the neighborhood pub. Our hotel was located in Paddington and on the first day at three o’clock we were starving, that’s when we found this Pub which is also a pension that promises beds from 19 pounds per night. It was renovated in 2011 but retains its spirit of traditional pub with a menu in which the Fish & Chips, the Sunday Roast and Shepperd Pie are present.

Em Londres temos que comer Fish & Chips e dizem que o melhor é o do Poppies, prémios e elogios não lhe faltam. Não somos especialistas na matéria nem andámos a provar todos da cidade mas foi sem dúvida o melhor que comemos no de Spitafields, com um suculento peixe envolto numa fritura crocante com porções para gente com muita mas muita fome. Além disso o Poppies tem história, foi fundado por Pop Newland em 1952 exatamente neste bairro numa altura em que Londres ainda recuperava da II Guerra.
In London we have to eat Fish & Chips and say the best is the Poppies, awards and accolades recommend it. We are not experts in the field or we weren’t tasting all of the city but it was certainly the best we eat in this on in Spitalfields, with a juicy fish wrapped in crispy fried batter with servings for people that must be very hungry. Also the Poppies has history, was founded by Pop Newland in 1952 exactly in this neighborhood at a time when London was still recovering from World War II.
