The English summer is a capricious thing, but when the sun shines this is a great place to be

It’s tipping it down outside, the rain is so loud it can be heard over the Mariachi band that’s doing it’s best to bring some south American cheer to Aqua Nueva’s bar.

Just before the downpour at this press opening, we got a glimpse of the restaurant’s brand new summer terrace, in collaboration with Casamigos Tequila, and it’s gorgeous with tropical plants in bright and bold colours, a smart outside bar, and one of the best views across central London.

From the bar come colourful cocktails, featuring Casamigos Tequila with Tommy’s Margarita with Casamigos Reposado Tequila, lime and agave; A Dream Come True, pairing Blue Curacao with Casamigos Blanco and lime; and the Melon Crush with Casamigos Blanco, lime and Midori. 

Never drink on an empty stomach, so we eat plenty of tapas including sobrassada bocaditos with manchego and honey; crispy baby squid; as well as Aqua Nueva’s lauded croquetas – accompanied by the Mariachi sounds high above Regent Street. 

Dishes available on the terrace menu include starting snacks of smoked almonds and gordal olives, followed by the likes of sobrassada bocaditos with manchego and honey; gambas al ajillo; and crispy baby squid with squid ink mayonnaise; while Aqua Nueva’s lauded croquetas, served on a platter for guests to share, include ham, black seafood, manchego and mushroom.
