Elche Restaurante de Tapas

About

Elche Restaurante de Tapas may sound somewhat exotic a place for Leytonstone, but that’s because it’s a Spanish restaurant named after the Lady of Elche, an ancient Iberian sculpture. As colourful on the inside as it is on the outside, this charismatic place serves a generous range of good value hot and cold tapas, many of them vegetarian. Specials include crab claws in bread crumbs, and house salad. The best night to go is Friday night when flamboyant flamenco is performed from 8.45pm. Apparently, to really appreciate this ancient Spanish art you must be in an intimate setting with good friends, food and wine. Sounds good to us.

Elche caters for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, promotions, hen parties… they love a party! When background music isn’t being played then it probably means you’re being entertained with live flamenco music and dancing. Maximum capacity is 180 standing, or 130 seated. Up to 12 people can sit together on a single table, while up to 70 can join a group booking, with other diners in the restaurant. A three-course set menu costs £17.50 a head. Monday to Saturday, a lunch of three tapas and a glass of wine or beer is just £10. Child-friendly; on Sundays under eights can eat a buffet lunch for half price. Air-conditioned.
