Across Ealing there are various places to go out and eat. As well as chains, there are a range of independent places to eat. One of the nice things is that as a result there are lots of choices when you’re hungry. I often choose the independent places and one such place was in the (relatively) new Dickens Yard complex. I first went to Reinata back in June 2023 where I had a nice meal. However it wasn’t really a place to go out and eat on your own, as the tapas portions are quite substantial. Having said that and feeling quite hungry I headed over to Reinata for dinner. I went with two tapas dishes and some bread. These were large “small” plates of food.
I had the Octopus, Galician style, potatoes, paprika.
I had this dish before, but this was different to the dish I had back then. The last time I had this dish at Reinata it looked like this. This was a very different dish to one I had this time.
This time the dish was sliced potatoes cooked in the oven and on top was slices of grilled octopus. The octopus was tender and full of flavour.
The other dish I has was the Andalusian Fritters, sherry marinated white fish and squid.
This was breaded fish and squid. It was nice and fresh. I think it needed something more than lime though.
Both were large dishes and would be ideal to share, on my own it felt a little greedy. I do feel that the quality and presentation of the food was not as good as it was on my previous visit.
