El Norte is the latest venture from Spanish brothers Alberto and Arian Zandi, who opened Kensington Latin American restaurant Zuaya in 2018, followed up with Como Garden last year, so needless to say we are very excited to hear the news of the opening of El Norte!

El Norte (the North) is opening in Mayfair’s Dover Street this November and is being billed as a first for London’s Spanish restaurant scene, taking its cues from the country’s northern regions by offering a sharing style menu of traditional Spanish dishes with a “modern and luxury twist”.

Alberto and Arian Zandi, who were born in Madrid, intend to bring Londoners a taste of their motherland with bold flavours and textures. As with all their venues, El Norte promises to offer a glamorous drinking and dining experience, with “chic and sophisticated interiors reminiscent of its sister sites” and will feature a focal-point bar with an exceptional wine list. We are very excited by the prospect of a Mediterranean takeover of the Big Smoke as the nights draw in and the temperature drops! 

Address: 19-20 Dover Street, London, W1S 4LU
