Well, this blog could have been about another afternoon tea deal but I am done with it now. Those online afternoon tea vouchers .... either I have too much high expectation or you just get what you paid for ...
So last Saturday, five of us went for the afternoon tea. Right after that, Maria and her boyfriend Dale went to see a movie and Emily went for shopping. My husband and I were not hungry obviously because we had just been to afternoon tea. I thought going somewhere to sit and relax for the rest of the afternoon with a glass of vino would be nice, perhaps with some nibbles. So we went to newly opened las iguanas http://www.iguanas.co.uk ) on West Nile Street in Glasgow to try.
I loved this place. They have Latin Tapas to share, 3 dishes for £14.40 or 5 dishes for £24.
They also have lunch menu and taco sharing tray.
We went for 3 tapas and chose Gambas (greedy whole prawns, split and cooked in a garlic, lemon and chilli sauce, served with ciabatta), Calamares (whole baby calamari, sliced and coated in crisp crumb cassava with creamy aioli) and Spectacular Fish Taco (crackly battered sustainable white fish caught in soft heat and corn tortillas, topped with a corn and sweet chilli salsa). We really enjoyed them all and they were what they are described in the menu.
My favourite was the fish tacos. I had been looking for Mexican restaurants in Glasgow that serves fish tacos but I don't think I have ever found anywhere till we came here so I got to try theirs and I really enjoyed this. I could go for anther one right now!
They also have good cocktail menu (http://www.iguanas.co.uk/menus/las-iguanas-glasgow-drinks-menu.pdf). There are some drinks I would like to try next time I come here. I also read in Tripadvisor that they do very good Churros for dessert so I need to try that too.
Yes, we went for afternoon tea earlier (to my defence, I only had 1/2 of sandwich, 1 scone and 1 mini muffin, I mean literally 'mini' and a cup of tea so it was not much...) but 3 tapas to share between us was just right. (Maria and Dale had hot dogs at cinema, ha ha ha.)
The restaurant is nice and airy, brightly decorated with lots of tables. Oh, finding toilet was a bit like a maze. You follow the sign and just as you feel you get lost, you believe yourself and keep following till the end of the corridor and you then suddently see there is a stair going up to take you to the toilets.
That's all forks.
