Casa Asturiana

A chopped potato with garlic mayonnaise does not $11 make

Atmosphere

We used to do a regular Friday night tapas trawl, starting off with the 8pm show at the Spanish club, then hitting the pub across the road, Casa Asturiana, Miro's, Captain Torres and Don Quixote.
I've been scoffing down the tapas on and off at Casa Asturiana for 10 years. It's always been my favourite place down Liverpool Street - and the food is still tasty, but overpriced now.

As always, the grilled prawns (gambas a la plancha), chorizo, spanish omlette and meatballs (albondigas) were great - but $10 for vegetarian and $15 for each tiny-plated meat/seafood tapas - it's just too pricey for scoffing. And $11.40 for a cold potato drizzled with garlic mayonnaise is simply 'escandaloso'.

The Spanish beers are reasonably priced and tasty, but the Sangria and Asturian cider are also out of my price range these days. 
 
Good if you're not too hungry and not too broke.
