The best friends are always those that even though at times in your life you may be miles apart from one another, even though you may not speak for weeks - when you do it's like you just saw each other yesterday. This is the relationship I am lucky enough to have with many of my school friends and last night I saw Sophie for a big catch up, drinks and dinner at Spuntino in Soho.
I've been meaning to visit for dinner ever since I laid eyes on their mini-sliders when stopping in for a drink a few weeks back. Our catch up provided an ample excuse to venture into effortlessly cool interior.
You have to know what Spuntino is and where Spuntino is to be able to eat here, there's no reservations, a relatively modest, hidden exterior (apart from the neon read sign reading Eats) and there's definitely no phone number.
However anywhere that possesses it's own popcorn machine and provides mugs of popcorn with a chilli powder shaker, instead of a bread basket, is a winner in my eyes.
We started the evening with a couple of their cocktails which went down very well before indulging ourselves in their menu.
Obviously we had to order their sliders, if not simply just to satisfy the dreams I'd been having about them, but also because they're so mouth-wateringly delicious it would be impossible not to.
We decided on one beef with bone marrow nuggets and one deep-fried prawn, both of which I could quite happily devour daily if my jeans were that forgiving.
Then along came the eggplant fritters with fennel yoghurt dipping sauce...
The buttermilk chicken. Naturally we couldn't give their hand-cut chips a miss so they arrived as well...
Spuntino is a great place to go for a catch up, especially if it's just two people, their seating around the bar makes it a bit trickier for larger groups if you'd actually like to speak to everyone but for us, it was perfect.
Definitely give them a visit if you can find them on Rupert Street, Soho. Keep your eyes peeled their worth it!
