It was supposed to be a standard routine Thursday evening. But then Veronika called me and said she received her first cheque at her new job, so we decided to turn this evening into something a bit more special and instead cooking our dinner at home to eat out. We live in a very nice London area with our King road full of restaurants of all sort of cuisine from Iranian to Italian, so it was just a matter of short time to find the one for us, and so literally within 10 minutes of browsing we found ourself in the place called ‘Robin Hood Zoro‘ - a quite weird combination of names but then it sounds reasonable when you learn it’s an English - Mexican eating house.

Robin Hood Zoro is a quite small restaurant opened just a few weeks ago with a good choice of traditional food and gorgeous romantic interior. It feels very cozy and relaxed in dim-lit rooms of and old pub and with painted walls decorated with guns and sombreros and it is definitely more about Zorro then the English king of thieves. Latino-American music on the background and friendly personnel. It was not crowded that night so we had a choice of where to sit and opted to place by the window next to the fireplace.

The choice of food was really good including quite long drinks list. I went for vegetable soup and a traditional Mexican pork with pineapple and Veronika’s choice was garlic mushrooms for the starter and lasagna for the main. We were also entitled to a free bottle of French wine which was very nice and sweet. Everything was absolutely delicious. The main course was served with our choice of wedged potatoes which turned out to be the best wedges I ever had :) crispy and well done outside and soft and melting mush inside. As main course was served we realized that probably we should had passed the starters cause portions were big and we already felt like we were going to be full very soon. And we were :) Actually so full that we even asked to take half of a lasagna away with us, cause Veronika could not have any more of it, but it would be an ultimate crime to throw it away :)

So it was a lovely eating out. Out of regular night meals. Out of routine and boredom. I would definitely recommend that place to anyone. They also seem to be playing live music on Wednesday nights. And hurry up till they have they free bottle of wine with any two main promotion running ! :) Though prices are very reasonable there anyway. Check their website www.robinhoodzorro.com (I know I know it’s a sort of school boy made, but you can still find full menu as well as the location there).

PS. Pictures were taken with my gorgeous Nokia n73 :)
