SquareMeal Review of Bar Tozino

This cool conspiratorial bodega suits the gritty, crepuscular ambience of Maltby Street to a tee, with its archaic arches and shabby boutique air. Food focuses on sharing taste hits like mushroom crocettas, patatas bravas, black pudding and baked sheep’s cheese, followed perhaps by marginally more ambitious offerings like tomato and sherry soused meatballs or lentil stew. Tortilla made with Cotswold Cacklebean eggs and king prawns cooked in garlic, chilli and lime are both favourites but, for many, it’s the wine list that draws them in. Finos compete with Manzanillas, Amontillados with Olorosos, while reds outnumber whites, though all have their place and are often offered by the glass, carafe and bottle.

Wooden furnishings, low lighting and tight brick walls alongside the option of an outdoor dining area help create a cosy vibe while staff are generally a delight.

First but won't be the last visit. All round good food, drink recommendations from the staff (from the vermouth to the wine to the post meal liqueurs) and service. Especially good were the jamon and cheeses. Nice buzzy spot and atmosphere on a Saturday evening.

The best charcuterie in town!
Maltby Street market is my go-to place when I have time to mooch around on a weekend, the long row of stalls selling every type of food that your heart could desire – I always want to stop and try everything. But, I rarely do, because tucked away under one of the arches is the superb Bar Tozino, I love the basic bar, stools and decor (mostly hams hanging above your head), the staff (all Spanish I think) are friendly and knowledgeable and I simply cannot enthuse about their charcuterie enough – I could eat here every day. We had a plate of their Bellota Joselito Gran Reserva and their mixed charcuterie platter of Lomo, Chorizo and Salchichon, 4 cheeses and pan con tomate. Everything we ate was superb but the chorizo was extraordinary, some of the sweetest, melt in the mouth fat-marbled porky produce that I have ever eaten – I confess that I dreamt about it last night. We guzzled a few glasses of “very old fino” and rioja blanco and then we rolled ourselves home – heaven
