POLPO - www.polpo.co.uk
Polpo is a restaurant that serves Venetian small plates,
wine & spritz. Its humble Italian tapas at its very best and luckily for us
they are very gluten free friendly.
I can personally recommend the Arancini (fried rice balls)
and the Cod Croquettes. They were absolutely delicious and every bit as good as
I remember them. I would also try the Griddled Herb Polenta as that was
beautiful.
Polpo also earn major brownie points as they will also make Misto Fritto (fried fish plate) gluten
free on request! However I have to say I don't think it works as well as the Arancini/Cod
Croquettes due to the consistency of the breadcrumbs/batter.
Other options include: vegetable & salad plates, baked
mackerel fillets with sweet onions and a flourless lemon & almond cake.
I would definitely return to Polpo however (for me) I
wouldn’t have dinner there again.
Instead this is the type of place I’d like to meet a friend,
sit at the bar and order 1 or 2 plates to share whilst enjoying their delicious
cocktails. It’s got a great atmosphere but personally it was almost too loud
and too rushed to enjoy a proper meal.
