Hat Tip: Our director, Richard, here at the Battersea branch; has assured us that the Argentinian steak house on Queenstown Road is a must-visit www.santamariadelsur.co.uk. He also tipped us off about a VERY stylish new tapas restaurant – Boqueria on the corner of Battersea Park Road and Queenstown Road which is getting rave reviews. As well as this, there’s always San Gennaro, an established Italian on Battersea Park Road.
