Maracuya/ Rico Sabor restaurant, Greenwich Peninsula

It was a sunny Sunday, I decided to choose a restaurant by the river. It was suggested to me actually. The weblink I was given signaled it was wheelchair accessible and LGBQ+ friendly (?!). We were a party of four from different parts of London so the proximity to Jubilee Line was useful. We were offered mint tea (delicious) and we had a selection of tapas to start with. Now we were a bit underwhelmed by the tapas – we had a portion of Crispy Fried Tempura Cod, unanimously agreed as neither crispy nor tempura.

the tapas that we piled on one dish at the end

Norman’s Tagliatelle Gamberoni was definitely the best of the mains. I thought our paellas were closer to risottos, they were too moist. I’ve had paellas in different regions of Spain and I know what to expect, what they offered were not it! The chicken was reported to be ok.

We thought the service although friendly was a tad slow but hey, its Sunday and we were catching up with our individual news. We were curious but we did not question as to why we were also given a Ukrainian menu. We didn’t try it. The ambiance was good, there was no noisy music and we enjoyed each other’s company. We ended the afternoon with a stroll by the River Thames passed the cable car and Damien Hirst statues.
