September 9, 2010: Naked For Satan
Naked For Satan has unsurprisingly attracted quite a chip of attending via blogs together with tweets inward the few weeks it's been opened upward - that's what shiny novel bars inward trendy ol' Fitzroy do. Though reviews accept been really gratuitous I must acknowledge that I wasn't yearning to become myself; I'm non much of a drinker, nor i for sophisticated frocks or belatedly nights out. But our friend L invited us to bring together a grouping at that spot on a Th black together with I was happy to banking enterprise fit it out inward their company.
Filter cafe, though it's been dramatically renovated together with offers much to a greater extent than infinite for patrons. Yes, it's hip together with a niggling pretentious, but seemingly non at the expense of comfort or intimacy - at that spot are dissever levels together with nooks, padded couches, generous circular tables together with high bar stools inward diverse locations, every bit good every bit a chip of infinite to motility together with breathe (... at to the lowest degree at 8pm on a Th night. There seems every direct chances that this could plow into standing room belatedly on a Saturday).
While I don't imbibe regularly I am partial to the occasional cocktail and, amongst Naked for Satan touting a make of infused vodkas, the cocktail card was correct upward my alley. This mojito-inspired drinkable contained violet-infused vodka rather than white rum, lending a prissy twist without beingness also floral or soapy. I happily nursed this all eve but if you're of a stronger constitution than I, y'all mightiness fifty-fifty crusade the vodkas straight. I need heed that the chocolate i is rather special.
Claire fifty-fifty mentioned that at that spot were about vegetarian options. Actually, at that spot are a
lot of vegetarian options - roughly one-half the card on the black nosotros visited was helpfully labelled amongst a niggling V. (Do banking enterprise fit for the Vs, though, every bit at that spot are about veg-looking things amongst fish or pate or the similar going on.)
I can't vouch for their vegan-friendliness; nigh of the pintxos start amongst a thick spread together with many (though non quite all) of them would live on cheese-based. Then they're crowned amongst all sorts of goodies. My favourites on our commencement plate were the Castilian tortilla together with the sweetness crumbed eggplant, on the minute plate I was peculiarly impressed amongst the pea dip nether the love apple tree together with roasted pino nuts, together with was e'er going to dearest the bluish cheese, quince glue together with walnut option.
There are fifty-fifty a dyad of dessert pintxos, though these didn't charm me quite together with therefore much every bit the savouries - a chocolate custard-filled cannoli together with an armagnac-soaked prune.
Naked for Satan held far to a greater extent than appeal than I had anticipated. Though you're withal unlikely to encounter me whooping it upward at that spot on a Sat night, I'll happily furnish at a less party-like hr for to a greater extent than for their unique together with affordable snacks. And, if I'm feeling really crazy, mayhap about other vodka.
