Lupo Bianco
Think classy wine bar with cocktails and a wide range of delectable tapas , and you ’ ll probably think of London first . But times are changing . London is no longer the go-to place for interesting dining that looks incredible and tastes amazing . You can now stay closer to home in Kent to experience quality food and drink ... particularly at Lupo Bianco in Locksbottom .
Owned and run by successful restaurateur , Nick Constantine , Lupo Bianco is the place to come on a first date , on a romantic night out , for a work do , to mark a celebration , with a group of friends , or simply just because . Lupo Bianco ’ s versatility and warmth means it can be something to everyone and the exceptional tapas for which it is known is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone ’ s face .
If you ’ re not a fan of tapas , never fear – there are other dishes on the menu . The txuleton vaca ( Spanish beef to share ) is particularly wonderful , and every piece of meat , which is kept in one of four dry-ageing fridges , is authenticated with a certificate to prove how long it has been aged for .
For an authentically Spanish , yet suitably Kentish place to enjoy an evening out , Lupo Bianco hits all the right notes .
