Arros QD is the result of chef Quique Dacosta’s lifelong passion for paella and wood-fired cooking, brought to life in the heart of Fitzrovia. Everything revolves around the six-meter woodfire stove where our chefs weave their magic, with theatrical seating around the open kitchen downstairs and a classic dining experience on the upper floor.

Our menu changes with the seasons, blending regional Spanish cooking heritage with local British ingredients. Cooked a la llama (to the flame) on our six-meter stove, dishes include everything from flame-grilled octopus to tomahawk steaks, with a starring role for the paellas brought sizzling to your table.

We believe that personality and authenticity is what make us special. Your ideas and energy shape every aspect of our people’ss success. We celebrate and welcome applications from all cultures, backgrounds, tastes and experience, and we are proud to generate a culture where everybody feels at their best. For us, this plays a crucial role in helping us create memorable experiences for both our team and our guests.
We want to make the application and selection process suitable for all. We’re very happy to discuss adjustments to our standard processes to facilitate this for you – just let us know and we can chat about it!
