After a stroll in Green Park, my friend and I walked just 3 minutes to this Spanish restaurant for lunch. The ambiance was fantastic, with unique wall decor and beautiful flowers on the door. We ordered two glasses of wine, which were excellent. The tapas were also delicious, and we were very satisfied with our meal.
Delicious tapas in a restaurant with a great vibe. Lovely location in the heart of Mayfair and down a quiet street. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Highlights were the bread with tomatoes, sliders, chilli prawns, and black rice and squid. Wine menu was quite extensive and reasonably priced. Will be going back!Food: 5/5
My hidden gem Spanish tapas restaurant , absolutely delicious!!! And it's not expensive!!! My favorite black squid seafood rice in London is here . Love it at first bite! Each grain of rice is distinct, filled with rich creamy and seafood flavors. The texture of the rice is just right, with a perfect balance of flavors. Highly recommended!
Disappointing Experience with Discrimination and Poor Service I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this restaurant. My friend and I were seated at an outdoor table, ready to enjoy our meal. While I was in the restroom, my friend was quietly on a phone call when a couple Two men seated behind us rudely complained that she was disturbing their "enjoyment." Despite her politeness, they continued to be inconsiderate. When our food arrived, this couple finished their meal and, being familiar with the manager, received special attention. One of them, dressed in a pink shirt and bald, confronted us accusingly, claiming we were selfishly taking photos and disrupting their time. We were only taking pictures of ourselves, enjoying our moment, and certainly not of them. Their outburst was clearly discriminatory and seemed targeted at us, two women of a different ethnicity, especially when others around were also talking and making noise without any issue from them. Additionally, the restaurant’s location next to the street meant that a garbage truck and a street sweeper passed by multiple times, spreading foul odors and dust onto our food. Despite this, the restaurant staff, including the manager, did nothing to address the situation when we complained. We were eventually moved indoors where a loud party was going on, further ruining our dining experience as party-goers continuously bumped into our chairs and shouted loudly. Again, the restaurant staff did nothing to manage the noise or ensure a pleasant dining atmosphere. To top it all off, when we voiced our concerns to the staff, they failed to offer even a basic apology. The service was incredibly poor, and the discriminatory behavior we experienced was unacceptable. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a respectful and enjoyable dining experience.
Lovely cozy spanish restaurant with absolutely stunning tapas. Tapas serving speed was quick. Seafood paella is nice but might not be the best cost/price dish on the menu. Would love to try squid rice next time. Sangria tastes slightly watery but it somehow tastes like spain island restaurants’
My group shared a number of tapas. Calamari, ham croquettes, and the jamon iberico which is expensive but very much worth it. The cheese platter was also wonderful. This was a great restaurant.Food: 5/5
Amazing food at a fair price. Everything I come here I lo e everything I order. If you're by yourself, sit at the bar an chill. The Octopus is amazing.Food: 4/5
Having a great dinning experience The tapas and meat are good taste. Highly reccomend the prawn with olive oil libian pork secret and rice&squid.Food: 5/5
Lovely food but service was a bit patchy at times. It took us asking three different people before we got the bill. In addition, we over-ordered thinking the serving size would be tapas style and I wish our waiter advised us of this instead of saying it was the right amount. Instead pick 2-3 dishes per person as opposed to us picking 4 dishes per person which was too much. I recommend getting the croquettes and octopus. Patatas bravas and Spanish tortilla can be skipped. We’ll come back again to try some different things.
I like the garlic shrimp and ribeye steak, this is one of the best tapas in London. My favourite is still the seafood Paella. Definitely worth waiting 45 mins freshly cooked!Food: 5/5
