José Pizarro, known for its celebrated Spanish cuisine and tapas-style dining, had been on my must-visit list for a while. As someone who loves the idea of sharing food and savoring different flavors, I was excited to experience the offerings of a restaurant led by such a renowned chef. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be quite underwhelming, with the food falling short of expectations in both flavor and presentation. The evening started with a simple yet promising dish—pan y tomate, which I paired with marinated anchovies. This combination was by far the highlight of the meal, with the fresh, tangy tomato on crusty bread complementing the salty, umami-rich anchovies perfectly. It was a good start, but unfortunately, it was the peak of the culinary experience. The croquetas and prawn fritters, which I was particularly looking forward to, were disappointing. The croquetas were bland, lacking the rich, creamy texture and flavor they are known for. The prawn fritters were even worse, as they were soggy and greasy, leaving a strong impression that the oil used for frying was past its prime. It was a greasy mishap that overshadowed any potential these dishes had. The tuna tartare with avocado, another dish I had high hopes for, was a letdown. The balance of flavors was completely off, with the avocado and lime dominating the dish, turning what should have been a delicate tuna tartare into something more akin to a ceviche. The tuna, over-marinated and lacking its natural flavor, was nearly lost amidst the other ingredients. The tortilla, a classic Spanish dish, was mediocre at best. It was served with an aioli that was supposed to elevate the dish, but the sauce was overpoweringly oily and lacked the essential garlic flavor that makes aioli so delightful. It was a stark reminder that even simple dishes can fall flat without attention to detail. Being a fan of José Pizarro’s work, especially his Basque cuisine book, I couldn’t resist ordering the torta de queso cheesecake for dessert. Sadly, this too was a disappointment. The cheesecake was dry and stale, lacking the creamy richness I had hoped for. It was a sad end to a meal that had already been a series of culinary missteps. Overall, my experience at José Pizarro was underwhelming. The few bright spots couldn’t make up for the many disappointments, and the lack of flavor and care in the dishes was surprising for such a highly regarded restaurant. Based on this visit, I can only give the experience a 6/10. I hope that my next encounter with José Pizarro’s cuisine will live up to the high expectations set by his reputation and previous works.
We came here on an unplanned visit as we were in the area but we've had heard about the place. The food was nice. The highlight for me was the pluma ibérica, great fatty meat that melts in your mouth. The octopus was good but, coming from Spain, I prefer it with potatoes. The mash was a bit too liquid and, not my favourite. The croquetas of the day were spinach and blue cheese... They were great! Patatas bravas were nice but, perhaps not bravas enough as in not too hot. The service was great though. We didn't have a booked table and they located us on a tall table at the beginning very busy lunch time. When I asked, they rearranged it so they gave us a normal table, much more comfortable and they moved everything for us. They were brilliant. The churros were nice but, not brilliant. The wine, I would like a bit more variety of less expensive wines. Overall pretty nice.
I came here for dinner with my partner and we sat at the bar. The food was overall good, generally pretty tasty, a couple dishes under-seasoned but overall nice. Good wine & nice atmosphere. However, we both noticed a couple of the chefs using /checking their mobile phones and then touching the food/garnishes for plating straight after without washing hands between, which concerned me from a hygiene perspective hence the 3 stars
Came here for tapas and wine. We got the house red which was good and very full-bodied. The chorizo, croquettes, beetroot salad and patatas bravas were all delicious. We were a bit rushed at first because someone else had our table booked less than 2 hours after our booking, but when the time came they found us another table, which we really appreciated. Vegetarian options: Some veggie options but not loads
We had a lovely dinner here. The portion is not big but we could try a few more dishes. Food was tasty and fresh. Price was reasonable. The octopus is for sure recommended. Just the sourdough bread was not so good compared to the other restaurant in general.Recommended dishesKing Prawns with Chilli & Garlic
Incredible food as always at a José Pizarro restaurant and this branch is no exception!The tapas selection was very comprehensive and each portion was beautifully presented. However, we felt that the atmosphere of this particular branch was a bit cold as opposed to the flagship on Bermondsey St. The overall environment was also quite loud but that’s mainly because of surrounding bars on Broadgate Circle so nothing that can be changed by the restaurant sadly. I still had to knock down one start though as I felt the service was also a bit rushed and sometimes hesitant which made the overall experience a little bit pushy we ate 6-8 tapas and dessert in literally 45mins and felt like we were pushed to finish as soon as possible even though the restaurant was not full. Anyway, we had a good experience overall but will not probably return at this specific branch.
Another great meal in one of Jose's restaurant. The food was delicious and the waitress gave some excellent recommendations.Food: 5/5
Absolutely fabulous food, with something to suit everyone. We washed our plates down with fabulous wine. The service for the first half of the meal was great, but then our server disappeared and the next one wasn't as attentive.Food: 5/5
Very good pan con tomate. The pulpo and ibérico pork were excellent. Prawns and tortilla were ok, nothing special. The wine selection gets pricey pretty quickly, but many choices by the glass. The bread is dry and the basque cheesecake is dense and also a bit dry. Pretty loud inside, so not the nicest.
We came here for a celebration meal as a birthday after work and made the mistake of not realising that city workers use the area for their post work drinks. It is very noisy including the restaurant itself which makes you shout to hear yourself talk. Service was good and we were well looked after. Tapas came quickly and was well cooked. Of course they are small plates but the portions for the cost were on the smaller side. Expensive for the small baked cheesecake. A mixed experience and maybe best to come when it is quieter.
