Had some Top class Tapas here at one of Londons plushists dining rooms. I can honestly say that every dish we ordered was outstanding. Service was quick and efficient, like being in an old Andalusian Taberna, the plates just kept rolling out the kitchen one after the other, the stand-out dishes though were the Huevos a la flamenca(Aubergine & pepper stew), and the Buñuelos de gamba(Prawn fritters). Will be back, no doubt, to try the rest of this flavour packed, quality menu in the very near future..

Sensational food - easily the best tapas I've had in London. Possibly even better than I've had in Spain. I think there was just one thing on the menu that I didn't want to order...the choice was too good. The potato salad with confit tuna belly was just exceptionally gorgeous, creamy and a real delight. Also I loved the prawn fritters and the aioli they came with. Service was really good too - though they could have thrown the food at me and told me I'm ugly, and I still would have loved it here.

Good food from what must be a limited kitchen, service was very good and knowledgeable, the room was quiet when we were served. Menu varies during the day, could be simplified

The space is beautifully decorated with high ceilings, and the service is very quick and attentive. However, the food is a letdown. Even "big tapas" are served on plates that are more fit to be tea saucers. The ingredients are high quality but under-seasoned, which is especially disappointing given the bold flavors expected in Spanish cuisine.

Nice hidden gem for great tapas and peaceful atmosphere. Lovely staff too.

Delicious selection of tapas. We had the mint with peas, octopus and our favourite, the lamp cutlets. Maybe a bit too much sauce with the peas and octopus, but that didn’t matter too much. Desserts, tasty. Great service.

This place oozes charm, elegance and comfort. And by osmosis you are guaranteed to feel charming, elegant, and comfortable yourself. The massive ceilings, the large windows that inundate the room with light, and the beautiful decor create a very pleasing setting… a perfect casing for the treasure discovery that is the food. The spicy prawn fritters, cheese toast with honey, slow cooked Aubergines, and decadent pecan tart, are absolutely succulent, and all very likely to draw a few moans here and there.

My absolute fave restaurant in London - big, juicy, orangey olives; inventive cheese & caper salad; melt in the mouth jamon; and of course - impeccable pan con tomate that I could happily eat every day for the rest of my life if I had the cash to. Highly recommend for a boozy lunch in the centre of town
