I love an "I'm full but the food is so good so let me eat more" type of night!…read more Let me just start off by saying I never would've guessed I'd find great tapas in London! This place was super cute, spacious, and played some good music that paired well with the atmosphere and theme of the restaurant. The servers were very kind and knowledgeable of the menu as well. We started off with a meat platter, chargrilled bread with tomatoes along with two delicious cocktails. For our tapas we ordered the *Patatas Fritas *Crispy Pork Belly *Grilled Salmon Filet (the only dish I wasn't super crazy about) *Alitas De Pollo *Croquetas De Bacalao *Chuletas De Cordero Even after all this, there is always room for a little treat! There's no way we could leave here without ordering churros, and I'm so glad we did!! We also added a bonus sangria , because why not? This is one of my many places I will revisit when I return to London. Highly recommend. More details/descriptions in my pics :)

Honestly, can't say how this little spot has remained off the radar for so long. I've eaten at a…read morenumber of Spanish tapas places around town, but this little local is fan-tastic ! The kitchen staff really know their stuff, producing classics with flair. Presentation is great - all their dishes look so appealing and sophisticated. The cocktail menu is excellent and worth popping in for alone, or paired with a snack at the bar. I'd recommend booking on weekends as it gets really busy and altho' the restaurant has just recently expanded in size, it is still buzzing with clientele. It's difficult to say what is best, but I love their rosemary manchego with quince jelly. The fish, meatballs, jambon, squid, aubergine, ah... so many fantastic dishes. Try everything ! you can't go wrong. .... visiting a month later, and I'd just add that the paella and squid-ink risotto were superb on Saturday night.

Great tapas i loved it. We ordered the Pork cheeks it's was so good. Definitely would go again!read more

On walking in the decor is nicely thought and done, but in places does have a bit of an Ikea feel…read more The tables feel a bit cheap as do some of the bathroom fittings. However in the evenings the decor looks fantastic, a bit like how a nightclub looks rubbish during the day and just works in the evenings, when the night is dark and the imperfections cannot be seen. The wooden floor looked original and authentic, with the other furniture looking right. Only the pictures looked a bid mass produced. On arriving the lady was very keen to please and enthusiastic, she definitely wanted to make sure that everything was right. Also what made it special is that the chef came out and described some of the dishes when the lady serving was less sure of their details. The menu is quite short without a massive amount of variety, but it is full of what I presume are classic Spanish dishes. However when the food came out everything was forgiven. The main course was definitely handmade, the flavours were full of fresh homemade ingredients, none of the pre made rubbish of many restaurants. The cheese croquettes remarkable taste and originality. The deep fried cod in batter managed to achieve the perfection of crispy batter that did not go inside the fish itself and take out the flavour. Also the batter was thin and not overdone making it really special. The anchovies were so special, showing how different fresh anchovies are to tinned ones. Being fresh they taste more like a softer tasting and salty version of tuna. The herbs also brought out a taste and were perfectly balanced and so not overdone. They were also cooked perfectly. The dishes were great and worth travelling a distance for, so worth going even if you are not local. The desserts were fine, but not the perfections of the main course. They may, or may not have been home made, but did not have the freshly made perfection feel of just made freshness, perfect levels of spice etc. They were perfectly decent but the mains had been a perfect 5 stars.

When we walked it, it was quite busy as a huge party was occupying a table across from us. A few other guest always dining as well. Not a big place but still very intimate and quite nice. Bar available but not sure if it's full bar. We did have a couple bottles of wine with dinner. Menu, straight to the point. Tapas and more tapas. As there was couple of us, we all chose three dishes to share. Each all looked amazing. The prawns, chorizo, mussels, meatballs, hummus, sun dried tomatoes salad, mushrooms, fried halloumi sticks, the skewers, pate, avocado toast, and croquettes. Everything was really good apart from it being slightly different from the states. The only downside, the skewer were a bit dry but presented beautifully. Everything was quite tasty and plenty to share for what we've ordered. Mussels were quite tasty in the sauce, chorizo was really good. Pate was more of sliced meat versus a spread. Service was great, staff was really friendly and chatty which was great. They ended the night for us with a little cocktail shot which was quite nice. Overall, amazing service, food was great, atmosphere was nice and friendly. Will definitely return.

First chance to check out this relatively new local venue in…read moremy local village and it was a huge hit. Small, friendly, a nice location just off the main shopping area, reasonably priced and generous portions. The food was delicious and worth venturing over for whether you are local or not! We had crisp halloumi, spiced aubergine with minced lamb, chilli peppered squid, pork belly and chips, a lovely crisp Pinot Grigio (my friend's a white drinker) and a couple of liqueur coffees. All this for £30 a head including a tip. The staff were efficient, attentive and charming. Young and energised, I loved the way all the front of house staff presented one table with a birthday dessert and sang with evident delight to the guest. We were made to feel very welcome despite booking a late table and the arrival of a large party of blokes who'd evidently been out for a Christmas get together added to the very European feel of this little gem. We'll be back

The tomatoes were so decadent and the bread so fresh and soft. We also really enjoyed the arancini for something a bit more savory. The tortilla was also great and a bit heavier of a dish for those who are hungrier. The staff seemed a bit uncoordinated but overall friendly. It's a very modern vibe and I loved the open concept kitchen.

Date-night-worthy Italian…read more My wife and I came here for an early dinner date while we were in London without kids and were impressed. We got the meatballs arancini balls on pea pesto, papardelle with wild mushrooms, rigatoni with basil pesto burrata and pistachios, and potted tiramisu. The standouts were the aracini, burrata, and tiramisu, but everything was quite good. The arancini were good for what they were but helped a lot by the being paired with pea pesto. I now wish arancini was plated on top of a counter-balancing sauce or food more often. The burrata was just fantastic and combining with pistachios and basil pesto brought the whole dish together in a way that really pushed things beyond the norm. The tiramisu came in a pot with a mint leaf sticking out the top. As with the other standouts, the tiramisu itself was good, but the whole presentation just really nailed things. The mint leaf went beyond decorative to actually boosting the whole dish. They also had a solid wine list and were willing to let us re-cork and take the rest of the bottle back to the hotel.

In particular, the garlic chicken wings were WAY too garlicky and the potatoes had barely any sauce on them. I quite liked the goat's cheese, despite the really weird presentation with crisps and glacé cherries. To be fair, my boyfriend really liked some of the food, so it might be personal taste. However, I doubt I would come back if it was up to me.
