I would highly recommend this restaurant for several reasons…read more 1. Location cannot be beat if you're in central London! It's a beautiful restaurant that's ideally situated next to the theatre district. 2. Menu is very interesting and full of unique items that are rare to find on traditional restaurant menus. It's also quite good for vegetarians (3 mains and 3 apps are fully vegetarian). 3. Service was quite good. Our server was quite attentive, helpful, and gave us excellent recommendations. The chef's assistant also came out a few times to say Hi and even brought us complimentary coffee at the end. 4. Price is incredibly good for the kind of food, experience, service, and location you're in. Two of us had two appetizers, two mains, 1 dessert, and a carafe of wine for £80 (incl. service)! 5. Finally -- the food. Explosions of flavor, unique textures, and interesting preparations all combine to make this a wonderful experience. I had memories of eating in San Sebastian at Michelin star restaurants...highly recommended for 1/5 of the price! Check out the pictures to see some of the things we got. I would highly recommend the "Traditional Talo" and "Arraultzak". The "Arroz de Setas" was also awesome, but a bit salty for my taste. We got an excellent Rioja to go with the food which was perfect. For dessert, the salted caramel is a no-brainer!

We spent £170 on a meal that left us questioning the most basic standards of a professional…read morekitchen. My child ordered duck. What arrived had a charred skin, but the meat underneath was red, cold, and raw in texture -- not pink, not rare, but genuinely undercooked. This was served to a child without any warning or explanation. My tuna was supposedly "seared," but it had clearly only been heated on one side and was cold throughout. This isn't about personal taste, adventurous cuisine, or "authentic style." It's about fundamental temperature control and food safety. There is a huge difference between rare and unsafe, and this crossed that line.

I didn't know what to expect when the hotel concierge recommended the restaurant, but I decided to…read morebe adventurous. The restaurant wasn't small but still had an intimate feel. The service was at the doting level, I felt spoiled from the moment I was seated. There are two huge coolers. One full of aged meat and another filled with amazing wine. The dry aged, grass-fed, "Spanish version of Kobe" beef was so special. It was not an inexpensive dinner, so be prepared for £120 per kilo. Worth a splurge to experience the amazing staff here. Spoil yourself! And, try the creamed Swiss chard, I could have licked the bowl (except that would be embarrassing... )

The interior is mostly bar and small hightop seating, but it manages to create close and intimate sining areas for 2 very nicely. The food seems authentic. Mostly done tappas-style but much better than in the states. We got the Olives, Oxtail slider, Rice with seafod, Langustines, potatoes, cauliflower and Pluma Iberica. All were very good and the Oxtail, rice/seafood, and pluma Iberica were hauntingly scrumptious. Service was genuine, accommodating, caring and prompt. The best example of that was the timing and staging of dishes so we never got more than 2 at once and could enjoy each before the next plates arrived. Best service I have ever had at a tappas or small plates restaurant! If you are in London, you gotta go!!

First of all, the atmosphere here is fantastic, very warm and comforting. The service you receive is always with a smile and so attentive. Ordering from the main menu, you can't go wrong. The steaks are all cooked to perfection and all dishes are served with the most simply and perfectly cooked vegetables. It is a family run business, and this is what makes it a cosy & welcoming place to have that special dinner.

Authentic Spanish restaurant providing great well priced food and excellent service to boot…read more The set menus are wonderful, based on a few staple favorites but with fresh additions when available. My personal favourite has to be the Scampi meunier, cooked to order in a cream White wine sauce with cheese and mash potatoes. Defiantly old school classic provencal cooking which may be out of vogue but hugely satisfying none the less. Whitebait and the freshly prepared boozy deserts hark back to the days when going to a restaurant meant fresh food freshly cooked from scratch. An occasion to be savoured. Highly recommended, Agostino and his wife are very friendly and it is always a pleasure to enjoy their hospitality.

The waiter was very polite and friendly and we were quickly seated out on the patio, the decor has a rural feel which looks slightly out of place in such a modern building.

We chose a main dish, pork T-bone (which was huge)with twice cooked chips, onion & pepper cooked in paprika and herbs and it was lovely. The pork cooked with garlic and herbs was so succulent and the pepper and onion had a pleasing delicate flavour finished with some great tasting chips. Highly recommend this place!

Bravas tapas was perhaps one of the best meals I've had in my entire life, and I do not say that…read morelightly. We stumbled in on a whim, just looking for a good place to grab a bite to eat for dinner, and found a restaurant where everything was incredible. You cannot go wrong. The Patas bravas was really good, though simple. It was presented in a really cool way, with a dipping sauce on the side. The spinach croquettes were so tasty and cheesy. The yellowtail sashimi was really refreshing. The braised short rib was INCREDIBLE- so tender and flavorful. With great onion rings. The best thing we ate, by far, was the grilled octopus. It was perfectly tender and crispy at the same time. It had such good flavor and such a good sauce. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The waiter was really great, we were in between a few items and he actually decided to surprise us and picked some items for us. The aperol spritz was also really tasty and well balanced! If you're looking for a place to eat near tower bridge, you can't go wrong with Bravas! The dessert was also really good- it was soaked in this delicious cream sauce and had a fun mango sorbet on the side

We arrived at Bravas Tapas for our 5:30 PM reservation on a particularly hot day. The location by…read morethe docks is undeniably charming, but the indoor dining space was uncomfortably warm. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't have full air conditioning--only a few lucky seats are positioned near the AC unit. We even brought portable fans, which ended up being necessary as the sun set directly into the restaurant's glass frontage, heating things up quickly. We ordered a broad selection of tapas: octopus, the salmon-wrapped sweet potato crisp, fennel salad, pork belly, spinach balls, and the bravas potatoes. The food was hit and miss. The pork belly was the highlight--flavorful and tender with a sweet glaze. However, other dishes fell flat. The fennel salad surprisingly came with canned pineapple, the spinach balls tasted like they were made with frozen spinach, and the bravas potatoes were essentially frozen fries--not what you'd expect from a place with this kind of setting and pricing. Service started out fine but slowed down significantly over the course of the meal. A couple of our dishes were forgotten entirely, and the heat made the wait feel even longer. Overall, Bravas Tapas had its moments, but between the uneven food quality, heat, and spotty service, it left us more frustrated than satisfied. It's a beautiful spot with potential, but there's room for improvement--especially when it comes to consistency and comfort.
