Wonderful place! Lines were long along the main street in Carnaby (Kingly St), and we were lucky to get a place at Pix. Odd to have Spanish food in England, but all of our trad British meals were very so-so. I started off with a sangria, my companions with negronis. We were all in heaven after a long flight from San Francisco and a train ride down from Penrith. Our two hot pinxos were the diablo meatballs and patatas bravas. Both yummy. These were brought to our table. The cold pinxos had to be taken from the bar. The cauliflower with onions and romesco, piquillo stuffed peppers, minted peas topped with pea shoots, fried olives, and deep fried bacalao balls were all lovely. We sat outside where the atmosphere was lovely. The service was so friendly and good. We felt so welcomed and nourished. read more

Super lucky find that I stumbled across. Although small, the staff was friendly and had a wonderful warm atmosphere with outdoor seating. The tapas were served fresh and paired very well with red wine. Great spot if you want to find a quick bite around the area. read more

I hate to leave a bad review when some things were exceptional... however... I feel I must. I had 6 items and only 2 were good. That's not acceptable. The cod bites were blah. The salmon on toast was literally described as cat food on bread by one other guest. Everything came out of one plate and the person who dropped it off didn't quite know what everything was so it was difficult to get the right item to the non-meat eaters in our group. (Especially since 3 items looked the same). Nothing was hot, more like above warm when the hot apps arrived. The quince coated chorizo and manchego cheese bite was an exceptional bite! The crab Bon bons also exceptional. The sangria was like sugar water, the cocktail was weak (but the bartender remedied that - thank you) but the lychee and ginger martini was exceptional. Maybe it was just late at 7:45 on a Sunday night but it seemed they didn't care after a busy weekend. The final straw was watching a staff member eating from the cold bar right behind the counter and not wash their hands. In a time when Covid is still around, I'd hoped the hygiene would be a bit better and they'd be a bit more sympathetic to cleanliness and people's health concerns. Our server was lovely and great to chat with ... but as a whole. We left hungry and not whiling to try another round of menu selections. (Sometimes you just need to stop the train and get off before the wreck - because that's what it was ... train wreck!) And to the restaurant, I think you need to work on the menu a bit .. I can't help thinking you could've done better tonight read more

Great find on first day in London. The all you can tapas for 15pds was amazing. The food is very tasty and presentation is lovely. Small place but was slow so not an issue. The staff is friendly and even brought some tapas out to us hot out of the kitchen before sitting out on the bar area for all the customers. You serve yourself and go back as often as you want. They have small desserts on the bar too. read more

Booked a table on the phone an hour before we went there as I had read that the venue was quite small. When we arrived, our table was free and the waitress was very friendly and explained to us how it works in the tapas bar. The tapas were really nice and not too expensive. Also we had a gluten free and vegetarian guest, and the waitress brought food she could have to the table before even putting it where you get the food. We had a bottle (well, we had 3) of rioja which was really nice too. We had a brilliant time, very good tapas and good wine! The waiter and the waitress were delightful. I definitely wants to go back!!! read more

Came for a quick bite and a glass of wine. The restaurant was inviting with an open door, nice music and a friendly staff. We grabbed the following tapas: *Chorizo & Astorian Cider Stew with Rosemary Toast *Pork & Beef Albondigas (meatballs) with Spicy Tomato Sauce and Garlic Toast *Marinated Artichoke & Shaved Manchego on Rosemary Focaccia *Gran Reserva Serrano Ham & Spinach with Quail's Egg on Ciabatta *Gran Reserva Serrano Ham & Bechemal Croquetas with Jamon Crisp The croquettes and the artichoke toast were definitely my favorite. I enjoyed their payment method too -- you just go grab whatever foods you like, bring them back to your table and place the skewers from the food into a tiny carafe on the table. The waiter just counts the sticks at the end and multiplies that by the price (short stick is less money then a long stick item). The waiter could tell if we were from out of town and asked if we had plans later on. We told him nothing in particular and he gave us a great recommendation to explore Soho. We had a great time in the restaurant and appreciated the attentiveness of the waiter read more

Absolutely fab tapas and a quick way to have a perfect meal. We went on New Year's Eve (must get reservations) and were in and out in 1/2 an hour! They kept. Ringing fresh tapas out from the kitchen and so many lovely items to try. This is a concept popular in Spain--not just the tapas, but each item has a stick in it, one of two sizes. At the end, they count up the sticks and that gives you your total. I loved it! And: They have Pimm's behind the bar! read more

Pix is a solid choice for a little pre-or-post theatre imbibing and eating. Skip the stuffy "prix fixe" offered elsewhere around here. Covent Garden houses a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing. It seems tempting, but often disappointing. Yes, you'll be in and out in time for the show -- but at what expense? Lost quality, I tell you. Rawr. So, Pix. A petite little alcove on Neal Street, positioned perfectly to whet your whistle and fill your belly. Pix (pinxtos) are small plates. These are all fired up and ready to go for you, immediately. You take what you want, you eat what you can, they tally up the sticks at the end and voila you'll leave pretty satisfied. Oh, and that chocolate espresso mousse? Do not forget to devour one. I implore you. I've been twice, and both times the service is downright cheerful in the best Spanish way. You feel at home, it's a comfortable spot, relaxed. The wine and drinks flow, the food is never late, they whip up fresh batches as things disappear, even doing some rounds to make sure you have what you need. Very enjoyable. I do recommend a booking for busy show nights as they do book up. Tables turn fast, but you don't want to be left without your Pix fix. So, repeat after me. NO PRIX FIXE -- JUST PIX. NO PRIX FIXE - JUST PIX! you got it. *Infinity Sundays - all you can eat and drink for £33/person. Come hungry and thirsty and get your infinity life on. read more

A real treat! Tapas like in Spain. Everything is super fresh with trays that are renewed regularly to taste several different tapas. We must come to refrain because we want to taste everything. The concept is simple we get up and we will choose his tapas way buffet. We pay according to the size of the wooden spade planted in the dish. We order to drink wine or cocktails from a friendly team. They have a mixologist which does not spoil anything. For a date or with a group of friends before going out read more

Pix Pintxos was superb. Basque meets slight S. American flavors. Awesome layout of food. Stocked bar, tantalizing flavors, they let you enjoy yourself! Downside: more tables outside, more wait staff attention, no cloth tables.. Ham, peppers, cilantro, lemon, melon, asparagus, cheese offered as amuse bouches. Perfect! Definitely be back.

This was one of the many cute places on Notting Hill. We stopped here because of the atmosphere; it seemed full of young people and you can't go wrong with tapas. We were seated outside; all the "waitstaff" were young, funny, and friendly. They explained how it works -- you take a plate and whatever you want from the bar and drop the sticks into a can at your table and at the end they tally that to calculate your tab. We started off with the wine they recommended; we weren't super hungry so tapas was perfect. Food-wise, it wasn't amazing. The tapas were decent and looked better than it tasted. Atmosphere-wise, it was good. We spent a long time there and were happy. read more

Love the concept but the food is just meh. Came here because our other 4 options had long waits and we had a show to get to. We stumbled on this place because it had tables available. You get your own food and collect the sticks in a glass, then they add up the sticks when you pay. The fried olives, shishito peppers and meatballs were ok. But the fried cod balls tasted like faintly fishy dough balls and were disappointing. All the bruschetta variations were meh. Nothing stood out as amazing so we didn't even bother with dessert. Unfortunately this isn't a place I'd go to again with so many other places to try in the area. read more

What can I say? This is the place you didn't know you were looking for. Let's see. Pix is best described as a party this keeps on going. It's got a very unique business model that I haven't seen anywhere else. Kind of like the all you can eat sushi boats where you grab what you want when you feel like it, but with Spanish tapas instead. Really, if you walk past the window, you can't help but notice all the enticing small plates ready and waiting to be eaten inside. Perfect when you're hungry and want a lot of variety and don't want to have to wait for it. On top of that, they have great drinks and very friendly and fun staff who keep the drinks and merriment flowing. No fuss, no frills, just pop in and enjoy yourself. We came in our last night in London and this place hit the mark tenfold. read more

Stopped by for tapas and sangria on a weekday. They have four sangria options (red, white, pink, and sherry) and I opted for classic red. While the price was on the higher end, the glass was massive. Highly recommend the red sangria - it was on the sweeter side and was served with a lot of fresh fruit. The pinchos format was a unique experience, as you pick whatever tapas you want from the counter and pay for them all at the end. Fair warning, it's easy to spend a ton on the small plates if you're getting enough for a meal. For a snack though, picking a couple of tapas was the way to go. I had the cod croquetas, which were great. There was ample selection of tapas from the start, and I noticed new tapas being rotated in throughout the hour-plus I was there. Overall excellent sangria and food and would love to try more; knowing I'd easily need 4-5 tapas to fill up, I'd go for the 15£ unlimited tapas deal during weekday lunch. read more

Awesome pintxos, in flavor & variety! You pay by the pintxo and it's a self serve style situation. Loved sitting outside under the lights of carnaby street! Either order beer or skip the drinks - red wine wasn't great & the mojitos are incredibly sweet. Otherwise, we loved this place! read more

Walked by in the early evening one evening, there were some lovely looking platters of food and a table for me. Just what I needed, this taste of Spain. So flavorful and so very well prepared. Wines are excellent. Nice staff, and helpful, too Enjoy! read more

My love of cold food is well documented. To clarify, I love, love, love spicy food. I just like the temperature of my food cold. Spicy cold food. Sounds disgusting. Tastes delicious. So you can imagine my excitement when I walked into Pix for a quick lunchtime nibble and rather then having to wait for my tapas to arrive, there were an array of Basque-style pintxos sitting and waiting to be plucked up from the bar. Plump juicy olives, meatballs, quince-coated chorizo on manchego cheese, pork belly with apple and smoked potato, cod and crab croquetas, Iberico ham and zucchini... and that was just in the initial grab-sesh. I noticed a beautiful display of Spanish wines, and as we were the only people sitting along the window, we got to sample a few cocktails they were testing. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, hey? If you've never enjoyed this Northern Spanish treat, pintxos are different from tapas in the way they are presented and eaten. While tapas are more of a sit down, get cosy, fork-frolicing long-term affair, pintxos are more of a social butterfly -- reasonably large, but individual bites consisting of a small slice of bread with a wide variety of Spanish goodness on top, served on a long, thin skewer. (Pintxo = spike. Clever, huh?) If this is blowing your mind, compare pintxos to a sushi-go-round where you're grabbing, nibbling, grabbing again and then being charged per colourful plate, rather than a sit down, order from a menu sushi restaurant. Or you could just go and check it out for yourself! (That goes for Pix and Basque Country alike.) read more

Having been to Bilbao in northern Spain and experienced the local Pinchos bars this is the first time I have found something similar in London. These bars are basically like wine bars that have plates of single portion foods laid out on the bar. You ask for a plate and then take items from the bar without paying. Pinchos means spike, so all the food is served with a stick in it, this means you settle up when you leave by handing back the sticks from the food you've had. The food I had was ok, but not to the same standard as that in Spain. There was a fairly limited wine selection too, perhaps 5 bottles of red. Still very nice to find a little taste of Spain like this in London. read more

Didn't do the tapas but came for the speakeasy bar downstairs - called Rooms by the hour. Definitely a great idea, you're in cosy little private booths with a curtain to close them off, a dimmer switch to control your lighting and a little TV that shows 70s porn when you press a button. All sounds great so far, and perfect for a date! I think the cocktails themselves let it down a bit though. The bartenders were the same as the restaurant upstairs and clearly not mixologists. Nice, but your average - slightly over sweet and mainstream - fare. If they sorted that out I would be there all the time! read more

Pix is a very decent tapas bar mini-chain exclusive to London. I've visited the Covent Garden (Neal St) and Notting Hill locations. The concept is great. You sit down, make yourself comfortable, maybe order a drink from the waiter, then get up to pick out your tapas. They offer a range of traditional tapas like albondigas, cured meats, chorizo and vegetable options which are all skewered. You collect skewers as you go, making as many trips as you'd like to the counter with the constantly replenished food. At the end, you pay for skewers and drinks and voila. It's a great option if you want some authentic tapas at your own pace. I generally like the concept of Pix, but beware, the space is very small and can feel like you're packed like sardines in a can or the tube on your morning commute, so not always the most pleasant of dining experiences. I wouldn't recommend this for groups (unless you book out the entire restaurant), and would always advise booking ahead. read more

This concept is totally refreshing and I'd love to see something similar stateside. The decor is done right - exposed filament lighting, lots of what appears to be reclaimed wood and the entire front of the space is glass so you can people watch as shoppers pass through Covent Garden. It is b r i l l i a n t!!! Numerous savory and sweet dishes are laid out for your enjoyment - tapas style! Every small dish that we sampled was full of flavor. My only complaint is that at the time there were a large amount of fritters, which are of course fried...BUT all the food is on a rotation so you can just sit back and enjoy another glass of wine while you wait for some new selections. The following items were consumed (in order of tastiness): - Seared Tuna on toasted bread - Chorizo w/ manchego Cheese - Ham and tomato on toasted bread (lovely thing strips of smoked ham) - Spinach and Sweet Potato 'cakes' - Aubergine Fritter w/ Cherry Tomato - Olives and tomatos There is a bit of an honor system involved. Each selection comes with a 'pick' stuck in them and this is how your meal is totalled up at the end of your grazing session. I highly recommend this spot - if you are in the area you MUST try it. read more

My American fiancé was visiting and we were stumbling around covent garden when we discovered Pix! This place has a really unique concept. Everything is in small portions and you can pick up which food items you want to eat from the bar area. The total cost depends on the number of cocktail sticks that you accumulate. I think they may need a better system for this- it's a little too trusting in my opinion since it would be easy enough for customers to discard the sticks and avoid paying the full cost of what they ate (!) In addition to the yummy tapas, there is also a good drink selection. Note that the restaurant is very small and more suited to small groups of 2/3! read more

Always a bit hard to review a tapas place without having tried all the tapas but suspect my taste buds would probably have commuted mass suicide at any more boredom ... Oh and my bank account would have been drained of all resources to feed me again... It seems Soho is not the only place to have restaurant s that leave one feeling poor and hungry ... Suspect the best bits of this place are the fact one can sit in the street drinking wine and watching the world go by without looking like one is homeless ... The most insulting part of a serve yourself restaurant is being charged service charge ... They are quick to remove it ... So maybe just cheeky ... read more

Great food and fun for a Saturday night with friends before heading out. We didn't want a huge meal, so it was nice to pick and choose exactly how much we wanted. Also - A huge thank you to Ruben who tracked me down through open table when i left my glasses behind. He went above and beyond to make sure I got them back - thank you so much! Will definitely be back the next time I'm visiting the area. read more

I wish Pix was in New York! Stopped in for a late night bite in the Neal Street branch. Pix is a great neighborhood tapas restaurant with good wine and delicious food. The 'buffet display' answers the "which one do I want next" question. (Warning: its very tempting to say "everything"). Pix is good for a large group of friends or just catching up with someone special. read more

Inspired by the pintxo bars of Barcelona, Pix offers loads of different food options with only two prices. Those with small sticks sticking out of them cost £2.25 and the big ones £3.25 which makes adding up your bill super simple. After a couple portions of patatas bravas to share between us while we waiting for drinks we checked out the days offerings. I went with the Serrano ham on tomato bread, diablo meatballs, Serrano ham & bechemal croquetas and the four cheese fritter. Some items were better than others and while the meatballs were delicious the bread that came with it and also the Serrano ham was a bit of a let down. My absolute favourite dish however were the cheese fritters, crispy on the outside while still being wonderfully gooey on the inside - truly delicious! I could have quite happily gone back for more but of course wanted to save room for not only the cava we were drinking but a cheeky little pudding too! The churros with chocolate sauce were the bomb and an absolute bargain at the short stick price. I may have got sugar absolutely EVERYWHERE trying to eat these in a half polite manner but man were they worth it. The sauce wasn't really a sauce though, more like milkshake which made an excellent chaser at the end of the meal. In total the bill came to around £20 each including drinks which for central London is pretty much unheard of. I for one am a definite convert! read more

Everything we tried at this all you can eat tapas restaurant was wonderful! Great variety, great people watching and even better drinks!! Reasonable pricing as well. read more

Food was good however, this is definitely a 3 pound sign place. If you're American it's probably the most expensive tapas place you'll go to in London due to the tiny sizes. for average people expect 4 to 6 large pix and a couple small. Overall, the food was tasty but a severe lack of hot dishes. A great pre- or post-theater snack. Almost everything is on a crustini which is very not Spanish, but has a great fusion flare! read more

I love the concept of this place! The space itself is well designed, the drink options are well thought out, and the little tapas are all really flavorful! We popped in on a whim, grabbed a glass of wine, and sampled about 5 different items. You get to go up to the bar and pick up the plates of the dishes you want (each is just a few bites), and the idea is that you collect your sticks as you go which are then added up at the end for your tab. Simplest is always best and we loved the jamon on the toast. Perfect way to start a night of bar hopping in Soho! read more

Cute place, nice and moody for easy munching and boozing. I guess they were trying to go off the Basque version of pinchos here. But only part suggesting it was the name and the bite sized portions speared through with a wooden toothpick. Very limited selection of tapas style nibbles. The hot foods sit under a heat lamp sort of fixture and are your basics like patatas con chorizo and croquettas. "Pintxos" were displayed with vibrant colors and bits of this and that. The ones sitting on toast left much to be desired. Drinks menu and bar was decent though, nice place to catch up without much hassle. read more

Great concept here, we had a number of items and two bottles of a well priced and tasty tempranillo. I thought everything was well prepared and the service was very good, but with one exception, one dish that I thought should have been severed hot, The main component was oxtail on crusty bread, this dish was good, but in my opinion it should have been hot. Overall very solid. I shall return read more

This tiny tapas bar opened recently in Covent Garden, taking the place of one of Neal Street's old cake shops. Initially it doesn't look like much - the few tapas samples sitting out in the window didn't particularly tempt me - but having been persuaded in by a friend I was very glad I gave it a try. The wine here is served in authentic Spanish style stemless glasses, and is probably the best thing about Pix. There's a good selection of top quality stuff, at reasonable prices. The pintxos themselves are also pretty good, tasty and fresh, and made a great accompaniment to the wine. The best time to visit this branch of Pix is in the summer, when you can sit out on the pavement in the bustle of Neal Street's shoe shopping crowd. We felt like we could easily have been in Madrid or Barcelona as we say there enjoying Pintxos on a sunny spring day. Great for an antidote to shopping! Pix gets pretty busy and lively on Friday and Saturday nights, so be there early to avoid disappointment (table space is quite limited). But the staff are really accommodating and offered us two whole plates of free tapas after a bottle of wine (which they also replaced) was corked. Definitely above the call of duty! read more
