Hadn't eaten at a tapas place for several years before this visit, so I was filled with anticipation before stepping through the door. It was rammed in there (you're unlikely to be able to reserve a table such is it's popularity). But you can grab a drink at the bar whilst you wait for your table (45 min for us, bit longer than we'd have liked, hence the loss of a star). Anyway, the staff were a friendly bunch (even enduring my friend's attempt at speaking Spanish to them - cringey). We each ordered three dishes from the menu, there was plenty to choose from, but we stuck to the less than £8 dishes (some were upwards of £20 each). It started arriving in waves - my favourite format for being fed - and each and every one of those dishes was utterly delicious, a mouth-watering welcoming assault on the tastebuds. The two bottles of Rioja Zarabanda were also enjoyed (they were about £20 each). So all in all, a relatively expensive meal for a northerner, but it was totally worth the money, it just needs to be a bigger restaurant to seat more people quicker! read more

It's been 8+ months since I've to this place, and I still dream about their chorizo sandwich! The Brindisa vendor at the Borough Market prepares the best sandwich I've ever had, hands down. It's quite simple--grilled chorizo, rocket (arugula), and peppers all atop a bap (bun) that's drizzled with olive oil. This is a must if you go to the Borough Market in London! read more

I am a total tapas monger / snob (I even have a list dedicated to tapas in NYC, that is how much I love them), so I can say with great conviction that Tapas Brindisa will not disappoint your palate! Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 2-3pm to meet with some friends and the place was relatively busy, but had zero effect on the level of service we received. Our server was really personable - entertaining to say the very least! He was definitely on top of things, keeping the wine flowing and the food coming! Most notable dishes were the chili garlic prawns, fresh goats curd and the lamb chops. Go.... you will not be sorry! read more

I have been to many places like this, they were all inside markets in Spain. The only real differences being the clientelle and the prices. Their chorizo is superb, their jamon is superb, their queso manchego is superb. Apologies for the reduced superlative set here, but the food speaks for itself. If you like Spanish food, come here, if you have ever lived in Spain come for just a little taste of the things that you miss, if you have never been to Spain, come here, buy the ham, buy the cheese, buy the chorizo and realise why you should go to Spain. read more

I like places where they are friendly and let you try things. So a place where they let you gobble 4 different types of expensive jamon is pretty cool. We ended up leaving with 2 bags of jamon, some scrumcious blue cheese, quince jam, 2 types of great olives (and I don't even really like olives) and some toasted almonds. All in all, a great visit and I look forward to coming back for more. The only thing was that the expensive ham was a bit lacking as it was right down to the bone and tasted well, frankly a bit shit. At least there is something for next time. Yay! read more

Ok, so no reservations. So what? Just go when no one goes (which might be never, during the holidays, because the Borough/Bankside area has evolved into a wild evening hotspot for drinkers and foodies alike). You would've still struck a good deal in terms of what you get for the money you pay. I always start with the Huevos Rotos (I've been advised that's what the Iberian natives do). The prawns are always fresh and adequate, a tad bit garlicky (I never understood why par subtle seafood like prawn must be smothered in garlic) but nevertheless a good eat. The croquetas jamon are so much fun, but then I've had very few bad experiences with these. Brindisa gives them an added touch of perfection. The squid ink risotto at Brindisa is still one of my favourites in London. The ink feels fresh and almost aromatised right for adequate flavour infusion into the senses. Neither too squidy nor too inky (if you know what I mean). Overall, while Brindisa might be snubbed when the connoisseurs benchmark it to the likes of Barrafina and Moro, it's still one of the better value for money tapas bars and definitely offers one of the best experiences in London. So two thumbs up for this one! read more

Came here due to the good reviews. Well well well. The standards of reviewers these days has took a nose dive hasn't it. Maybe this was their first trip outside the local kebab or dominos. The food here was disgusting. Alioli was inedible... Looked like some sort of STI discharge. Octopus salad overdone and way too much acidity. Lamb cutlets for £10 were tiny and unseasoned. Patatas bravas not spicy at all and covered in aforementioned Alioli discharge. Disgusting, tasteless tourist trap food. Not cool. read more

The food was good and the sangria was excellent. You have to order a bunch of dishes because the portions are tiny. Think of it as going to a sushi joint. We ordered the cured ham, prawns, clams, and about 4 more tapas. It was good and the service was excellent. You're gonna have to spend Sushi prices though. read more

Here is my problem--I gave 5 stars to Barrafina which is my very favorite tapas place by far, so although I loved Brindisa it is not the LOVE I feel for Barrafina. I did enjoy Brindisa--stood at the bar and had a great bottle of wine (stemless wine glasses give it such a casual feel) and thoroughly enjoyed my plate of jamones. We finally were able to get a table and had delicious squid, gambas, and spinach. But I felt like I wanted the spinach coca at Barrafina and there isn't as much intimacy in the restaurant. Still a fabulous choice in the hood and you can't go wrong here. Sorry, Barrafina tiene mi corazon.... read more

Lovely Spanish tapas food, great quality, reasonably priced too. Gets super busy here at the weekends, it's right at Borough Market, but if you go on a Sunday when the markets are closed, the area is a bit quieter. Makes getting an outside seat in the summer easier. A great spot to spend an afternoon or evening sitting, eating, talking, drinking......ahhh recommend for sure!! read more

Any place with a crowd as persistent and devoted as that at Tapas Brindisa must be doing something right. Full disclosure: I didn't order any of the mounds of incredible food I saw pass by me when I sidled up to the bar on a recent Saturday. I had quietly broken off from my vegetarian/vegan family for half an hour to come in and try the ham -- legendary ham, according to a London friend. I ordered a platter of charcuterie that could have kept four people busy, and a healthy glass of tempranillo. All the hams on the Gran Reserva list came from animals raised near the Portugal border, and fed a steady diet of acorns and chestnuts. (If the restaurant had mentioned that the animals were serenaded with the Pan Flute every evening at sunset, I wouldn't have been surprised.) The jamon itself was stunning: buttery, salty, velvety, and profound, with an intriguing funk from years of aging in the Iberian heat. The chorizo was equally addictive -- with a chili heat, but only enough to warm the mouth. The tempranillo was a perfect match. While I snacked, I saw awesome-looking platters go by: steaks with eggs, patatas bravas, shrimp bathing in garlic butter. I'd advise any visitor to try all of them based on the sight and smell alone. read more

We went there as we were kind of late for the market and padella was crowded with people. It is a lively place. Lots and lots of people inside. Super loud. Me and my partner are not loudest people around so the conversation wasn't easy. On the other hand it did make me think of Mediterranean. Food was good. Small plates of tapas. Do order at least 3 per person as they're not super big. One that blew me away was not a chrorizo thing or some fish but cold and vegetarian mix that I cannot remember the name of and cannot find on the menu. My companion liked it quite a bit. Oh one neutral thing I can say is that bread that we were given in addition was just ok. I'd have hoped for more tbh. I probably won't visit it again due to the loud atmosphere and not very memorable food. Now that I think of the food there again I also don't remember anything spectacular. I guess I do recommend it but not without reservations. I'd feel bad for rating it a 3 but I feel 4 is little high based on my experience. If you like tapas and are all into that atmosphere then you'll definitely enjoy it a lot. Especially go with large group of friends then the experience will be greater with great variance of tapas. read more

Wanted to like this place more than I did. It was really crowded and had a fun vibe, but was lacking in the service department. The tapas we got were just alright and they forgot to bring us two of the tapas we ordered. They did have delicious sangria though! read more

My love affair with cured meats, cheese, and red wine continues. Brindisa is the sister-restaurant of the Borough Market stall known for its chorizo and rocket sandwiches (look for the line-up a mile long on Saturdays). This restaurant also usually features a line as it doesn't take reservations and is usually crammed to the rafters. It's a bustling place that serves up a wide variety of typical tapas: platters of Spanish cured meats, selections of cheeses, peppers, some seafood, olives... the usual. And for me that was the most disappointing part - there was nothing unique or overly memorable about the menu, although the quality of everything we ordered was very good. But unlike meals I've had at Barafina, Iberica or Dehesa (I still dream of Iberica's black rice and the chili prawns at Barafina) I can't recall any particularly spectacular dish from Tapas Brindisa. read more

It is a love affair. The wait and time apart may be painful, heart wrenchingly so, but the reunion is always playful, passionate and steeped in goats cheese and honey. I started eating at Brindisa many years ago and it was my first real London regular. Nestled on the edge of the bustling Borough markets it was the place that I would always end up, my culinary home. It is very New York esque in its business model, they don't take reservations, if you get there after 7pm on a week night expect a 2 hour wait. I use to bide my time with several pints of Franziskaner outside the pub on the opposite street corner, did I ever tell you I love street side drinking? The menu is revolving, unpretentious and simplistic, mirroring the decor, food and staff, however there a few mainstays including the aforementioned goats cheese and honey. It is blissful, lingering and seductive, Monte Enebro goats cheese, flash fried, drizzled in honey and topped with crispy heart shaped beetroot chips, scrummalicious. My other regulars include the Chorizo Tortilla, rich and heady and the country toast with Alioli, slightly charred delicious brown bread with an Alioli so rich in its oliveness. The prawns in garlic are a must, don't let them take the dish when finished as the garlicky prawny oil is delish, smear it on your face and bossom and revel. The padron peppers are simplicity at its finest, lightly fried in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. If you are feeling flush order some Joselito, I cannot roll my R's, but f**k I love this ham born from sweet nutty little acorn fed pigs its the finest on this planet. In summary, go there, drop your guard and if you don't like it well F off. read more

{insert Not Impressed meme here} I'm obsessed with tapas. It's like Spanish dim sum and you get a little bit of everything without feeling like a fat mofo. At Tapas Brindisa, I thought I was back in Spain. And I mean Las Ramblas in Spain, the tourist trap mecca of lukewarm microwaved Spanish food. Maybe I'm being harsh. But in either case, I don't think the 2 hours I was told would be the waiting time for the next table would be justified. We were immediately offered a table outside though, and at 7 pm on a semi warm (unlike our food) Thursday night, we eagerly took it. Tortilla de Espinaca £4.50 was mushy and cold, Huevos Rotos £5.95 and Patatas bravas £4.00 lacked the crunch the dishes usually have, Escalivada £5.95 was unappetizing and salty, £6.80 Black Rice was very very oily. Salchichon de Vic £5.00 and the Pan de Pincel £2.80 were probably the best which is sad when the bread and sausage were the only things that stood out. I'm going to be searching for a better tapas restaurant, but in the mean time, I'm going to say I can't understand the hype here. It's something when my favorite part of the experience was our hilarious eyepatched waiter and not the food. read more

Just turned vegetarian so probably not the best place to come, however found the few dishes without meat in the menu. All extraordinarily good, the dishes especially salads were perfectly balanced and it was some of the best Spanish food I've ever tasted. Fantastic wine and good service - a memorable afternoon and no pressure to move on (though we sat down at 3pm on Sunday so not peak time). read more

I had been wanting to go to Brindisa for some time, and when the opportunity arose for a boozy Saturday lunch after drooling at the food porn of Borough Market I went for it. Sadly , It was very disappointing. The service was terrible and the food ok, and the most expensive lunch I've ever had for a few bits of ham ( it was iberico bellota) and some cheese. The wine of the month was excellent though and the coffee very nice. read more

Been to this place for the first time last night. We were looking for a Spanish restaurant with good accessibilty in terms of public transport. The restaurant doesnt offer reservations so we had to wait for a while, which is ok with a bottle of red :) The place has a lively atmosphere and was a bit loud. And it looks a bit basic at first glance. The service was quick, very friendly and the food was delicious! The tapas are good in size, you might want to order two or three for each person. I recommend this place. read more

I've since been back here a couple of times and I still really like it but a couple of the other dishes - tortilla and croquetas weren't quite as delicious. I am enjoying working my way around the menu though! read more

A tapas restaurant that nestles itself nicely between casual and classy. It'll always be busy here, not only because of its location in Borough Market, but because it carries a reputation for excellent food and a huge wine selection. And the reputation is deserved. We waited at the bar on a Sunday evening for 15 mins or so before being shown the table. The food menu is long, but neatly divided into types of food and even regions. I wouldn't normally think to order a fillet steak for a tapas meal, but it was fantastic; served on bread with onion chutney. Other highlights were the spinach, the chorizo and the croquettes. I'd love to come back here again, if only to try some more of the wine list! read more

If you want Spanish food, Brindisa is the place to go. Located in the Borough market, Brindisa sells jamon, peppers, manchego, saffron and much more all sourced from Spain. This place is a big stop during my weekly shopping journey to Borough. And the best thing about Brindisa is they sell these chorizo sandwiches in a small stand right outside their shop which are too good for words. These sandwiches are top 10 material and will have you addicted after the first bite. read more

I'm so pleased to have found Brindisa. Quite frankly I'd rather pay a little more than continue to smuggle back all the Manchego, Jamon Iberico and Chorizo that I find a necessity to get by from day to day. This wonderful shop is housed in Borough market and is the only place I come to find personal favourites like Cune Rioja wine and Valdespino sherry vinegar. A gem of a place. read more

So when my friend suggested this place I had no idea I had been to the Shoreditch counterpart. Was so happy though when I realised I was in for another top notch meal. I haven't eaten better tapas to be quite honest. The wine was delicious and the atmosphere was buzzing. The service was attentive & friendly without being over-bearing. HAVE THE CROQUETTES! Sorry for the caps, but I'd blame myself if you went and didn't order them. Other delectable choices were the chicken livers, black rice & garlic & chilli prawns. Delish. read more

This is a crazily busy place at anytime, which is a testament to the food quality. Fantastic tapas which arrives as and when it is made. Some dishes took a bit too long, but ultimately they were worth the wait. The staff are all very friendly, help you with the menu and provide a great service. Would definitely come back. read more

The world is a strange place. It is strange that you can sit outside on the edge of a major road (Borough High Street) in an area that has its fair share of vagrant drunks who wander past you and variously beg, slur or hassle you and still have such a great meal. Brindisa gives you fine Spanish tapas in the topical location of London Bridge. It has been doing longer than any of the new pretenders to the crown (Dehesa/ Salt Yard/ Barrafina) and I think does it just as well. If you can get a table, you should go. read more

Had Breakfast here on a Monday morning; the Scrambled eggs with spinach, this came served on sourdough toast, ordered a side coffee alongside. All very tasty, staff are friendly, only downside to the place is the lack of wifi. read more

Fully booked so we reserved a table and went and had a drink for an hour; came back and waited 35min for them to sort our table out despite continual promises it'd be 2min. The food was OK, really nothing as special as the reputation would have me believe. The vegetarian selection was very poor, overpriced and the portions tiny. Most of the tapas were £8-10 and were the sort of thing you'd pay no more than £1-2 for in Spain. Despite all the buzz about this place I won't be returning. read more

Imagine this: Saturday night in London. You are with a small group of friends. It's 9ish at night, places are hopping, AAAND you're hungry. So now what? We had no reservation anywhere (Hey, I live in a town that doesn't need reservations!), a few places ventured/asked/begged had, on average, slightly more than an hour wait. But then, there's Tapas Brindisa, says I. I checked the Yelp app, it's gotten great reviews! Don't fail me, Yelp! We got super lucky. They informed me on the phone it was an hour wait, but if we came over fast, like a few minutes quick, there was a group about to leave and we could fill the spot. No, they don't take reservations you get here or you're screwed. Yes, it was pissing down rain that night, too. RUN BITCHES, RUUUUUUUN!! We made it! Success! And it was totally worth it. The place is intimate. We were a group of five and our seating arrangement was tight, but not uncomfortable. We sat next to other people but I never really heard their conversation all evening. If you start to feel claustrophobic just remember: vodka makes you love EVERYONE. Between the five of us we ordered about 12 dishes, maybe 14. Everyone ordered two (and we shared) and only a few people opted for dessert. We didn't have one bad tapas plate. They were all delicious. I especially enjoyed the creative pieces, like fried goats cheese with honey, and chorizo potatoes. We vacated when they were closing up. Also, do keep in mind that in London they will charge a 12.5% gratituity. You can ask them to remove it, but that's entirely up to you. You do get the death stare if you ask for them to remove it. I HAVE NO SHAME. (don't worry I added a small tip, GAWD). read more

So how's the original outpost of growing tapas juggernaut of Brindisa doing since I last visited? Not as well as I'd hoped unfortunately... Situated on the corner of Borough Market's southern corner, no bookings Brindesa was always a tough (and tiny) table to score, light wood interior filled with souls exiting the market laden with goodies, unable to wait until their home before sampling them. The unlucky masses would look on through the floor to ceiling windows and resolve to turn up earlier next week. A recent midweek trip to the neighbourhood let me pop in for lunch on one of the less screwily busy days for the restaurant before the market next door grunts into life on a Friday. The menu is still a organic shopper's wet dream, everything veggie sourced from the nearby stalls while meats and spices come from the Brindesa shop, hotfoot from the best suppliers in their Spanish homeland. The joy has always been that you don't want to wait until you get home from the market, mainly because what the kitchen can do with the same handful of ingredients is infinitely better than anything you could manage. We've been spoilt by Jose, and the jamon croquetas he now serves up on Bermonsey Street. Those are light, fresh and heaven sent, these lumpen cigars of gluey mash under a too thick oily carapace just don't cut the mustard. Huevos Rotos - broken eggs over fried potatoes and Iberico pork sobrasada - is unevenly cooked. Soft slices of spud seemingly decanted into a lukewarm serving dish, the egg just the wrong side of soft and the sobrasada, a thickly spiced tomato based sauce, huddled in one corner under a slice of waxen potato. A great idea, and one I'm looking forward to borrowing for an inevitably hungover brunch, but there's nothing here any reasonably home chef couldn't improve on. Sautéed chicken livers with an onion and caper dressing were fine, and well cooked. If I'd just taken a plate of that with a muscular minerally and obscenely dry sherry, I'd no doubt be hurrahing from the rooftops. Compared to a recent revisit to gracefully ageing Barrafina, the team at Tapas Brindisa have got some way to go to regain their crown. If you're in the area, nip round to Bermondsey Street and see what their old boss Jose Pizzaro is up to at his brace of eponymous restaurants, either one of them easily has the measure of Brindisa I'm sad to say... read more

Meh. The food was good, but nothing was great. Service wasn't the best, but they were swamped. Come here for the ambiance if you're into noisy pubs. read more

Every dish I saw during my meal looked great. I ordered the Scallops because I saw another table get it and had to ask about it. I wasn't disappointed. It was fresh, flavorful and satisfied me. Luckily I had just enough room for the Creme Brulee. Which was big enough to make me happy. I hate a small Creme Brulee. It's like eating one potato chip. You have to have more. Especially if it this good. You could shop around the area for something to eat. Lots of fatty pies and stuff galore, but it won't come close to the flavor and quality of this food. I wish I had time for a second meal here. read more

Super nice staff. Most of them are Spanish speakers. Very nice tapas. Loved the bacalao, the padron peppers, and the charcuterie platter (with real Serrano hams). Too bad the terrace is a bit too close from a high traffic street. read more

After looking at the menu we debated waiting a few hours until we could get a larger group together. You can go wrong with this menu, I dare you to try. Turns out we couldn't wait and were stuck ordering tapas for 2 which made the selections incredibly difficult. To keep from fighting we left it to a social media poll to help us order. read more

Mmmmm mmmm! the best Jamon Iberico you can find this side of Spain. You can eat here or buy from a range of delicacies to take home. It's a great place to stop by for an early dinner when it's at its most buzzy. read more

[Non-photo review] For full post see: http://wp.me/pwXBH-pM Briskly to Brindisa We were getting hungry and didn't have much time for our early dinner. Unfortunately, Borough market had pretty much wound down by the time we headed out, but fortunately Tapas Brindisa was open, and somehow they had a table for two. Perfect! I had always wanted to eat here given how popular it seems to be amongst foodies, but this was the first time I'd actually tried, so I was excited. After perusing the menu for a while, we decided on a few dishes and they came out very quickly, with the exception of my sardines, which I checked on twice, and after assuring me they had been ordered (twice) finally appeared about 10 minutes after all of the other dishes had been polished off (?!). - Spanish Potato Omelette (£4.50); Grilled Lamb Cutlets with Allioli & Fresh Mint Sauce (£8.75); Onion & Rocket Salad with Pear, Quince & Kokos Vinaigrette (£3.20) - First to arrive were the omelette, lamb chops and salad. The potato omelette was surprisingly good for being such a plain dish. I thought it was seasoned well and it had a very good texture of half egg, half soft potato. Mrs. LF agreed, and enjoyed it mucha. 7/10. The lamb chops were also well seasoned and nice and moist, though they had spent maybe a minute too long on the heat for my liking and were just barely pink in the middle. While there was a fairly spicy allioli to accompany them, I didn't particularly like it and ate them solo for the most part. They were fine, but didn't have that extra flavor hit to make them stand out and be memorable. 6/10. The salad was the disappointment of the bunch. It was really a salad of red onions, with not much rocket and the pears being almost nonexistent. But the thing we both noticed (and still remember) was that it had a very strange taste permeating throughout. At first, we thought it must have come from the quince, but then again quince is a fruit, and that didn't make any sense. I thought it tasted like corn nuts, but slightly sour ones. Maybe it was the 'Kokos', but I don't know what it/they are. In any case, neither of us liked this distinct flavor. 3/10. - Pan Fried Padrón Peppers (£5.00) - Despite at first glance all looking alike, there were a couple different types of peppers on the plate, some of which had a wicked little kick (Mrs. LF's nose began to run), and some of which were very mild. They all had a rich, sweet taste and a nice sour acidity to boot. We only ordered them because the huge and rambunctious table next to us had a plate of them and they looked too good to pass up. Plus Mrs. LF fancied eating them with her omelette, which did turn out to be a good combination. We really enjoyed these green little guys. 7/10. - Pan Fried Sardines with Red Onion Salad & Chilli (£6.50) - The sardines finally arrived and they were alright too (they certainly were very nicely presented). The fish was soft and meaty and had a nice flavor to it, and I enjoyed the hints of chilli. The skin was pretty soggy though, and seemed to be intentionally so (don't know if it's supposed to be for fried sardines?), which didn't make it all that pleasurable to eat. All in all, another solid but uninspiring dish. 6/10. I have to say that I did rather like the place overall. I enjoyed the buzzy atmosphere, the quick turnover of tables, and it seemed like everyone there was genuinely having a good time. It is certainly a good place to come with friends and spend a leisurely weekend afternoon. They also have some decent Spanish and Portuguese wines available, both by the glass and bottle. We didn't order that much, but what we did have was generally cooked well, although from the dishes we chose, I didn't really see what all the fuss was about. When in the area again, I would definitely go back to try sample more of the food. read more

Full review on http://www.thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com . I've been meaning to eat at Tapas Brindisa for aaaages but their no reservations policy means I've never got a table. But turns out 5pm on a Sunday is a veh good time to go. Having relished Seville's tapas culture, where we realised eating jamon, olives and cheese at the bar far outweighed the delights of proper sit-down restaurant food, we plumped for a lovely bottle of Rioja accompanied with a plate of acorn-fed Ibérico charcuterie selection (shoulder, salchichón, loin and chorizo) with bread and olive oil; and selection of regional Spanish cheeses with toast. And my god, it was bloody good. Especially the oldest jamon iberica which was just wonderful. I would come back a million times more to eat this giant plate of iberico ham with cheese and bread and rioja, and the most amazingly rich and nutty olive oil, nom nom nom nom nom. Sigh. Anyway, I wanted to try some of the hot food so we ordered the pan-fried squid with green beans and Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar (below) which was spicy but I have to say not as spectacular as the jamon. I'd definitely like to come back for more jamon and cheese and rioja but I'd also like to try more hot dishes like tortilla and the rare fillet steak and king prawns and anchovies and pork fillet and belly. Because we ordered the creme de la creme of jamon, it was more expensive than a typical lunch might be (but worth it!) the giant plate of ham and cheese, with extra squid and rioja was £69 including service (or £34.50 each). I will most definitely be back and currently plotting further possible trips to Spain. We were also sandwiched between two veeeery touchy-feely first date couples so I'd add this to my list of romantico date places. read more

Came to Brindisa on Saturday morning for breakfast by chance upon wanting to kill time at 10am and we were looking for a good and not super pricey place to dine. We walked by, took a glimpse at the menu and decided to see what else was open at Borough. The only other real sit down place was roast and at £12 for an eggs benedict we we obviously not sold. So back to Brindisa we trotted. I opted for the scrambled eggs, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes with manchego cheese at a modest £6 and the other half settled on their iberico ham with two sunny side up eggs and chips. Now we thought to also throw in an order of bread with lavender honey, but our waiter politely informed us of the portion sizes so we held back. And true to his word the portions were big...dare I say huge? I think it was because it was 10am and I'm not used to having mother feasts such as the one that was laid on the table before me. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection and what I sensed was a lovely garlic butter flavour. The eggs came on fresh sliced toasted bread and the slices of manchego was a tasty combination. I must venture back for the actual tapas menu as I've heard good things. But when in need of a hearty breakfast, Brindisa does not disappoint. I quite literally did not eat again until dinner time... read more

Had lunch here on 11/6/2014 Great and unique wine selection. Tried four different red wines by the glass. All were delicious! For food, we ordered the clams and beans, iberico bellota chorizo, patatas with alioli, and grilled pork loin. Totally off the hook delicious! read more
