Really very nice. Food and drink were all very nice, special shout out for the fried chorizo lollipops, which I think took the crown. There’s a kids menu with a good selection of the more ‘kid friendly’ dishes, which our son loved. Service was very good, food came out quickly but you’re left plenty of time to enjoy.
Really can't knock it. We booked ahead of time and got seated fine. Parts of the venue are probably a bit of a squeeze, but it's nothing too crazy. We trued several of the tapas style dishes, and they were reliably delicious. The 'pork popsicles' were a standout. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again
We visited iberica spontaneously, but we were accommodated by the welcoming front of house! We sat at the bar and we ordered a couple of tapas wine and a cocktail. The guy at the bar who served as was very sweet, and kind! The food was amazing, we had the pig shortbreads (just so tasty), the amazing croquettes, and the toasted bread with tomatoes which was nice. I had a glass of Licis 2015 Mencia. It was elegant, soft after notes, earthy and with a hint of lavender...easy to drink. would come back!
Walking around the neighbourhood and chanced upon this cosy restaurant. Walked in without reservations. Actually it’s quite big inside. Very authentic Spanish tapas and choices of iberico ham. Loved the Spanish omelette. Had the croquettes, patatas, interesting chorizos like a fritter on a stick, and burger sliders. Warm hospitality from the crew and Picasso sketch prints across all the walls. A gem of a place to visit.
Excellent food and service! Literally walked into this establishment without reservation nor reading any reviews - very pleasantly surprised. Worth every penny - dinning out these days has become quite costly and increasingly so...
We were heading to a gig later in the evening, and wanted to have a pre-drink and some nibbles. So when we were passing by, decided to check out this place, as from outside it looked small but people kept coming out and back. It was pleasant surprise, as restaurant turned out to be spacious, nice decor and buzzing atmosphere. Staff was friendly and very efficient even they were extremely busy. All tapas were delicious and good choice of wine. Definitely place to come back!
Had an amazing meal here. All of the ham dishes were excellent, with the platter being great, while the chorizo lollipops and ham croquettes were both standouts! The other dishes we got were also lovely, such as the beef cheek croissant and patatas bravas. The restaurant was very loud though, and it was sometimes hard to hear across the table even though we were only a table of 3. The churros for dessert was good, but the chocolate sauce was a bit lacklustre - tasted more like cocoa powder and cream than real chocolate (maybe that’s what the intention was though)
We had a very nice meal at this restaurant, my wife and I. The lamb was very tasty but the potatoes (or maybe the sauce) was a bit too salty. We finished off with churros; the chocolate sauce was perfectly bitter and sweet, something my wife appreciated since she never likes sweet things. The atmosphere was calm enough to have a conversation in. We recommend this place for sure.
