Barrafina - Adelaide Street

“This was my second visit, and now I remember why I didn’t come back sooner. The prices are quite high, but unfortunately the food didn’t impress me enough to justify the cost. It wasn’t bad, but for the price, I expected a more memorable dining experience.”

“Cosy Spanish tapas place, which serves delicious authentic food with varying specials. I often go to Spain for work and Barrafina passes the test. Book by the counter to enjoy the chefs preparing your dishes; I especially enjoy the specials, which change often. It is not cheap, but not too expensive either. Wine selection is better than average. If you go in a bigger group, then maybe check another Barrafina location as this one does not have a lot of nice larger tables.”

“Lovely meal. Fun atmosphere. The only negative, and it was a small one, is that the waiter didn't seem to really care to help me choose the dishes I wanted or explain anything.”

“Always have a good experience here. The seafood arroz was sublime. Courgette flowers is excellent. Octopus is grilled to perfection and the sauce is really good.”

“Had dinner here on a Friday evening. The tapas is really delicious. We sat downstairs which can be a bit noisy. Service was good. Portions were on the small side but it just meant we could try quite a lot of the dishes”

“Great food and great service. It’s hard to strike the right balance of a ‘white tablecloth’ dining experience with good food in portions that won’t have you running for fast food after. This place nails it. Every dish was good and chefs took such care and pride in their craft. Standout with the iberico and the cheesecake - the cheesiest cheesecake to ever exist, not to be missed. My only criticism is that on top of a 13.5% service charge, there’s also a £1 charge per guest for still (tap) or sparking water. While I would understand and think good value for sparkling water, charging for tap water is fundamentally a cash grab. For a mid to high range establishment, is milking that £1 really worth it?”

“Came again on a quiet Sunday evening. We were led to a table in the basement by a very helpful wait staff. Ordered a few usuals. Apart from the octopus and shrimps, all the rest were great.”

“Barrafina teleports you back to Spain. The food here is very good and close to what you get in the tapas bars in Barcelona but unfortunately at London prices 😂 and also London portion sizes 🤣. You sit here at the counter watching the chefs preparing your meal. The red shrimps are one of my favourites. Not exactly the carabineros from Spain but still very good. They have daily specials on the blackboard and a nice selection of wine. If you enjoy Spanish food than Barrafina is definitely one of the best destinations here in London.”
