“8-hours roasted tomatoes were unreal! Beef tartare was amazing as well and basque cheesecake is a must try!”

“Terrific high quality Spanish ingredients and fantastic fantastic service. We went through most of the menu! Each of the Heritage carrots, jamón, pan con tomate, tuna tataki with ajo Blanco, octopus, txistorra, tomato salad, roasted avocado and courgette flowers were wonderfully prepared, delicious and you could tell had had the finest ingredients sourced. The menu is best for sharing though it does have some larger courses if you want a large main. The staff were friendly and bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish to us and had a very friendly family vibe within the staff (we got really excited for them that they were making a big pot of lentejas in the kitchen for staff lunch) we're happy to recommend from the wine list, in the end recommending us a delicious Galician white for a hot day. Very friendly as well as delicious, it's in a charming location in the middle of west London. We loved it. High quality Spanish restaurant experience and would happily return. For those coming from Spain to we only warn you that the kitchen shuts close to 2:15/2:30 so adapt your lunch hour eating time ;)”

“This place is awesome! The food is great, it’s modernised tapas with some Classic staples retained; the prices, considering the quality of food & location are reasonable. The service is really amazing; the staff make sure you’re well atended. There is a good selection of wines, you also have a full fridge should you be in the mood for something a little more mature. Be sure to have the Mexican carajillo as a digestif! Definitely recommended and will be visiting again.”

“Absolutely fantastic Spanish restaurant. We had many tapas dishes which were absolutely amazing. We had wine. I tried the red wine which was great - I wish I remembered the name! The service was very friendly and attentive. And to top it all off, Rafa Nadal was on the wall in a massive photograph - apparently he is a frequent visitor to this very restaurant! I wish I could add more photos but I need to preserve privacy of my companions.”

“Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. This restaurant has regulars from the neighborhood as well as one off visitors. It’s cosy, family friendly and extremely Spanish! FOOD We ordered 8 tapas for two, omitting the mains that we’ll have to try next time. -The octopus is the best I’ve ever had I think, outstanding, pairs so well with the mash and the pickles. -8h tomatoes are unique, juicy and so flavorful -patatas bravas and croquettes are a must too -crunchy nigiri was delicious too, highly recommend -prawns I wouldn’t order again, felt they were subpar compared to other Spanish restaurants in London -if you like artichoke, order it; my wife loved it but I was less of a fan. -for dessert the basque cheesecake is nice but wouldn’t order again, failed to blow my mind unlike some of the other dishes Paid £120 for two without drinks. Think pricing is reasonable for the neighborhood. Service was fantastic; the Spanish waiters are super friendly, charismatic and upbeat. They make you feel part of a family restaurant. CONCLUSION: HIGHLY RECOMMEND and I’ll be back for that octopus for sure. I’ll also be visiting their sister restaurant, Tendido Cero, across the road.”

“I went to this restaurant to catch up with friends, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. The vibe was warm and welcoming—perfect for a relaxed evening out. The food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the red mullet, sea bream, prawn dish, and the potatoes—so, so good. Price wise, I found the price to be very reasonable especially for the quality of food and service you get. I think it’s great value for money Getting there was a bit tricky due to unexpected transport issues, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and helped move my reservation twice without any hassle. Really appreciated their flexibility. Would definitely go back!”

“Phenomenal food and service from start to finish. Ordered 5 tapas, one main, and two desserts which were just right for two hungry lads. Shout out to the ham croquettes - the potato filling was super smooth and creamy, while ham was very savoury. Very underrated Spanish restaurant in my opinion, does not feel like this name gets brought up enough in London.”
