About

Since opening our doors in 2012, The Port House London has been dedicated to showcasing the culinary traditions of Spain in the heart of Covent Garden. Our restaurant offers an authentic Iberian dining experience, where guests can enjoy carefully crafted tapas and a wide range of classic Spanish dishes prepared with respect for tradition and quality. To complement our cuisine, we take pride in presenting one of London’s finest selections of Spanish wines and sherries, allowing our guests to discover the depth and richness of Iberian viticulture. Our primary objective is to serve as a cultural and culinary bridge between Spain, and the United Kingdom. Through our menu and wine selection, we aim to introduce London audiences to the true flavours of Spanish gastronomy while celebrating the conviviality and shared dining culture that is central to Iberian life. We are committed to authenticity, quality, and hospitality, ensuring that every guest experiences the warmth and generosity of Spanish dining traditions. We also seek to educate and inspire curiosity about Spain’s culinary identity. Many of our guests are experiencing Spanish dishes for the first time, and we take great care to represent these flavours faithfully while highlighting the diversity and excellence of Spanish produce and winemaking.

“It was a great experience. For Tapas, you do get what you paid for, but i thoroughly enjoyed what i got. The place is clean, and the atmosphere is nice - would recommend for a date etc. None of the food is undercooked, just make sure to order enough food!!”

“I can help but feel the rest of the reviews on here are fake as they really are not commensurate with our experience.The staff were very friends but service was so slow.Our first meat and cheese dishes arrived quickly but after 30 minutes of waiting we had to chase up our pollo and patatas bravas.They had clearly forgotten to make them as when the patas came they were so undercooked they were inedible and the pollo was the worst presented dish I have ever seen in my life.It was also inedible.The waitress claimed delay in getting them was because they don’t serve meat and cheese at the same time!Which was clearly not true… They did take the last two dishes off the bill but it still came to £140 for two which included wine but it cannot said to be good value for money.”

“I've got a reservation for valentines table for 2 , came in waited couple minutes and was seated upstairs. The light is dim which I love, it's not bright like other restaurants where you can get flashbanged by 100x LED . Staff was friendly apart from 1 lady that was sharing her personal problems with co-worker and was a bit too loud and was giving attitude to other vo workers. our orders been taken quickly and food arrived fairly fast considering it was valentines it took 20minutes for food to arrive. I spent around £70 for 2 . Really amazing place”

“Very good tapas meal on Friday night. It is really lovely candlelight place at night. Much nicer and intimate inside than you would imagine from the front door. Had lovely selection of tapas all of which were excellent. Returned for a solo evening meal - staff were were lovely and efficient. Had a great meal of tapas - from ah, asparagus and chorizo with lovely Rioja. Has a lovely atmosphere.”

“Excellent location if you’re attending the Adelphi theatre as it’s next door. It is a small and narrow tapas restaurant/bar that you need to book if you want to sit at a table but walk-ins available if you’re happy to sit at the bar. Delicious tapas, (the manchego burger was fantastic, we ordered it twice) great Spanish wines and as expected ports. Friendly, efficient service. Would recommend and definitely would return.”

“I wasn't sure if the food was authentic, but it was definitely tasty! We had reserved a table for two, but we ended up with a small table by the corridor, which wasn't ideal. It was especially disappointing to see an empty table for four nearby. Eventually, that table was seated by two people as well. Overall, the food and drinks were nice.”
