    Despite booking well in advance, and not being told when booking, we were seated at bar stools instead of a table. We asked if there was a table available and was told no. There were plenty of open tables. When we left 75 minutes later, those tables were never occupied. So if a table is important to you - call in advance to guarantee it.

    Food was great. Prawns, whole sea bream, romanesco. Service was a little unfriendly and inattentive. Ambiance opposite open kitchen was nice.

    A selection of dishes including crispy fried calamari with lime wedges, loaded nachos topped with melted cheese and diced tomatoes, savory corn cake with sour cream and cherry tomatoes, and golden-brown croquettes.

    Lovely and chill environment, quite a lot of tapas choices and drinks. Would be better if the reserve period be slightly longer so we could enjoy the time more.

    A selection of dishes including banana fritters with caramel sauce, crispy croquettes, sautéed spinach, a savory tart with cheese and vegetables, and toast topped with salmon, complemented by a glass of white wine.

    Very nice restaurant, the food was good and fresh, small portions but it is known to be tapas style. Good wine selection. The only thing is the bar stools are not very comfy and very close one to another, but otherwise everything was good!

    Spanish omelette topped with creamy aioli, caramelized chorizo, and garnished with fresh herbs.
    Crispy golden-brown croquettes filled with a creamy mixture, likely cheese or savory meat.

    High quality tapas and the prices are so reasonable with the 30% off discount (when you book a table with the fork).

    A vibrant restaurant interior with a lively bar area, colorful appetizers, and a busy kitchen where chefs prepare meals, creating an energetic dining atmosphere.
    Crispy fried calamari garnished with herbs and served with sautéed shishito peppers and a lime wedge.
    A vibrant salad of roasted beets and fresh onion drizzled with creamy dressing, alongside a grilled cabbage wedge atop a smoky sauce.

    The waitress was fantastic ! Explaining all the entry options and making recommendations the vibe is also excellent and food was fantastic.

    It was a disaster from start to finish, we arrived at 1pm to a scorching hot restaurant, it appears they had a problem with their AirCon and we were sat in front of the Kitchen. I had to ask for service and it was practically empty. The inexperienced staff simply did not give a hoot ! I asked for a recommendation from a miserable girl who replied she knew nothing about the wines ! I made my own right choice in the end 🙏🏼 my colleague and I were simply appalled with the dreadful lac of service and attitude. I got the bill for both of us and was charged the full Ala Carte / Wine etc prices, I said there should have been 30% off food bill. The girl dealing with us was confused and said she knew nothing about it. Shame on them, never again I will make sure No one of my wide circle of friends ever steps foot inside again.

    Whole flatfish served with a rich, herb-infused creamy sauce, featuring crispy skin and a tender texture.

    A really delicious and varied menu. The fish was so fresh and tasty.

    Modern restaurant interior with a sleek bar, high stools, contemporary artwork, and warm lighting, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for diners.
    Lightly fried Padron peppers sprinkled with coarse sea salt, alongside crispy golden-brown croquettes filled with a creamy mixture, ideal for sharing as appetizers.
    Modern restaurant exterior featuring large glass windows, a stylish black sign, cobblestone paving, and a brick archway, complemented by soft lighting and greenery.
    Golden-brown Spanish tortilla made with eggs and potatoes, featuring a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, garnished with coarse sea salt.

    The Spanish restaurant is located a five minute walk away from London Bridge and about a minute walk away from Burrow market. The interior is reminiscent of a Spanish tapas bar with substantial amount of bar seating with few table seating. Book a table at 6:15 prior to a show and was seated at the bar. Initially we were sat with one space between us and couples on the right and left, and eventually they realised that they had placed individuals in a pattern that there was only one seat between us that than two for bookings on the right and left, we were asked to move thankfully before our food arrived. This could have been simply better planned from the start especially since there was a table plan which they kept looking at on their iPads. Also the door presented a problem as every time it open a gush of cold air would sweep into the bar seating area! The waiting area to be seated was adjacent to it and at times filled up with people waiting.

    Food amazing as always as this is my weekly Thursday haunt. The Fort arranging the 30% off for a Monday night encouraged me to use Barrafina as a meet up on a Monday night with a friend as a more affordable treat. Thank you. Please keep it up 👍

    My first time to taste fideua and it was delicious. Rather limited seafood sitting on top of the noodles but well recommended for taste. Good selection of wine and specials as well. Very busy that impacted on service but great staff when they were looking after customers.

    Nice place, lively (even a bit too much in the sense of the noise of the people). Food was ok, bug chipirones were disappointing. It seemed a low quality. Instead the courgette flower in tempura was extremely good and the fried was perfect. A find a bit expensive for the portions ( but we just took tapas) cannot say for main dishes. In any case worth a ride. The rank is not so high as the chipirones should have not be served in place like this.
