    Delicious food, great service and wide menu choice. Freshly made Spanish tapas with a good choice of options for every dietary requirement. Wines were great too!

    We revisited Barrafina after many years and enjoyed the experience. The restaurant was buzzy with a pre theatre/after work crowd, the food was delicious, the service was good although there was a bit of a gap between food coming out and the bill was as expected (a bit overpriced for tapas).

    The food and service were very good, The monkfish, the smoked eel and the green peppers were particularly nice. We asked to sit downstairs rather than upstairs at the bar. It was less atmospheric but more comfortable.

    Tasty, friendly service also..four of us seated in line at counter which was perfect (but possibly less convenient for larger groups). Excellent arroz negro and crema catalana. Go if you are more concerned with quality than with quantity

    Seared scallops in a light buttery sauce, garnished with microgreens and capers for a briny contrast.
    Seared salmon with crispy skin served on a creamy white sauce, accompanied by golden-brown enoki mushrooms and a drizzle of olive oil.

    The food is extraordinary! But what makes the experience really amazing is the stuff. We had a lot of fun and would be happy to visit again :) The guy with the tattoo slightly similar to himself is hilarious 😂 and recommends the best dishes!

    This the first time I visited the Barrafina on Dury Lane and the last. Our server, Kinz was fabulous, but other than her the rest of the experience was mediocre. The food was average, small portions for the price without a great deal of the usual Spanish flavour. The seating stools were incredibly uncomfortable. Real shame as was looking forward to it, but I honestly can’t recommend it. Very disappointed. Also if you book with a discount, ensure it’s on the bill as they do not add it automatically.

    service was wonderful. food is amazing as always. my only concern was on the basement level, I noticed two light bulbs were blinking and not working properly. it didn't impact us too much but it would be nice to have them fixed.

    If you have been to Spain, you would be disappointed at the food. Some dishes taste good, but the portion is a bit too small.

    The food was delicious and plenty of choice. They were able to accommodate gluten free/coeliac without a problem. Sitting at the bar watching the chefs in action was fun. The service was friendly and helpful. A delight.

    The service we had was very attentive and our waiter was helpful with myself as I am a coeliac ( wheat and gluten free) The small plates we had 8- 9 between 4 of us and each of the dishes that was brought out were delicious and hot in temperature ( the chorizo dish, Iberian pork so tender, melt in the mouth and ham & cheese croquettes being our favourites) We had paid our bill and then I had realised that the 30% off offer with the Fork hadn't been taken off but I think the manager was very professional and sorted it out for us straight away! Would just like to say thank-you and we we'll be back again soon
