Aqua nueva in City of London, Westminster

Honestly one of the best nights I’ve had in central London. The sushi was next level. The staff were super friendly, and the whole place has a luxe but not too stuffy feel. Great energy, great food, great crowd. Will 100% be back.

Aqua Kyoto is the vibe. From the rooftop views to the DJ spinning during dinner, it’s the ultimate mix of classy and cool. We had the spicy tuna roll, the black cod, and a few cocktails all 10/10. Perfect place for a birthday dinner or pre-night out feast. The crowd is cool.

Really good food, but way too expensive for the quality. The restaurant is also a club, so there are many dressed up people and very loud music. We were under-dressed

If I could give more stars, I would! Fabulous experience all round. Food was outstanding. Ray was the gentleman that looked after us, and he was equally outstanding. Honestly, would most certainly recommend.

We had a brilliant experience at Aqua Nueva, the food was fantastic and we had an amazing private room with access to a top roof terrace with a wonderful view of London! The staff was great and in general, the whole experience was superb and I will definitely recommend it!

A Disastrous Birthday Celebration – Worst Dining Experience Ever! I recently went to Aqua Nova Spanish Restaurant to celebrate a special birthday, and I can honestly say it was an absolute disaster. We were hoping for a memorable evening, but instead, we were left utterly disappointed. First off, we paid a staggering £250 for a meal that didn’t even come close to being worth it. The food was horrendous. It was bland, overcooked, and lacked any sort of flavor or finesse you'd expect from a place with such a reputation. Every dish was a letdown, from the starters to the mains, and I couldn’t help but feel completely ripped off. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, especially for a special occasion. I’d expect much better food and service for the money we spent. Save your hard-earned cash and go somewhere that actually knows how to deliver a decent meal and customer experience. Absolutely appalling.

Highly recommend this restaurant for a pre theatre dinner. The staff were efficient effective, polite and attentive. The food was of an excellent standard although more than one churros to close the meal would have been preferred. The magheurita was by far one of the best I've had in the UK. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for providing an excellent start to our evening.

Good atmosphere and rooftop vibe is very pleasant experience

Wonderful experience - great private room. Very attentive staff. Fabulous food and they put up with our antics!

Very delicious food and great service!

Great space and atmosphere, lovely and attentive staff Thank you for great experience 🙏🏼

Nice food and dining is very nice

Probably among the worst food experiences I've been part of and the cost of the party didn't make matters any better. You can definitely go here for drinks but not for food. Stressful service as you barely finished eating before they took away plates and asked if you wanted anything more.

The food and the personal was outstanding, especially Beatriz who was really helpfull at all times.

Good: Restaurant has a trendy vibe and food to match. Menu is simple. Staff attentive. Thank you Michaela and Mitt. The request by one of my guest for “rice” was kindly met. Thank you. The highlight of the evening was the after dinner drinks at the bar with the fab DJ and delicious cocktails. we left near midnight! To improve : Our arrival was met with quite awkward questioning by the security down stairs before we were allowed to board the elevator. My guests had to walk all the way back to the greeter to deposit their coats as no staff offered to do so. Loud music meant the staff were shouting when addressing the table which was rather crude. Portions are too small for the price charged. Wine list is short. No one checked allergies when taking the order.

I had already visited this restaurant, but on this trip we repeated with family. Cozy, quiet, delicious food. Excellent attention from the staff. Special mention to Beatriz, who explained to us all the doubts we had about the dishes and helped us at all times during the elections. Always attentive to us. Thank you very much, we will certainly repeat, here in London or in any other city in the world, since we did not know that there were more restaurants of this chain in other places.

I was not prepared for the spectacle of this restaurant. The place is stunning, the food was exceptional and the service personal but not intrusive. We both had the pre theatre set menu, which was perfect, my friend is vegetarian and was overwhelmed by the food, the presentation and the flavours, in fact said it was her top tapas restaurant ever. All of the plates served were delicious, and the churros are a must !! Thank you for a wonderful experience

🤵🏻‍♀️ Service: it was outstanding, from the guy at the bottom floor who let me in the building, to the host that brought me to the table, to the lady taking care of my order and delivering my dishes. Nothing to complain, all was fantastic on that regard. 🥘 Food: I did enjoy my food, generally speaking, but I did have some not so pleasant surprises. My patatas bravas, although good, were a bit strange in presentation and seem to be very little in terms of size/amount. The croquetas weren't as delicious as I would expect but not bad. The razor clams were absolutely delicious, a must try. What was for me not good at all was the Rillette Pig, you can see in my pictures the inside of them, they weren't made of only meat but also some weird chopped parts of the pig that I honestly did not enjoy. The amount of cheese was very disappointing, too little that serving. 🍷 Wine: I tried two different options, one was Grenache from Spain, not delicious but good. Then I tried a Malbec from Argentina, that one was really good, I'd recommend it.

My friend and I dined with you on Wednesday the 5th of January and I need to give my deepest compliments to all the staff who took care of us during our visit. I didn’t catch the name of our waitress, but her knowledge of the menu was top tier and all of the recommendations she gave were incredibly delicious (I’m so glad we asked her!). All of the other staff who checked on us throughout the evening were also spectacular and impressively charismatic. It was a bit of a special occasion for us and I consider it to be one of my top dining out experiences of all time. You have a wonderful venue and excellent food, but your staff are absolutely second to none and truly deserve recognition for their hospitality

We loved the atmosphere and most of the food dishes. Certainly more food than we were led to believe. Outside on the terrace for a drink was fab. Would recommend but quite pricey.

Great service and delicious food. Came with First table offer so beat the busy time, they were super nice and friendly with us. Favourite dishes were the peppers,machego&truffle croquetas and the octopus plate. Also, the churros is something you must try.

Had my birthday brunch here and everything was fine but I wouldn’t go back. Aqua Kyoto next door had a dj, better views and generally a much nicer restaurant with great ambiance. Our table was dark with one window and it’s not what I expected. If you want a boring low key brunch then choose this place.

Amazing ,private room looked exactly as I wanted to ,food was delicious,service was perfect I enjoyed celebrating my birthday there,definetly will come back for another occasion when

Aqua Nueva provided an outstanding dining experience for our Food Club’s 21 members. The personalised service, exquisite Spanish cuisine, and elegant ambience made for a memorable evening. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the team ensured every detail was perfect. Highly recommended for exceptional hospitality and bespoke dining experiences!

Very expensive, wasnt a great experience regardless of if we’d paid £50pp instead of £150pp. Staff were friendly though and venue was nice.

Amazing restaurant! Went with work collegues, and they treated us really well. Great location, gorgeous building and first-class service. Food was exceptional. Couldn't recommend it more. Will definitely come back, 5 stars!

Friendly staff, and great food :)

A Stunning Place with Authentic Spanish Flair. This place is absolutely beautiful, with an elegant décor. The menu offers a great variety of traditional Spanish dishes, each thoughtfully elevated with a unique personal touch. Every dish we tried was both delicious and beautifully presented. I recommend ordering 4 to 5 dishes per couple for a well-rounded experience. We had the Iberian ham croquettes, Spanish tortilla, octopus, lamb ribs, and pork croquettes—each one exceptional. The service was outstanding! The waitstaff was incredibly friendly, fun, and attentive. They ensured we were well taken care of, bringing out each dish in perfect succession, just as our waiter recommended, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The pricing felt absolutely fair. Everything we had—including a shared Crema Catalana for dessert, a glass of wine, a Coke Light, and a bottle of water—came to a total of £145. Well worth it! I loved it and will definitely be coming back!

Spent a beautiful evening at Aqua nueva. Everything was perfect, tastefully present delicious food. Would recommend! Special thanks for accommodating us as a group and offering a tailored experience.

I'm always weary of giving a 5 star review, but our experience at Aqua Nueva was worth of a few more stars. Food was superb (the pork loin was simply outstanding), they were incredibly accommodating of our large group and we were looked after with an attention to detail like I've never seen before. Come for the croquettes and the tortilla, and keep coming back again and again for the great experience.

Delicious food. Lovely atmosphere. Amazing service - hosted our large work group and created a custom food menu plus name tags so was super seamless!

5 star experience at Aqua Nueva, highly recommend the seafood croquettes & the team were very accommodating of our large work group!

Dined here for a food club event and the experience was exceptional - staff were super attentive, food was delicious and the afro-house music created an amazing vibe! Would definitely recommend for a nice dining experience in London.

Excellent customer service and the food was exquisite

The Aqua Neuva bar and restaurant located just of Regent street is fantastic. The atmosphere, decor and ambience were amazing. Just stopped for a drink but can’t wait to return for a meal.

Beautiful place but really tasteless dishes as they are supposed to be "Spanish", not worth their price.

I wasn’t expecting to love it this much

Cannot recommend this place enough. The food was exquisite. The service was absolutely impeccable - Dansel was incredibly attentive and helpful right the way through the entire meal from talking us through the tasting notes of the wine pairings and helping us understand all the dishes - and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic, warm welcoming and fun. Please give this place a go. You won’t regret

This venue is a great place for dinner or a special occasion. The interiors are tastefully designed, well-maintained, and atmospheric. However, what prevents me from rating this place higher than one star is the prices of drinks at the bar. From personal experience, I understand that the craftsmanship and expertise of a bartender are important when preparing the most sophisticated cocktails. However, I also know that serving a simple shot of bourbon with cola and ice should not cost £17.82 in this place. Many much more attractive venues in London offer basic drinks at significantly lower prices while providing an experience that was completely absent here. Of course, I might receive a response from the restaurant saying that if I can’t afford it, I shouldn’t come or order a drink. But that’s exactly what will happen, I will never be a guest there again. Greed is certainly not a desirable trait in business.

Great atmosphere and location. I had struggled in the past to find a nice Spanish restaurant in London and I liked every dish here. They have some proper traditional recipes. Price is generally a bit high but in this case was also great since we went with a deal by First Table app

Great experience Bricky is great.

The rooftop setting made the evening special, and the food did not disappoint.

The service was very good - our waitor Ronak was very attentive. Very nice ambiance

The small plates were perfect for sharing, and everything we ordered was a hit.

The food was really amazing, and Ronak provided a great service - always making sure to explain each dish and if we needed anything else on our table! The music and dim lighting were also just right!

Yes, this is the 2nd time that I have Bern to Aqua Nueva and again the experience was very good, I bought my cousin with me yesterday, as it was her Birthday last week and she thoroughly enjoyed being in the restaurant too. Your Food was Amazing and thank you to Denzil our waiter he was very attentive and very nice. Also thank you to Josephina, who took our coats was very nice and also the front of houseman downstairs too, who I didn't get his name though. Thank you, we will be back sometime in the future to Dine with you again.

Pretentious, overpriced and terrible staff. So many issues I don’t know where to begin but first of all a major error by the waiter giving the wrong plate to someone with a nut allergy - thankfully we realised he’d got them the wrong way round but then he tried to deny it! This is NOT OK and could have been life threatening yet the management didn’t seem to care in the slightest. Staff not trained to advise on the menu - particularly problematic as so many dishes have descriptions of unusual ingredients or preparations. Are we supposed to guess? Asked for sherry to have with the tapas to be told they don’t have any - what sort of Spanish restaurant doesn’t have sherry? - despite offering 4 types on their menu. Then later the manager tried to lie to me saying they are all sweet sherry and wouldn’t be appropriate to have with food! What a joke! Fino and manzanilla are both bone dry by classification so she clearly didn’t have a clue. Useless staff and food was pretentious and overpriced. You can spend half the money elsewhere for a better and more authentic meal!

No sé por dónde empezar tantos problemas, pero en primer lugar un error importante del camarero al darle el plato equivocado a alguien con alergia a los frutos secos - afortunadamente nos dimos cuenta de que los había entendido al revés, ¡pero luego trató de negarlo! Esto NO está bien y podría haber sido una amenaza para la vida, pero a la administración no parecía importarle en lo más mínimo. El personal no capacitado para asesorar sobre el menú - particularmente problemático ya que tantos platos tienen descripciones de ingredientes o preparaciones inusuales. ¿Debemos adivinar? Pedido de jerez para tomar con las tapas para que les digan que no tienen ninguno - ¿qué tipo de restaurante español no tiene jerez? - a pesar de ofrecer 4 tipos en su menú. Luego, más tarde, el gerente trató de mentirme diciendo que todos son dulces de jerez y no sería apropiado comer con la comida! ¡Qué broma! Fino y Manzanilla están ambos secos por clasificación, así que claramente no tenía ni idea. ¡Sin embargo, debe ser el cliente quien decida qué quiere beber y cuándo! Personal inútil y buen pretencioso y sobreprecioso. ¡Puedes gastar la mitad del dinero en otro lugar para una comida mejor y más auténtica!

Every dish felt thoughtful and unique, like nothing I’ve had anywhere else.

Very small portion sizes...very few dishes tasted good, most were just okay! Ambience is excellent but good portion, taste for the price was less than good...they could do so much better

Amazing food and service! The black seafood croquettes were a standout. Ronak was incredibly attentive, making our experience even better. Plus, there’s an offer on First Table, which is such a bargain!!

Had a great experience being served by Ronak! Really nice waiter who recommended us dishes and was helpful when we booked via First Table. The food, specifically the black seafood croquettes were really delicious! The chocolate ganache with the orange bits with the churros were also a hit!

Delicious food and great service. Ronak was very nice and professional. Thank you so much!

An amazing venue in the heart of London. Service - particularly from Ronak - was amazing, especially the care and attention he gave to presenting our cheese dish! Food really good and the venue itself is stylish and very appealing. Loved the outdoor terrace overlooking London - can't wat to go back in the Summer when not too cold to use it. Highly recommend for a special occasion or just as a treat!

Dinner here felt like a treat after a long week. Everything we tried was full of flavor, and the staff made sure we had a great time.

The vibe is relaxed but upscale, and the food is some of the best I’ve had in the city.

Stopped by for drinks and ended up staying for dinner—totally worth it.

Aqua Nueva is an excellent address! Easy to find, we were greeted warmly and escorted to our table. The Spanish cuisine is delicious, with a special mention for the cured ham. The atmosphere is pleasant and refined, thanks to a well-thought-out play of light. The servers are very kind and attentive. The rooftop offers a superb view, perfect for ending the evening. An experience that I highly recommend!

Elegimos Aqua Nueva para celebrar la Nochevieja, esperando una noche memorable, pero resultó ser un completo desastre. Comenzando con la comida: "mediocre" ni siquiera comienza a describirlo. Los platos eran sosos, poco imaginativos, y las porciones eran ridículamente pequeñas. Gastar 645 libras para una comida así se siente como un robo a la luz del día. En cuanto al servicio, fue francamente atroz. El personal era grosero, poco profesional y claramente abrumado. Tuvimos que esperar una eternidad entre cursos, sin disculpas ni intentos de compensarlo. Parecía que confiaban en la visión para justificar los precios escandalosos. El ambiente en general estaba seriamente falto de calidez y festividad, lo que es desconcertante para una celebración de Año Nuevo. Una gran decepción en todos los sentidos. Lo desaconsejo encarecidamente, especialmente para una ocasión tan especial.

I expected to see the fireworks or at least the countdown music for the new year but nothing happened! also the tickets prices wasn’t including anything even drinks or sitting.

Outstanding experience, wonderful food and excellent service. Will definitely be back again!

Don't like the music. Great decor. Posh vibe. Good flavored food. Overpriced, but defo worth getting the 50% deal from Firstable

Fabulous service and delicious tapas! The perfect Saturday brunch.

Came to aqua neuva for brunch. The food was brilliant and high quality, drinks were flowing and we never had an empty glass. Ronak our server was very attentive and polite would definitely recommend.

We were going to the theatre and didn't have much time, so the staff rushed our order through. They were all pleasant and accommodating.

Decent venue good views. Cocktails were quite expensive at £18 each beer was decent value.

Excellent meal, great service from Michela and her team however the restaurant was surprisingly quiet and lacked a bit of atmosphere 🥹

I believe the highlight of it was the atmosphere. We were intending to go for the set menu but right off the bat when arriving we were told some of the ingredients weren't available which was a bummer. Service was average at first, but the second person who came in made it better. Food was ok, not bad by any means, but not great... I was expecting this to be a very good Spanish culinary experience but I guess my expectations were not according to the place. The place is great, lighting and the vibes are on point, also there's some good space to walk around and it doesn't feel crowded. I would recommend anyone to go just with the right expectations, it's average food and what you're paying for is the place itself I guess.

Wonderfull experience. The Great decor was matched by equally great staff. Highly recommended. Went for the tapas will be back for the Japanese!

The advertising for the Saturday brunch is completely false. No live music, not even a dj .. no atmosphere , food was ok and staff were good but as there were only 3 other tables occupied they had nothing much to do. The worse brunch I’ve ever been to .. this was 21st December 2024

Awesome wine selection and super friendly staff! They made us feel so welcome—such a great experience!

Aqua Nueva offers a chic Spanish dining experience with a modern twist. Firstly, the service was exceptional. Despite us mixing up our scheduling—arriving a week early on a bustling Saturday evening—the staff graciously accommodated us without delay. Their professionalism and willingness to explain the menu and each dish added a touch of sophistication to our evening. Secondly, the food presented a mix of highs and lows. The octopus main dish was stellar; I had to hold myself back from licking the plate clean. My wife was looking at me weirdly while I was in throes of passion. Their renditions of patatas bravas and truffle croquettas were also impressive, though I wished for more than the few drops of sauce provided. The duck breast was tasty and not gamey at all but unfortunately became dry halfway through the meal. The pulled pork sliders were disappointing as the pork lacked salt and needed more seasoning, and the buns seemed undercooked or not properly browned. The ambiance is sleek and glamourous, featuring low-lit tables beneath an arched, copper-clad ceiling, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere for dates, work dinners or pre drinks before a long night out. While the overall experience was positive, the high prices for food that didn't blow my mind make me hesitant to return soon. However, Aqua Nueva would be a perfect venue for professional get togethers or special occasions where ambiance and service are paramount.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was a little loud. We were here celebrating our anniversary and Maria has made it special for us. Thank you.

This restaurant is gorgeous! Fresh, flavorful food, amazing cocktails, and a stunning atmosphere—perfect for a night out.

I had to organise our office Christmas party and this experience was given such an amazing feedback from the team. The mix of the japanese and spanish tapas food was amazing. Their selection of cocktails was also delicious after we finished a few bottles of their champagne. Service was top tier! As soon as we came in, we were ushered to the VIP area and waiters on hand waiting to serve us the drink we wanted. Beautiful setting with available outdoor space for those who vape or smoke. I'm not considering having more events there and looking at other offers Nueva has available.

I had the pleasure of organizing an event at Aqua Nueva, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and professional. The person looking after us was very polite and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. At the beginning, there was a small misunderstanding, but the General Manager and another manager, Emanuele, quickly stepped in and resolved the issue with great professionalism and care. I truly appreciate their effort and support. I highly recommend Aqua Nueva for events—excellent food, outstanding service, and a wonderful atmosphere!

We found the food pretty good but the service was definitely not worth a 15% service charge - we were continually having to hunt for a waiter and the wine service was pretty poor (more training required). The music was so loud that conversation was very difficult (we didn’t realise that basically the restaurant area is part of the bar/club). It’s obviously very popular with a young crowd who are more interested in social media than good food and conversation. Not for us.

My Wife and I had the most wonderful lunch with great food and the service was as good as I have had in any restaurant anywhere, thank you so much

Theatre menu is ridiculously small portions, consider bumping up

A group of 4 of us came out for the bottomless brunch. The food was very good, much better than we have experienced with other similar places and the drinks were very good. The service was excellent, special shout out to Cande (Fernandes) who kept us entertained and made sure we had a good time. It was a little quiet when we first arrived but the atmosphere did pick up durning the afternoon/evening

Really lovely place. We had a pre theatre set meal which was very reasonably priced and delicious. Super convenient for Palladium. Delicious cocktails!

A nice place to be with your friends on a night of party or celebration. The truth is I really liked going there to an electronics event.

The service was top-notch, and the ambiance felt like a little slice of Spain! Delicious tapas and sangria, plus the staff made us feel right at home. 10/10!

Fantastic Spanish food and even better service. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxing — perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. A must-visit!

Absolutely loved this place! The staff was warm and attentive, and the cozy, rustic vibe made the experience even better. The food? Incredible! Can't wait to come back!

The reception team was so welcoming and professional, making us feel special from the start. The cocktails were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Add to that great food and service. They should have more lights honestly but the whole experience was great.

Good food & good service, would go again

From the decor to the dishes, everything was perfection. The lamb dish was a standout! Will definitely return.

Great food and the staff was attentive, and the vibe was cool and yet welcome.

The food was exceptional, the atmosphere elegant, and the service flawless. Aqua Nueva is a gem in the heart of the city.

The service from Michela and Cande was outstanding—they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. Their attention to detail and cheerful attitude made the experience all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend Aqua Nueva for the fantastic team!The ambiance and music made for a perfect evening.

Visited the place on Saturday. Loved the inventive menu and stunning presentation. We could not access the roof because of the storm but highly recommend!

Great food and the staff was attentive, and the vibe was cool and yet welcome.

The place was very noisy, loud music, people shouting, I couldn't hear my wife and we had to shout to hear each other, the food quality was poor, for the first time in my life I paid a high amount and left the restaurant hungry.

super rooftop, very nice and beautiful view, good evening and good music limited choice of cockatils

I was looking forward to returning to this establishment. However, the manager was extremely rude and lacked basic customer service. Information was misleading, and we ended up leaving the venue.

This is the first time going to this place. It is huge and it has differents spaces. The bar, terrace, Aqua Kyoto restaurant and another área for dining in Aqua Nueva. We went for the menu of 65 pounds per person which is not worthy to pay. Nothing to do with Spanish food , I am spanish and apart from the olives ther rest is not spanish at all. The plates are so so small. Maybe it is better if you go for a la carte and try different plates. The music was extremely loud for dining. They should be able to control the differentes areas so the music is quiter while dining. The terrace is very nice with nice views and the food was good but nothing spectacular

I don't know about the food, but it's a steal to have something. We already know that London is “expensive” but the problem is not the price. The problem is that instead of serving you a cocktail they serve you ice. That's why the next time they tell me and I'll bring my bottle. Maybe it is a Spanish food and drink restaurant but it is evident that they lack the atmosphere, The Spanish blood and vibe because we are not such mice. If you are Spanish, don't come and save the money for some good beers at the bar in your town. Besides, they charge you 7.95 pounds for the terrible service.

It was a quiet Monday, but the service was still perfect. We did the experience menu and it was good for the price. Surprisingly had nice wines via the wine pairing. Overall, it was a good experience, and I will come back! Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience in on the Aqua Nuevas private rooms for my brothers 30th Birthday. Food and drinks were great but the service from our waiter (so sorry i've forgotten his name) was second to none. He made our evening with how great he was! Thank you :)
