Aqua nueva in City of London, Westminster

Fabulous venue, made great by awesome service. Despite being full we asked for a bigger table as it was a romantic evening and the F and B manager did everything to give us what we wanted. Sorry I can’t remember the staffs name but to be fair all the staff worked hard. Loved the Paella and then drinks on the terrace later.

Went there yesterday, thought we would have a lovely Latin evening with Spanish music etc, well the music was rubbish, mix of house music very loud, the atmosphere is not what you see on adverts. The only thing good is the food, but nothing else. Aqua Nueva it’s not for me, will NOT return!

Terrible customer service, the staff who were serving us was avoiding is the whole night to a point I’ve had to go up to the waiter. One of the managers (Asian Man) had a terrible attitude didn’t look like he wanted to be there. Coming from someone who works in customer service what we experienced was truly disappointing for a fine dining restaurant. Food was quite salty and we had to return one of the briskets as it looked like someone had taken a piece out of it. Croquettes were nice though. One of the managers was super nice when we explained our experience however for the price we paid, we expected a lot more from both the food and the service. Unfortunately would not return best to go Aqua Kyoto. DJ was AMAZING though really created a nice vibe throughout our dinner!

First time here and it was a great experience. We came for the dark brunch - music was amazing and Ronak was our server. He went above and beyond with service, making sure that we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this place, will def be coming back!

We were on the terrace, where it took 10 minutes to bring the menu and another 25 minutes to take our order, where there weren't many tables occupied, and whenever we called a waiter, they told us to wait 1 minute and never came to the table, we had to get up from the table to call someone to serve us, a total disregard, Rade was always telling us to wait, when he was serving all the other customers except us, improve!

Great evening and setting. Denzil was amazing. Food was 10/10 and the rooftop view was stunning too.

Brilliant evening, great service from Denzil, thank you for making it a special evening.

Such a good experience! Big shout out to our waiter Ronak. Super attractive and always on top of our needs 💕

Me and my family had dined with you for a very special occasion for my parents. Had booked a rooftop table and the experience was amazing. The ambiance, the DJ and especially the food were superb. Not to forget the person attending us, Ronak, he was very attentive and knowledgeable. He recommended us some of your best drinks and dishes and was very polite. The food that we ordered was Veg Bomba rice, ensaladita, Crab tostada, bikini barcelona and Mushroom guiso and those were pretty amazing. One of my favourites was Crab tostada since i love sea food. Overall an amazing experience. Would love to dine again!

Have been waiting for 24 min for someone to take my order. They just said 1 minute and never come

So glad we found this gem—first came for brunch and then again for dinner. The food? Excellent. The consistency? Even better. Tried Veg Bomba Rice, Malaga Bread, and Ensaladita both times, and the taste stayed perfect. Everything else like Mushroom Guiso and Tomato Bread was just as delicious. Shoutout to Ronak Trivedi for being the heart behind the experience. A warm review from Vedant, and I’ll surely be back!

Ronak explained the brunch menu And since I eat halal he suggested me to go for salmon m not the huge fan though for sea food but this was the banger and drinks suggested were amazing especially basil leaf since I don't prefer alcohol he suggested me non alcoholic beverage and my family was amazed with the service and the flavours

Absolutely amazing food and service!! This was our first time visited with my friends and we didn’t know what to order, a lovely staff Ronak recommended us some great choices. His service till we finished was very friendly. And the food on our table was mouth-watering. I’ve never had such dinner as good as this one before, will definitely come back!

I visited 2 times here and this Ronak was so helpful and humble he helped me understand the brunch menu when I came with family for quick one to try flowing paloma and bubbles and the second time the la carte menu never regret coming here as the taste is same and amazing with this super amazing person rohan. Once again thanks for making my rohan see you again

Visited Aqua Nueva twice and had the most delicious food and amazing service. Both brunch and Ala carte were amazing. Ronak gave exceptional service! Some of my favourite dishes: veg bomba rice, tomato bread and mushroom guiso. Must visit if you’re in London!!

Visited for brunch and had an amazing experience! A few dishes like Veg Bomba Rice, Malaga Bread, and Ensaladita stood out—and funnily enough, we had them again during our à la carte visit and the taste was identical—super consistent and delicious. Also loved the Crab Tostada and Bikini Barcelona—highly recommended! Huge thanks to Ronak Trivedi for always ensuring top-notch service. This is Saily leaving a very happy and full review—will definitely be back

Repeat dishes, repeat cravings😋 tried veg bomba rice, malaga bread, ensaladita twice and loved them both times. Kudos to Ronak Trivedi for running the show so smoothly. Much love!!

Came again , and once again, the food and service were fantastic! Tried Veg Bomba Rice, Malaga Bread, and Ensaladita again—same taste, same deliciousness. That consistency says a lot! Also tried Mushroom Guiso, Gambas, Tortilla, and Tomato Bread—each dish was packed with flavour. Big shoutout to Ronak Trivedi for making every visit feel special. can't wait to return for more

Tried this place for brunch a while ago and again recently from the à la carte menu—safe to say, I’m obsessed! The Veg Bomba Rice, Malaga Bread, and Ensaladita were consistent both times, which is honestly so rare to find these days. Loved the Crab Tostada and Bikini Barcelona too—unique and bursting with flavour. Big appreciation for Ronak Trivedi for curating such a lovely experience. Kudos from Adi!!

a nice rooftop Restaurant with London skyline view. Good food especially prawns and fresh cheese. Ronak was quite attentive and helpful with the questions related to menu. Would be there soon on my next trip to London.

Best night spent. Reggaton music adds more groove to the place. Drinks are amazing. Major shoutout to RONAK TRIVEDI for making it effortless and making us feel comfortable throughout our night.

I walked in with my colleagues post work for some drinks but the vibe made us go for crazy tapas. Aioli, olives, lamb, mushroom and cheese balls, tomato bread, potato bravas, crab, piglet. Amazing food and the ambience of the place + spotting London eye from the restaurant just made our eve. The waiter and manager took good care of us were friendly and really gave nice suggestion like chilli oil with cheese balls as i am indian and i love spicy though the combo sounded weird but was low-key good (Ronak and Cande). Would be back soon as i have heard about the crazy parties on weekends.

It was my first time in aqua nueva with my family and i felt very welcomed. Your server/helper named Ronak and manny are sweet and kind. He ensured our drinks were served according to our taste match. Cheers to their service and adaptability.

A star less as the food was amazing but the portion was small for the price paid. Otherwise, bang on ambience, best music, vibrant. Dark and aesthetic. Fancy staff. Beautifully got served by Ronak who helped us with our food and drinks making sure it remains fresh throughout the time. Kudos to Ronak♥️ thank you for your help

Good food good music and the waiter Ronak was extremely helpful and took care of my dietary requirements

I was there with my fiancée enjoying sun and Afrohouse music. Service by Ronak was good quite attentive. Food was nice but the portion size were small. Would love to be back soon.

A nice place to enjoy Spanish tapas. Weekends are a vibe at Nueva and Ronak was amazing...🥂😍

Completely exceeded expectations! The rooftop setting is stunning, but it’s the food and service that really stood out. The bravas potatoes were absolutely unreal perfectly crispy with just the right kick. The beetroot duck and sardines were equally impressive, beautifully balanced and full of flavour. A big thank you to Ronak ⭐️, who looked after us with such warmth and attention, he really made the night feel special. You can tell he cares about the experience. Can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely loved this place as we walked in through Ronak's recommendation! The ambiance is cozy, the staff is friendly shoutout to Ronak and Beatrice, and was nothing short of amazing. I had the truffle sandwich, cheese balls and Guiso mushroom and it was packed with flavor. The torrija was also top-notch—don’t miss the cocktails. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.”

It was okay. The food was decent, though a bit overpriced for the portion size. Service was good Ronnie explained the menu well Veg Bomba Rice and artichoke flower was a surprise recommendation from him. Not a bad experience, I might return if I’m in the area, but would go out of my way if the portion size were a little more and some more veggie options.

Went with colleagues after work, sharing plates kept conversations flowing and the speedy service meant we never stared at empty glasses.

Friendly hosts, flavorful pintxos, and skyline views made our evening unforgettable.

Cande was so thoughtful and helpful with us through the dinner and made sure we had the best experience ever.

Cande did provide us such a lovely service during our Dark Brunch night, I will definitely come back

Food was delightful, but service was outstanding, from the lady on the phone being so accommodating to the floor staff going out of their way to make our night special. The star or the show was kande, his charisma and service was very well recognised and made us feel very welcomed, thank you to everyone.

Really enjoyed my night and the food. Waiter Cande was very friendly, he made the night! Thankyou!

The best service ever from cande, super friendly and helpful. Made our night

Great services and very sociable our waiter Cande

Cande looked after us will definitely be visiting again!

Lovely dinner here. Food was great and fab service from Denzel. :)

Aqua Nueva nails contemporary Spanish dining without losing authenticity. From the silky tortilla with truffle to the perfectly charred octopus, every plate felt thoughtfully crafted. Staff guided our wine pairing with patience and enthusiasm, ensuring each sip complemented the bold, sunny flavors.

Loved the upbeat playlist while nibbling jamón croquetas, service was swift and attentive without feeling rushed at all.

Plush interiors, smooth Rioja, and live DJ beats date night success guaranteed.

We had a Fork promotion booked which was 50% off however for some reason on their system the booking showed one week later. One member staff agreed to seat us with the 50% off offer however the other member refused to give us the offer and we ended up paying full price. They would not honour the promotion Disappointed.

Could sip their sangria and watch sunsets forever.

Good roof top bar with nice views. Great decor. Failed on service. Full bar, only 3 people serving, people waiting around the whole bar , the bartenders were only stood in their 3 spots, weren’t acknowledging others waiting for longer. One bar was also table service, understood. However even with a reservation there was no where to sit. Upon finding a table, the server said the table couldn’t be used. Why only table service when the bar was full? More bartenders needed.

Aqua Nueva offers a stunning atmosphere and consistently great food. The stylish rooftop setting, vibrant ambiance, and the Spanish flavours make it feel special. It is a top spot for a dining experience in London.

A rare London spot where ambience, artistry, and warmth collide. We started on the cedar scented rooftop watching Regent Street glow, then moved inside for a parade of tapas gambas al ajillo sizzling, manchego croquetas impossibly creamy, churros airy and addictive. Every course came with a genuine smile and thoughtful explanation that made us feel like cherished regulars.

Sunset tapas on the terrace absolute magic.

From the moment the host whisked away our coats to the last petit four, everything felt seamless. Pricey, yes, but the level of craft and care justifies every pound spent.

Booked for a birthday and the team surprised us with cava shots on the rooftop little touches like that turned a great night into a special memory.

Booked for a Friday in the restaurant for my birthday dinner, was an excellent vibe. However portions sizes for food were very small but the food was delicious. Complimentary peppers and drinks, the service was a little slow but that was relative to how busy it was and our waiter Ronak was lovely and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. After food we were all given wristbands to enjoy the terrace which had excellent music thanks to DJ Deb! Friends and I had an amazing evening.

nice place to visit, went there for dinner previously as well and it was good. went for the rooftop this time and enjoyed our time there. Would be a nice spot to frequent throughout the summer & catch sunsets. Good vibes at at night also. service can be a little slow at times but not terrible

Great experience ! Super food and service thanks to Denzo ! The place is lovely for a short break in London. Will definitely come back.

Food, service and atmosphere all were great but really small portion sizes. If you go as a group, I would recommend ordering a lot of different tapas dishes instead of “main” here! Overall, really good experience and food :) rooftop is amazing and service was excellent!

Really delicious Spanish food! Nice atmosphere and service too

Great rooftop bar overlooking Regent Street. Cocktails were delicious, and the vibe was great! Looking forward to coming back already!

Excellent food, great service, lovely staff and a very cool venue with an excellent terrace for outside drinks. Really enjoyed our evening.

Aqua Nueva was good. The food was very very tasty. Tasty to the point we were quite let down they were so strict with portions. The peppers were surprisingly very good, well spiced and all. The skewers also were quite nice, but portions yet again. lol I think one thing I liked was the fact you could shuffle through all the drinks on a “free flow” brunch plan, unlike other places that restrict you to one type drink all through the time allowed. It’s dissatisfying getting up from an £80 “brunch”, but still quite hungry. A sentiment shared by more than one person in our 4 person group.

Nice location, crazy prices, we had dinner completely in the dark, tiny portions, rude staff. We asked to increase the brightness of the lights to be able to see the dishes and the people we were sitting with and they responded very rudely without even satisfying our request. We ate little, we left hungry and despite this the bill was €300. A shame and an insult to Spanish cuisine.

really good experience. Good environment, good service with Banzil and delicious and creative food. Enjoy it so much. Definitely come here next time!

If you’re looking for a brunch that blends luxury with energy, Aqua Kyoto’s got you. The food was super fresh and the bottomless cocktails were strong but smooth. Music was on point, and the staff were super friendly. Slightly on the pricey side, but worth it for a celebratory vibe. Ideal for birthdays or girls’ brunches.

We had an amazing experience with delicious food and our waiter (Danzil) was brilliant, couldn’t be happier.

Great food with excellent service. However, the atmosphere was a bit lacking, possibly as it was a Tuesday lunchtime. We opted for the Theatre Menu, which was really good. What made it, however, was the service - professional yet informal, friendly but efficient. Would definitely consider coming back for lunch.

Super cool spot tucked away above Regent Street. The crowd is trendy, the playlist is smooth, and the food is on point. It’s definitely a place to see and be seen. Bring your best fit, book ahead, and be ready to drop some £££ but it’s worth it for the weekend vibe alone.

Kyoto Nights at Aqua Kyoto is on top level. The atmosphere is sultry and sophisticated, with ambient lighting, curated DJ sets, and a seamless flow from dinner to drinks. A perfect evening for those who appreciate modern luxury with an energetic edge.

Tasty food accompanied with friendly service, nice music and drinks, terrace is lovely, Beatrice was fantastic!!!

Appalling experience. I came in planning to buy a £15 cocktail — which is what was advertised — only to be charged £20.48 without warning. There was no mention anywhere of a service charge, and no one bothered to tell me at the bar before taking my payment. When I asked why I was charged more, I was told it was for “service” — despite the fact that I stood waiting at the bar and was handed a drink in a plastic cup. If you’re going to add a discretionary service charge, you are legally and ethically required to inform customers first — not sneak it in after payment. Refusing to refund when challenged only highlights the poor attitude toward basic customer respect. Plastic cups, hidden charges, and no transparency. Absolutely not acceptable for a bar in central London. I won’t be back — and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else either.

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.

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.

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!

Estamos acostumbrados a muchas experiencias gastronómicas finas en Londres (también visitamos valencia en el verano) , y después de navegar por algunos restaurantes en primera mesa nos instalamos en Aqua Nueva. Después de echar un vistazo al menú, era escéptico que las porciones serían pequeñas, sin embargo, me sorprendió gratamente cuando nuestro camarero informativo nos llevó a través de cada uno de los platos con intrincada atención al detalle, que fue extremadamente útil. Nos acomodamos con las patatas bravas, jamón ibérico, croquetas manchegas y de trufa, deslizadores de mollete, rejilla de cordero y pulpo. Todo estaba cocinado a la perfección y maravillosamente sazonado, sin embargo, el cordero era absolutamente perfecto y podríamos haber tenido tres de esos platos cada uno. Si me pidieran que se lo recomendara a un amigo, diría que si te encanta tu comida y te encanta un buen bocadillo para la cena, ¡Aqua Nueva será tu mejor opción!

No teníamos una reserva y por suerte para nosotros, tuvimos una mesa para 3 el sábado por la noche, un poco de música ruidosa, pero comprensible como era el sábado por la noche. Comida bien presentada, sabrosa y colorida, no esperes que va a ser como las tapas tradicionales españolas porque no lo son, este es un restaurante de alta cocina. Felicitaciones a la chez por mi plato favorito de la noche "Jerusalem alcachofa" un reto tan vegetal cocinado con perfección. Mención especial a nuestra camarera Beatrice (creo que así se llama) por ser tan profesional, estar pendiente de los detalles y estar tan atenta con nosotros. ¡Se merece un aumento de sueldo!

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

No estaba preparado para el espectáculo de este restaurante. El lugar es impresionante, la comida era excepcional y el servicio personal pero no intrusivo. Los dos teníamos el menú de antes del teatro, que era perfecto, mi amiga es vegetariana y estaba abrumada por la comida, la presentación y los sabores, de hecho dijo que era su mejor restaurante de tapas de la historia. Todos los platos servidos estaban deliciosos, y los churros son una necesidad! Gracias por una experiencia maravillosa. desgracia no experimentamos el bar o terraza, pero seguramente volveremos a

🤵🏻‍♀️ 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 :)

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.

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!
