Bar Gansa in Camden

came here for my birthday and had the best time! it’s all authentic and the live music adds a great touch!!

I booked table online 3 weeks priory for 1st Jan 2024 for my birthday and stated online booking on my email and its live. I tried call more than 10 times before hand on different days no answer. I asked them to confirm by text but no text. When I got to restraunt it was not open and had 7 guest waiting outside a real disappointment. PLEASE DONT BOOK ONLINE VERY UNRELIABLE!

It is a very nice place in the middle of London, you have the beers that we like Alhambra, San Miguel, Mahon with very good service and a super nice Spanish waitress Ayanna

We live in Spain, landed in Camden and thought why not. Superb tapas. Great atmosphere. I cannot recommend it highly enough for top quality tapas

We had our first date here and today is our anniversary so we came back. Morena and Ayanna were amazing, thanks for the lovely night.

Brilliant meal and staff were brilliant,thankyou Ayanha and Morena

What a pleasant surprise. Went there on a gloomy Sunday whim, and enjoyed every moment. Great tapas, and a live Flamenco show full of passion and energy. Recommended.

Exemplary service! Incredible drinks! ♥️♥️♥️

We are canaries visiting London, and upon arriving in Camden Town, we couldn't have been luckier than meeting Ayana... Everything about her is spectacular 😍. Apart from good food and atmosphere, what more could you ask for???

We went to eat and ordered some tapas since it is the only thing there is to eat and we ordered bravas and potatoes with broken eggs. We ordered the bravas with ketchup mayonnaise since I can't eat garlic or onion due to the intolerance I have and they didn't put it on us because they supposedly didn't have it and they only gave us spicy sauce. We asked for bread and we had to go 3 times to ask for it because they didn't bring it and then they charged us £4.50 which is almost €6 for a bit of bread and on top of that they charged us £3.13 for the service. It seems abusive to me since the service was terrible. I certainly don't recommend it.

lovely tapas! highly recommend the mussels in white wine and cream sauce (mejillones al vino) and the paella. great strong drinks (loved the mojito, margarita and sangria), great for happy hour

Happy hour friends were fantastic, the mussels in cream sauce were incredible, and the staff were top notch. A perfect dinner in Camden

Some of the best mussels I’ve had (ever), insanely good paella and an overall 10/10 experience!

Truly awful food - the worst we have ever had in a restaurant. The patatas bravas was basically oven chips with ketchup, the paella was basically buttery rice with unidentifiable bits and pieces in, the chorizo swimming in oil and the prawns overcooked

We went to the bottomless brunch here. It was quite a good deal as you get 3 tapas dishes and unlimited sangria. The food was very average, definitely much nicer tapas places to visit in London. The sangria was very strong and it kept coming so if you were looking for a boozy girls lunch with a bit of food it would be fine. Very nice staff.

Started well very attentive nice jug of water. Then took 20 mins to ask us what we wanted to drink then got it wrong. Ordered starters to share only one turned up. Whilst waiting for the starters one of the mains turned up which got sent back. Pork ribs were basically just bones in a tomato sauce. Lamb had basically no meat on it. To finish the toilet had no toilet paper. For what it was it wasn't worth the money.

Perfection. Amazing food (like beyond delicious, best tapas I’ve had in ages) and the staff are just delightful. So warm and lovely and fun and generous. Nick was the perfect host and spoiled my little sister rotten for her birthday. Just the best night. Felt like I was in Spain, not the middle of Camden.

Nick made my birthday so special! If you don’t go for the beautiful food go for the wonderful service. Treat you like family. Will return!!

Restaurante que hace pasarse por un bar español. La calidad de los platos es pésima y el precio muy elevado, las raciones son de un tamaño ridículo. Si eres español no entres con ilusión a este lugar. Champiñones, se observa el tamaño al lado del tercio de estrella Galicia. Lo que parecen patatas dicen ser huevos rotos con chorizo. Y los mejillones al vino blanco, no hablamos. PÉSIMO.

Great food, really friendly staff and not bad value for central Camden.

I used to work here. The manager takes the entirety of the so-called service charge for himself. The workers are treated awfully. He will also try and rob customers of their belongings by getting them drunk. Most definitely do not ask if you can charge your phone at the bar because it will “disappear”. Andrey is scum of the earth.

We had a bottomless brunch and Nicholas was amazing, great banter and so attentive. The vibe was awesome. Thoroughly recommend the croquetas and the chorizo but all the food was fab. Thank you Bar Gansa!

Went for bottomless brunch with my best friend and had the best time. The sangria is so good and the tapas were also really really nice. Lovely terrace with a lot sun and super nice staff. Will come back!

Good food good service nice atmosphere

First class service by Nick thank you for a lovely experience with my family

First class service by Nick (who likes Billy Brag btw). Food, wine and cocktails perfect famiky get together setting

Fantastic Tapas in the heart of Camden. We had a delicious lunch today served by a very polite and attentive waitress. Looking forward to the next visit!!! Lots of mouthwatering dishes to choose from and a large drinks menu too!!!! Sunday Flamenco as well... What's not to love

I ordered Valencia seafood & chicken and it was really delicious. Hospitality and service was excellent.

Delicious food and very nice staff. I would say instead of 3 pieces to share, to give us one more please, for instance to serve 4 croquettes, 4 churros...instead of 3 and I will score 5 stars. Despite that I keep coming as it's very tasty food and my friends are happy too.

Muy feliz con la atención Muy buena comida!!

Locale che si trova a pochi passi dalla stazione metropolitana di Camden Town, il cibo è molto buono e il personale dà attenzione al cliente. Consigliato

Ottimo cibo, splendida location e ambiente accogliente. Elisa e Morena gentilissime e squisite, sempre disponibili con i clienti. Grazie per l'ottima ospitalità

rte español, con puntos de vista inglés, cocineros ,sin comentarios......

Really good service, friendly and welcoming. Authentic setting. Delicious food.. what more could you want! Thankyou!

The service was not good at all. We had to ask twice for a half pint which took over 20 minutes to be brought. We asked three times for the bill and we felt very uncomfortable paying the 12% service charge, for a service that was terrible. The waiter didn't seem to know how to handle 3 different tables.

We just had the most delicious, delightful dinner. We just wanted small plates so ordered the bread and marinated olives (in my experience marinated olives taste like the marinate. These still had a predominantly olive flavor enhanced by the marinade. ), the mussels (very different presentation than what you would get in the states. It was a thick cream sauce ), and marinera seafood paella (the best paella we've ever had and we've had paella in Spain. This was full of crispy bits). Our evening was made complete by our server, Nicholas. He was so friendly and easy to talk to. We felt like we left with a new friend. We highly recommend Bar Gansa.

Loved it! By far best restaurant/ bar in camden. Brilliant staff, delicious food, warm atmosphere. The owner, Nick, made me feel like family. 100% will be here again. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an authentic spanish show and meal!!!

Thank you to Nick snd his staff for a truly memorable experience the ambience was great the food was excellent I can so recommend this restaurant and will return one day. My brother been coming here for years I understand why paella’s delicious

Absolutely amazing place!! Sangria was free flowing and service was fantastic.. we will be back!!

Amazing place! Service is impeccable. Nick and Morana were the perfect hosts! Prawns out of this world, and sangria so good! Camden find! We will be back

My brother and I met here for lunch which was amazing Nick and the other staff were lovely very helpful and gave us a truly memorable experience my brother has been coming to this restaurant for 25 years. The seafood paella was absolutely delicious compliments to the chef

Had a really lovely early dinner here this evening. A nice friendly greeting from the manager and staff were really friendly too. Great food! Served very quick. Authentic Spanish tapas, took us back to memories of our holidays. Will defo be back. Nick the manager is especially keen to create a welcoming atmosphere.

Very rude even doe I paid for alot to enjoy my day, now it's ruined 😒

Amazing service from Morena and Elisa! Thank you girls for an unforgettable night!

Ridiculous prices for bottled water - £5.50 for a bottle of still water!

Ottimo locale si mangia benissimo Elisa e Morena splendide ragazze pronte a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza.....simpaticissime Raffy e Nico

Went for the flamenco show and was not disappointed! Food was great and due to the music, dancing and audience participation, everyone had a great time!

Quando mangio in locale guardo la pulizia la qualità del menù e il servizio A Bar Gansa ho dato volentieri 5 stelline. Un saluto a Morena e Elisa. Arrivederci da Nico e Raffa

Cibo strepitoso e ottima atmosfera dove passarci una serata tra amici. Un grazie speciale a Elisa e Morena per averci accolto con un servizio impeccabile, sempre pronte allo nostre esigenze! Da ritornare assolutamente!!

Elisa e morena due cameriere con i fiocchi davvero un servizio da urlo mozzafiato sempre disponibili spiegazioni del menu non capendo la lingua davvero cordiali ..morena ha fatto un mojito davvero gradevole da ritornare sicuro❤

This bar has a lot of potential to be great in the highly competitive Camden scene. It is 2 minutes from Camden Town station. It has outdoor seating and nice warm Spanish colours inside. The servers are a mixed bag with the young Ecuadorian girl being very nice, the other staff seem quite new in the role with the male owner being friendly and frantic. The bar was slightly busy for the flamenco show that last 2 hours. This is the highlight of the bar and is good entertainment alongside the Spanish singers and guitar players. The sangria is good and seems to improve with each purchase. The food is the weak point and is average at best. The tapas are reasonably priced for London. The lamb skewers were fine but could do with more seasoning. The patatas bravas were good with the sauces provided enhancing the dish. The croquettes were the best, but also need more punch to the flavour. The paella was average and was a little disappointing. It also lacked punch, flavour and more importantly the socarrat. Once the show is over it highlights the weak points of the bar. Improving the drinks, and food and having a more consistent service would make this a must-visit. However, it is worth going to the shows for a fun evening.

Lovely afternoon Spanish brunch here with Prosecco - great location, atmosphere great, absolutely lovely staff, food fab. Shout out to Morenia and Elisa. We’ll be back soon, would recommend to all, enjoy!

Loved it here only popped in for a couple of drinks and bar snacks. Was really good and staff were very friendly. Be back soon xxx

Morena, Elisa and and Nick were amazing hosts at this intimate Spanish tapas restaurant just a stone's throw from Camden station. The food was delicious, service was attentive and atmosphere was spot on. Will definitely be coming back!

We looked this authentic little tapas place. All the food was top notch.

Good food, excellent service. Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the flamenco dancing.

Not only was the food and sangria amazing, but Nick and Daniel were the best servers ever! We had such a great time at bottomless brunch, we will definitely be back!!

Such an amazing place. Not exaggerating, the food is very good quality, is well presented and well done. Although I must say that the decoration doesn't make me feel like in Spain but the food does (I think that some kind of rustic style would be better), the service is very welcoming. Thank you so much

Ottima accoglienza, locale gradevolissimo, assolutamente consigliato! Morena ed Elisa sono meravigliose...! Ritornerò

I loved the service, the bartender Daniel was the best bartemder in England, and the manager too 🤗

Really lovely food, I had lunch with a friend. We had a few things and I can really recommend the patatas bravas and bread with tomato (see picture). Made with love. Nice background music, very acceptable prices and kind waiter too😊

Pre Concert Dinner of Tapas with friends, booked because of the positive reviews and close proximity to Jazz Cafe. The food was excellent, absolutely no issues, I know this is Tapas but in comparison with our local Tapas restaurant, we thought the portion sizes were on the small size for their cost. Service was warm and highly efficient, drinks were great, wouldn’t hesitate in highly recommending.

Ik dacht dat het goed zou zijn sinds het een hoge rating heeft maar dat was het alles behalve het eten valt niet te eten we hebben eerst een half uur buiten moeten wachten terwijl er geen volk zatde sfeer is er ook niet.

Visited with some friends during a weekend in London. We were here on a Saturday night. While I expected it to be busy, the service was very staggered. I ordered two tapas dishes and my friends ordered three. Despite being ordered all together, the food came in a strange order. I ended up with both of my dishes while one of my friends was still waiting for any of his to arrive. When the food did all arrive, it tasted great. The staff were also very nice and had good banter. They acknowledged the slow service aswell which makes all the difference. If you are in the Camden area and fancy some Spanish tapas, give this place a shot.

Amazing place for a drink. Big Thanks to Nickolas as he was amazing and looked after us.

NICK was amazing! Such a good host! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The cocktails are good and the service is friendly. The salmon à la plancha is also very, very good. I'd definitely recommend it!

I recommend the Sunday flaminco night. Lots of fun

Live song and dance was wonderful. Liked it a lot

Party of 15 celebrating a birthday. Great location, wonderful food in a relaxed atmosphere, nice sangria on tables. Staff were first class. Thank you Elisa, Miriane and Morena

Lovely sunny day and a super chilled brunch. Great Sangria from Morena and Elisa as our server. Thank you so much!

Good value for money, not the poshest place but super friendly and nice food. Morella and Elisa were great and the refills on bottomless sangria came so regularly!

I went with my family on Wednesday evening as I had heard the tapas was good. We had a lovely table with a booth, which was perfect with the kids. We ordered squid ink paella, octopus, calamari, muscles and patatas bravas with the sauce on the side for kids. The food was lovely! We are seafood fans and the produce was of a good quality. The muscles were a little on the big side for us but that’s the local produce from Spain they have and sauce they were in was delicious with lots of bread ti dip in! The Italian waitress was so lovely and the Manager Nick was an amazing host and attended to our every needs. We shall be going back without the kids tonight and take our friends. This shall be a regular place for us to visit with the family and without. It’s also a fab location off the beaten track just opposite Camden tube station. I highly recommend this little gem!

The fried aubergine was insane!!

We came here after spending our afternoon shopping & walking around Camden stalls. Took advantage of the good weather and sat outside. We ordered cocktails, they were okayyy, the old fashioned was a little too bitter and the aperol spritz was a little too sweet. The tapas were like the ones you get in spain in terracotta pots, and decently priced for London.

Quien conoce la gastronomia española queda decepcionado con este bar, la alitas de pollo poco hechas, las croquetas de jamon sin jamon y contadas, ordenamos una jarra de sangria y fue un desperdicio. Sin alcohol, sin frutas, solo era agua con colorante rojo. A mi amiga le sento mal la camida. Una decepcion total. Definitivamente no vuelvo mas. £54 por una comida mala y sin sabor

Nick and the team were so welcoming. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening meal of tapas and paella accompanied by very decent wine.

What can I say? This place is still the bee’s knees. I’ve been coming here since the early 2000’s. I think it’s changed hands but somehow has retained it’s uniquely warm and welcoming vibe. I went to meet a few old friends there recently and it felt like old times, the new bar manager was super friendly, on the ball and recommended us some top notch wine. He was a good laugh too. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Welcoming relaxed tapas Good cocktails and nice tapas. Relaxed and cheerful service Happy hour makes it excellent value

I spend a delightful and (very) long afternoon here with an old friend. We used to frequent this place in the early noughties and it hadn't lost its good vibe. The manager was so attentive, friendly and offered great advice on the wine and food, not to mention some friendly chit-chat throughout the afternoon. The food was great and his wine suggestions top notch. We finished off with an amazing Mojito. The waiting staff were also wonderful.

Nik and Miriane are amazing! Want the best tapas in Camden? Come here. Tucked on Inverness Street, this is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.

Family of four from Oslo, Norway: Wed 17th. Great service, tasty, delicious tapas food. Stylish and fresh interior. The owner was most welcoming and caring for his guests! Don’ t miss out on this gem in Camden Town!

Great food and great vibes in heart of Camden Town. Friendly staff and one of best meals I have had in London and great value. Tapas, Mains, and drinks were top notch.

Popped in to this lovely tapas bar on a whim this evening. Super welcoming and fun atmosphere as soon as we walked in. Had a range of tapas from their menu which is very reasonably priced and genuinely the best tapas we've eaten in this country. Would recommend to anyone! :)

Un buen sitio para ir a comer en Campdem.

Amazing. Food was incredible and service was out of this world. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Server suggested all of the most amazing food and couldn’t have been more friendly. 11/10.

Parfait. Sympathique. Tapas excellents. Sangria aussi....et équipe très sympathique. Seul regret: les avoir découvert le dernier jour.

ate very well. the service is impeccable, the servers were attentive and extremely kind. Thank you very much for having welcomed us so well !

Was visiting Camden. Popped in here for lunch and a drink. Staff were amazing. Great atmosphere. Great cocktails.

Second year visiting Bargansa (while attending a music festival in Camden). Great tapas - unfussy and well-priced menu. Fantastic cocktails. Wonderful service from friendly and welcoming staff. We’ll be back next year. Thanks Nick and your team. 🙂

Incredible food, great service, 5*

Wanted Tapas whilst in Camden and wandered the streets looking for same, saw sign saying Tapas....went in got Tapas and very good as well....lamb and paella outstanding 👏

This was absolutely amazing!! Nik was so much fun and had awesome service. The staff was lovely and the tapas were super yummy!! Thanks for a great evening, Nik!!!

Nick was fun and helpful, picking out wine and share plates. Delicious break!

Unfortunately our experience wasn’t good. We waited for more than 1,5 hour for the first tapa to arrive the table. With no explanation, or excuse for the delay. The bread finished, the beer finished… The food lacked taste, underseasoned. Nowhere near spanish food… very underwhelming experience. Wouldn’t recommend!

We came for a bottomless brunch, at a very reasonable cost. We had a great time here - fab food, lots of good quality prosecco and excellent service! Would definitely come back.

Una piacevolissima esperienza.. molto buono il cibo ma soprattutto l’accoglienza e la simpatia di Morena ed Elisa! Top🔝

Sono stata a Camden Town in questo posto fantastico...cibo buonissimo,paella abbondante e squisita, ottimi cocktails, servizio eccellente grazie alla professionalità, alla bravura, alla gentilezza e alla simpatia di Morena e di Elisa...grazie ragazze siete il top...mi sono sentita a casa...ci rivedremo molto presto...lo consiglio vivamente a tutti.
