Bar Iberico in Nottingham

No reservations, great food especially the crispy cauliflower! Really good service too, quick, polite, polished. Excellent choice for a romantic dinner! Some good vegan and vegetarian options too, plus non alcoholic beer on draft.

I cannot fault this place. Great staff, great vibe, awesome dishes. I cannot wait to go back.

We had a wonderful evening. Jordan was amazing. He was warm, professional, extremely knowledgeable and made our night very special. Thank you 😊😊

Fab food, everything was so flavoursome! Restaurant environment was a little noisy

Jake was lovely, and the food was incredible as always!

We have been before, but felt a need to review this time. The service was quick, attentive and helpful. The food was hot and full of flavour, and arrived quickly and everything looked attractive to eat as well. We really enjoyed this lunch time dining experience whilst people watching and enjoying the Hockley vibe. We washed our lovely lunch down with a pint of Spanish beer... Totally recommended, will definitely frequent again. Happy customers

I randomly found this place while walking and it blew my expectation. The location is very good, not crowded and not empty, they got plenty of seats outside, inside and downstairs. I came during graduation weeks and it was slightly busy but, that didn't stop the staff from serving at appropriate time and nothing came late.

As soon as we walked in we were able to choose where we want to sit and were offered a jug of water to have as we chose our meals. They have a wide range of tapas choices as well as offering a menu rapido of £16.95 where we got Mixed olives, Market fish pinchos and Crispy chicken and spicy jerez sauce, which was a good size for the price. We also chose a crispy lamb and goats cheese flatbread that was perfect. The quality of the food was amazing and it was all very delicious, furthermore, the staff were very kind and attentive. Thank you!

First time visiting, with partner being from Spain he knows his Tapas !! Wow wow wow food was on point ! Drinks were amazing and the pudding was to. Shout out to Saul what a lovely polite guy . We will be back . Dale and Emma

We loved the tapas and drinks. The service was attentive and friendly, even tho it was busy. The shrimp was awesome, the mushrooms fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend.

Go here regularly, the menu rapido is really good value for money, food is always excellent.

Superb service, great food, and atmosphere. Served quickly with authentic tapas - a must visit! Thank you to everyone there for a very enjoyable experience

Great bar! Wonderfull staff, delicious food and drinks!

The food looks delicious but tastes terrible

Great place for sharing plates. Don't think of it as one meal each, but as a variety of things everyone will share. Essential to have the mixtures of flavours, and some spicy some creamy, for maximum effect.

Me and a friend had dinner here before going to a concert at the arena. It is ideal with parking close by and the arena just down the road. The staff were welcoming and very helpful and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were brilliant. I can definitely recommend the Spanish tortilla, the crispy chicken (which had a good kick of heat from the sauce) and the crispy cauliflower was really nice. We finished with the churro’s and chocolate sauce, which finished the meal perfectly. It really made the night more enjoyable and we would definitely eat there again.

Service was a little slow but they knocked a meal off the price without us asking. Food was absolutely delicious, will definitely be returning!

I don’t know how this restaurant has such a good score. Food was at most edible. Service was good though.

The opening time says midnight but we went at 10pm and apparently they don’t accept anyone after 10pm on a Saturday

Delicious food as always, great service Must try’s Lamb flat bread Steak tartare and bone marrow Sticky chicken Pork belly

Excellent food and amazing service

Had a really enjoyable meal! We went for the rapido set and ordered some extra tapas to try and the charcuterie board. The food was great, the staff were lovely and friendly and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Loved the steak tartare, charcuterie, pinchos, chorizo, croquetas, cauliflower, and loved the cinnamon egg tarts! The one we weren't so keen on was the gish as it tasted a bit perfume-y, but it was definitely interesting to try, and everything else was extremely enjoyable! Went for a birthday meal, so we did go all out! Would definitely return!

Absolutely lovely, food brilliant, enjoyed everything. Would highly recommend.

Good tapas - quite a wide selection

When we first went to the restaurant, it was incredibly full and there were no empty tables, so we were given a device and told that we would be called with this device when the table was empty, and while we were waiting, we walked around the area, which we liked very much. Talking about the food, it was simply amazing. Every meal we ate was delicious and we ate to the point of losing ourselves. The same was true for cocktails, special cocktails really tasted great. Even though the atmosphere inside was a little noisy due to the crowd, it wasn't too bad. A mistake was made in the service and the wrong plate was brought. Even though one of us was a vegetarian, the plate was served with pork, but we noticed the mistake before eating it. And the table was not cleaned regularly. Apart from these, it can be said that the employees are mostly friendly. For those who will go to this place, we definitely recommend grilled broccoli with avocado sauce, pistachio bread and smoked almonds.

The menu was confusing at first but once we understood and ordered we were completely blown away. Their food is really tasty 😋 , we will definitely go back

Absolutely gorgeous food and atmosphere. By far my favourite place in Nottingham.

I was supposed to come here on a first date once…not sure we would have made it past that night if we had eaten here…Okay that’s harsh, but this is a classic tale of expectations not meeting reality. I opted for the “Menu Rapido”, with the Patatas Bravas and Sticky Pork Ribs as my tapas options. Whist the patatas bravas was good (you can’t go wrong with potatoes, and if you do we have a big problem), the ribs has a strange flavour. Neither were they weren’t easy to eat; I can imagine the sheer horror on my date’s face had I had the chance to order them that night… Additionally, the ribs had an extra £2 charge, something I did not realize and quite frankly, do not believe is worth it. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere. Overall, whilst the experience was nice, this restaurant won’t be getting a second date with me.

Reasonably priced buy the food exceeded our expectations, small wait to get a table but well worth it.

Came to this restaurant with friends last year, great service and food. Told my wife how good it was, took her this last Wed tea time, although there was 2\3 tables spare and a couple sat at a table made up for 4, we were told that I couldn't sit at any of the spare tables unless I was a 4 !!... and so was turned away whilst they had empty tables, unbelievable arrogance and attitude to customers ! Wife very unimpressed !!..

We have been to Iberico many times so we like the food but this review is for the staff. Helpful, clear, accommodating and cheerful. It makes all the difference. Thank you.

I was wrong when I thought "it'll be just another tapas place" - the food here has a lot of care lavished on it. Each dish is really distinctive and delicious.

1st time here after travelling from Birmingham to see friends! Food was amazing and just what you would expect from a Tapas place. Atmosphere was nice, but as we were there at around 5pm on a Wednesday the restaurant was very full with several big and noisy groups which just took the edge off it slightly. Will definitely be coming back when I am in Nottingham again

Great food but the service was a bit of a mess. The 10% 'optional' service charge really put a downer on the experience.

This restaurant has an all vegan menu as well as non-dietary restricted so is a great place for a variety of people. I had the bread, crispy cauliflower and vegan blue cheese. Recommend all 3 (although the menu has since been updated). Portions were generous, I couldn't finish everything. Lovely staff!

Always love coming here and it has never disappointed.

had a great time, chloe was amazing!!

Lovely tapas, we really enjoyed it and I’m not one for sharing food. Had about 5 dishes (cauliflower, breads, beef and pil pil prawns) and were stuffed (although always room for a cheeky shared pudding - cheesecake was divine)) this was recommended by a work colleague and they were so right.

Not had tapas.in years and really enjoyed it here nice staff and a great selection of food

Fabulous in every way. Despite a reputation for being really busy our early evening vist was just right in terms of buzz without pandemonium. The food, we took advatage of the 'Menu Rapido', was fabulous all dishes exactly as described and served perfectly. The King Prawn Pil Pil are not on the list below but are outstanding. Staff were fabulous even discreetly noting my disability and adjusting subtly.

This would be a solid 4 stars if it were better value for money. The portions sizes are small which is correct and great for sharing, and mostly the food is ok. In fact I'd say everything from the josper grill is very good. It's just that each dish in my opinion is £2 to £3 more than it should be for the size and quality. Worst offenders were the ribs and the crispy cauliflower (which I actually found unpleasant - over cooked cauliflower battered and fried, drowning in an indifferent syrup). The anchovy flatbread would have been reasonable value if it weren't so mean with the toppings - the butter, lemon and buerre blanc were not apparent on what we were served. Drinks are OK. Service is friendly. Food came too quickly (almost all at once) for my preference. But at least that meant we could leave sooner...

Every dish has a strong taste and a strong salty taste. People at one table asked for water three times.

Food was incredible - best restaurant I have been to. We got there at 6 and got a table as soon as we got there. James was a lovely waiter and very friendly and helpful!

Having eaten a lot of food all over the world can genuinely say this was the best meal I have ever had! The food was incredible. Who knew Cauliflower could taste soooooo good! Will be back thank you 🙏

Nice tapas, decent atmosphere, busy when I visited

Wonderful tapas. Great, knowledgeable service. Loved it. Only disappointing part of the evening was going to the loo. Awful. Out of 3 loos, one lock didn't work and one was completely blocked.

Love this little gem,gorgeous food 😍

Great tapas. Very good food helpful staff. We enjoyed our visit.

Might be the best spanish-ish tapas in Nottingham. The food was unreal. Best churros I've maybe ever had.

For a Michelin star restaurant I expected more. The food was okay but not the best I’ve had. The food was okay, did not excite me. What did shock me was that the food gave me food poisoning!! Extremely disappointing after the amount I paid & tipped. So I would not recommend this restaurant.

Food was great, particularly the ribs, the lamb and beef pinchos. However, the market fish was not nice at all and ended up being the only dish left over by the end of the meal. Table server was excellent in suggesting what/how much to order and made sure we were taken care of. However, the lady who came to clear the table was passive aggressive (perhaps she was in a rush to finish as it was around 9:30ish on a Tuesday night) but she really annoyed us with that. This was supposed to be a lovely birthday meal for my dad but she ruined the vibe by the end of it.

Everything we ordered was absolutely superb, best tapas we've ever had!

Really helpful staff, we weren't waiting too long for service and they were attentive. Really interesting and delicious cocktails, wanted to order one of each! All 4 of us ordered a 'menu rapido' each which was enough per person, great for sharing. I couldn't get enough of the spicy mini chorizo, the crispy cauliflower was delicious and don't underestimate the sourdough bread with oils!

Came for lunch, food was really nice. Got the cauliflower, mushroom carpaccio and patatas bravas, they were all delicious and big portions! Staff are friendly and helpful and the place is really cute.

Absolutely love this restaurant. The food is always excellent and so tasty and the service is spot on. Its always busy so be prepared for a bit of a wait for a table but it'll be worth it. Great atmosphere too 👌

i didn't know that this place is this much good! i am a huge spanish tapas fan so i was always thinking i would rather go to spain than eat in uk, but this place is actually spain standard!

Excellent tapas. Pleasant staff. Reasonable price.

Rude staff worker (hint: ginger). Refused to sit us straightaway, as a pair. We were given the option to wait 45 mins, whilst there were two free tables of four. We questioned why, and the meek, clueless waiter couldn’t even give us a reasonable and definite answer and insinuated that our custom was not valued over a party of 4. In the past we have been sat on a table of four as a pair, so why the sudden change of heart? And we always used to tip generously. We’re very put off from returning now. They don’t have a booking system and they are selective to whom they want as customers. BI need to humble themselves.

Great food, affordable prices for the standard. Very nice service with a Michelin star given for a reason. Even though the standard is high, the atmosphere is relaxed and the service is very nice. Great for going out with a group of friends to share food.

Delightful food, we sat at the bar watching the food being prepared, it was a Rea lovely atmosphere there, very busy they are clearly doing well, deservedly so

Great take on the Spanish tapas. Lovely food, thoughtfully prepared and served with calm assurance. Had a real buzz around the place without feeling overcrowded even though it was full. Definitely be going back.

Food was ok, staff were lovely and good atmosphere. Catalan tomato bread was delicious

Visited for the first time on a Friday evening, myself and my son didn't have a table booked but only had to wait a few minutes, we were served by a lovely young lady who was very helpful and friendly...I didn't take my glasses so I couldn't see the menu and she guided me through it and also suggested some things to try, which were delicious. Highly recommend going, it was very busy so you may have to wait but it's worth it ..the service and food were fantastic...thank you Leah for your help it was very much appreciated x

Underwhelming unfortunately. Bar service was good.

An amazing restaurant with great food at respectable prices considering the quality and portion sizes, would recommend the cauliflower.

We're regular here, highly recommend!

Good place to drink, not good place to eat. 5/5 for drinks: many options for alcohol, wines, cocktails and cocktails. 2/5 for food: tastes for paella is pretty fishy and smelly, freshness could be improved a lot. Strange flavouring of beef that’s sour rather than savoury. Really average food compared to its drinks. 5/5 for service. Staffs are quite nice and lovely though. 4/5 for environment: nothing impressive but still clean and tidy enough. 4/5 for value: 10% service charge as discretionary. £29 for each person.

Popped in on spur of the moment Friday late lunchtime with a friend and so glad we did. Service was excellent, staff really friendly and helpful, the food was on point; worth going to for the sticky chicken alone £55 for 2 with drinks....... Worth every penny Well done Iberico, we will be back.

Very good food, lot of options for vegans and vegetarians.

Oh my god! What a fantastic find! The food is absolutely amazing, totally delicious and mouth watering. The venue is really cool and cosy and the staff were all fantastic. I can't recommend this place enough for a brilliant ad-hoc lunch spot!

5 years later and this restaurant is still a delightful place to eat, beautifully cooked and very tasty. A busy Saturday afternoon, we were well looked after. Big shout out to Aaliyah, Amy and Matt for their help and smiles. This is a lovely place which can be very busy. Food comes out when it's ready which is never a long time. Delicious and well presented. Always check the specials board. Pleasant and attentive staff, nothing was to much trouble.

Been here 3 times with friends and enjoyed it everytime. When you think of bustling but relaxed dinner atmospheres this place nails it on the head, and the tapas is to die for. Plus it's actually affordable. Only downside is it can get packed very quickly, best shout is to avoid dinner-rush if you want a table

You'd expect more from a "Michelin" listed restaurant...

Really busy, so had to wait for a table (you can’t book), but well worth it. Food was excellent, so were the staff. Highly recommended

Excellent food amazing tastes and good prices nice and friendly staff

Great food & variety of options. Walk inns only but suits the casual dining vibe. The atmosphere was fantastic and we went on a Tuesday at 6.30 for menu rapido! (A deal where you get 2x tapas mains and 1x nibble). I was going to take pictures of the food as it was beautifully presented but I had to fight my partner for it! Delicious!

We had been recommended this restaurant by so many people so decided to stop by today for some food. They have amazing reviews on here and TripAdvisor so I did have really high expectations - staff lived up to these and were really helpful and informative about the dining experience. It was advised you order everything at once and it comes when it's ready, it doesn't arrive like starter, main, dessert etc. I think I misunderstood this thinking it just all came at the same time and not in separate courses. It's quite difficult because unless you are sharing everything, one of you could have almost finished your food whilst the other is still waiting on dishes a long time after. The truffle mushrooms came out cold - I didn't complain as I thought this must be the way they come, but I've never ordered mushrooms that have come out completely cold before which was strange. Flavours were okay on this dish The cod skewers came out extremely fishy & soaked in what appeared to be water of some sort, which is odd as usually overly fishy cod is a sign that the cod isn't fresh, so again can't say this was good! The beef onglet was amazing, but at this point I had filled up on bread as I hadn't enjoyed any other dishes so I didn't have room to eat it All in all I am really sad, as from reviews I can see others had such a good experience, but sadly for us it wasn't worth it :(

Been there a few times we love the menu the food is always very good and would highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant, excellent food and really attentive and friendly service.

Food portions have reduced massively. Since first going to Bar Iberico in 2016 we have accepted inevitable change but the recent huge portion reduction is the end for us. It’s been a blast

Great food. Grateful that the waitress explained some of the menu.. Fortunately had enough time to Google the rest. Worth a trip. Will return.

The market fish was one of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted in my life. The deal they do before 6.45 is amazing, go with a few people and you can try a lot of the menu for a good price. Food was amazing, service was even more amazing and the food was to die for. This isn’t just a place I’d recommend it’s a place I’d rave about. Recommend to anyone and everyone

Didn't have the food, staff was amazing , great private area downstairs.

Booked a table for 10 but 2 couldn’t make it so we had 8 for lunch. Charged us an extra £40 for the two who couldn’t make it on top of the hundreds we spent with them. A pretty shoddy excuse for hospitality. “It’s our policy… blah blah blah”

This is Our 2nd visit here really good food hip and vibrant venue Id say it was a must try for anybody visiting Nottingham

Bar Iberico was amazing, food is gorgeous, service fantastic and a warm friendly atmosphere. Will be heading here again next time we are in Nottingham.

Lovely place and set up. Dissspointed with the food. I had expectations of good spanish tapas and it did not deliver. Def more need of fresh options and certainly after what was stodgy greasy albeit tasty dishes, fresh fruit as an option fior a pudding was dry required and sadly unavailable. Sorry. Not for me.

We enjoyed our food, but the highlight for us was the excellent service given to us by our server Jasmyna . She was lovely and gave excellent service. I was also impressed by the range of sherries and Spanish draught beers

Wonderful food, particularly the pork belly and onglet. Service was really friendly and relaxed. A wonderful restaurant

Went here twice , the first time food was exceptional , service abit slow , second time most of the food tasted dry ,so I guess it depends on who's cooking and how long the food was left out.

Delicious food and great service. We went for the lunchtime special; one grazing dish and 2 mains each which was a great deal. We added 2 extra dishes as we were hungry but in the end couldn't finish the food as dishes were fairly generous. Especially the crispy chicken. Very enjoyable meal!

Food was fantastic, very tasty and generous tapas portions. Service was lovely, made to feel very welcome and a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Ideally placed in the Lace Market area of Nottingham. Would highly recommend!

Really enjoy the dishes here. Always friendly and good service from the staff.

Very nice tapas restaurant in city center! I would personally recommend to not forget to try the jamon croquetas and flatbreads!

Fantastic food. Great staff. Great evening.

Good food, the baby squid was fairly chewy and some of the olives were a little under ripe, the brazed pork is incredibly good! Staff incredibly slow when wanting to pay.

Be prepared to queue but so very worth it. Epic amazing tapas. Lovely staff.

Nice atmosphere with attentive staff and a great selection of very tasty tapas. Have been twice now within 4 weeks and the menu was different each time. I can see us coming here often

Amazing food! Great atmosphere! Already planning my next trip x

5 star experience for me, the service was superb. The drinks were really great as well if you’re a sweet tooth I’d recommend trying the raspberry ripple cocktail. Food was really great as well, we had the Patatas Bravas, Crispy Chicken (which I highly recommend), Beef Onglet, Crispy Baby Squid & the Queso Fresco Flatbread. It’s a bit on the pricey end but it’s totally worth it. Will definitely be coming back!
