Barrafina in Camden

Suk our waiter was excellent. As it was our anniversary he gave us a complimentary glass of Cava and wished happy anniversary. The food was superb. The tempura monkfish and lemon sole was absolutely beautiful. We did not sit at the bar but choose to sit at one of the tables. Was not disappointed Suk was very professional and help with tasting of sherry and wine.

While entering, the waitress squeezed us at the counter and I thought, weird, considering there are so many seats at the window table. Dinner was standard, small plates overpriced. And then almost at the end of the evening my friend and I noticed 2 mice going in and out from holes under the window. I screamed, the personnel turned and looked at me but ignored my expression and one of them laughs probably being well aware of the hygienic problem! NEVER AGAIN

Had an impromptu visit last night and had a lovely time. Great buzzing atmosphere. We sat at the bar and our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was really good, the specials in particular were amazing. I’d say that it was a little bit pricey, especially when compared to other great tapas in the area. My only real piece of negative feedback is the cheese board - there was hardly any cheese, and bread, and then when the server brought it out (knowing there’s not enough bread - 1 piece!) he said would you like a bit more bread, which we then got charged £3 for. I saw this happen to others in there along with their disappointed faces. So my feedback is do something to improve the cheeseboard and make it comparable in quality to everything else you served.

Recommended by friend and what a delight. We sat up at the bar and both staff and food were excellent. The atmosphere was buzzy and did not feel rushed at all, all very relaxed. When visiting London again would definitely pay Barrafina another visit. Thank you!

The dishes were amazingly delicious as a 'chain' store. The price for food and wine are reasonable. My parents enjoyed every dishes that we ordered. The atmosphere of seeing the old side of London with the modern twist is a good experience.

5/10 overall Pan con tomate 6/10 Patatas bravas 2/10 Chorizo bun 5/10 Skate 7/10 Red prawns 3/10 Tortilla 7/10 Chicken 7/10 Service friendly and relaxed. Buzzing location. Way overpriced. £165 for two people.

Really tasty! I didn’t expect to be cooking my own food, but the experience was nonetheless enjoyable. Waiter seemed a bit fed up so I wouldn’t rate the service highly. But the food and setting was great.

Really good food. Visited on the lunchtime of friday 24th November. have been thinking about my Skate Wing all week. Best meal of our weekend in London. The lads next to us had lots of dishes and have to say every single one looked delicious, especially the John Dory and the steak. Our server, young woman with very short reddish/black hair and piercings, was excellent and very attentive. Guided us well. So glad we visited and can't wait to go again.

Just come back from Dining at Barrafina Coal drops yard. Unfortunately it did not reach the high expectations we had. Server didn’t seem too interested in us at all, when we asked questions, the response was a shake Of the head and no enthusiasm whatsoever which was a real let down. Food was fine, nothing to write home about which is a real shame as we were very much looking forward to the Barrafina experience. We were told you only served wine but then the server proceeded to bring us out a drinks list With many other Options. Service charge added already which we paid and in hindsight, regretted that, as service was very poor indeed. Would we return ? I'd like to say yes, but probably not. What a shame Food: 3/5 | Service: 1/5

First time visiting Coals Drop Yard to check out the new development. I booked into Barrafina and I was not disappointed (it was also my birthday weekender too!) Friendly staff greeted us at the door and it was so nice for her to put us in the middle of the counter so we can watch the cooking! Lovely cooked tapas with great flavours (squid and rice - yum!) and the the monkfish was delicious! Excellent wine to go with our meal too. Again, fantastic service from the waitress and staff. Great atmosphere and decor. Being a small person the bar stools were comfy and loads of room for bags/coats. They kindly gave me a yummy (large!) slice of cheese cake with a candle to celebrate! Super service and highly recommend. Will definitely go again!

Excellent experience, couldn’t fault it . Food was the exceptional. Visited 1pm on a Wednesday but was nicely busy with a good atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive I found despite being very busy. Definitely would return

Bad service and on verge of rude .Fish came undercooked and we asked for it to be cooked until opaque.Waitress was not pleased. Overpriced for a couple of tapas and not very pleasant staff. Won't be back.

An amazing meal (the specials change as they run out, so the menu is certainly not set in stone). Friendly staff, perfect potion size, great beer and just fascinating to sit at the bar and watch the kitchen in action. A definite return is on the cards...

Very expensive for what we had, small plates with big plate prices. Food came at odd times, soup came last. Food very very salty. The couple next to us asked for their service charge to be removed, it was but the staff were not very happy about it.

Service perfect outdoors amazing The grilling the seafood was the best I’ve had this place is a must do . The lobster on the grill made me cry I was so happy. The whole mackerel chopped up mmmmmmm. The prawns where real not farmed. The potatoe sliced up even on the grill yum .
