El Futuro Wine & Tapas Bar in Doncaster

Our 2nd visit. Took 2 friends who have more tapas experience than us. They were very impressed with the range and quality available. We think it is excellent.

We booked this place last minute as the food in our hotel was awful. We are so glad we did the food was so fresh and delicious! If you want good fresh food this is a great place to go. Thanks Mary

Food was fantastic, very filling. We have the stuffed pepper and bruschetta for starter, the bruschetta could of done with a little less filling on top but was very tasty. For mains we had the meatballs, tempura monkfish, pork loin, chicken wrapped in pancetta and croquettes. All very tasty and the staff were lovely. Very chatty and made you feel at ease and comfortable. Will definitely be back.

Love this place, one of Doncaster’s hidden gems. Lovely food, wine & service. Always something new to try. Don’t go enough.

Staying overnight at the Lakeside Travelodge and noticed El Futura close by and decided to try it out. Luckily they managed to take us and what a treat we had. A tapas menu from which we selected a variety of dishes monkfish, pork fillet, chicken, cheese and potatoes braves, everyone was a delight. The food was backed up with friendly, attentive staff - you could not ask for more, if this was closer to home we would be regular customers, definitely worth a trip.

Fantastic staff that go above and beyond with kindness and professionalism. Delicious food too !! Great setting.

We had to make a last-minute stopover at Doncaster Airport and stayed at the nearby Premier Inn. We like to support local, independent businesses so a quick Google helped us find this gem of a place. They fit us in at very short notice and we had a lovely table by the window overlooking the lake. The menu looked amazing and in the end we decided to go for the meat sharing platter with cheese added on as an extra. Oh boy, when they brought the platter out we thought they'd made it for 4 - it was huge! If we'd have been going home they'd have given us a pack-up of what we didn't eat. We really did try our best but it beat us in the end! The olives were absolutely huge too and the wine selection was good. All the staff are lovely, the food is top quality and it was busy which gave it a nice buzzing atmosphere. A great find.

Absolutely excellent are the only 2 words to describe the food, served hot and fresh. Ingredients are obviously quality and that shows in the taste, presentation good, staff attentive. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Really makes a lovely change for us. Lovely setting overlooking the lake. Food is excellent, staff are so friendly and helpful. Tried a craft beer made from seawater...thats a first, would have had a second but was driving. Can recommend and will certainly be going again.

Absolutely outstanding experience today. Food was absolutely gorgeous could not fault anything. Service was lovely and friendly It was efficient but not forced or intrusive It’s the best tapas I’ve had in the uk and Tapas is an absolute favourite of mine The dishes were so elegantly presented and cooked to perfection We had baby squid King prawns bruschetta Black pudding and ham croquettes Crusted lamb chops Belly of pork bites Gambas pil pil Potato bravado Everything was just perfect. The brownie was delicious as were the churros Enough for 4 people to leave stuffed with 2 bottles of wine 2 bottles of cider 2 draught beers and two cokes Total bill £150 Extremely good value and worth every penny

Decided to try this restaurant having heard from friends how good it was and I’m very pleased to say we were not disappointed. The setting is great looking out over the lakeside making you believe that you are anywhere other than Doncaster and the welcome from the staff is just as good. The quality and variety of the food and drink is great and nothing is too much trouble. One extra piece of praise goes to the young lady who was acting deputy manager who on hearing that we had asked for a glass of ice to help chill our second bottle of rose came across and apologised for the error and offered to replace the half drunk bottle with a new one. This is something very rarely experienced even in more exclusive and “posher” restaurants, well done and I’m sorry that we have forgotten your name. Safe to say we will be back to enjoy your terrace during the summer and we look forward to enjoying all you have to offer. Thanks again

What’s do you do on a Wednesday evening catch up with your bestie and not sure where to go? El Futuro. Recommended by friend. Wait staff very friendly and efficient. Never had tapas before and i have problems with some ingredients however the wait staff went through he menu to point out the dishes not suitable. The food was fab, delicious and hot, as in temperature. As we had a window table and the sun was out it felt like we were on holiday, looking out over the lake. Definitely recommending to friends and family

Had a fantastic family meal. The quality and cooking of the food was first class, as was the service. Great selection of dishes - something for every palate - and between the 9 of us we tried most things on the menu. Everything was delicious - favourites were the belly pork and the chicken ballantine. Waiting staff were helpful and attentive. A 5 star experience.

Altough one lady was very polite and helped us with the menu the other waiters were very slow..one male waitor was walking around eating and drinking Pepsi this felt unprofessional another decided to use fabulosa to clear the table at the side of us while we were eating appreciate they need to clean up but this spray was very strong we could taste it! The restaurant was dead another 1 family eating yet took ages to get our drinks..food was okay decent portions dessert was very nice

This is my favourite restaurant, everyone is very welcoming and can’t do enough. Perfect setting, looking over the lake. The food is top quality, you get what you pay for!

This was our second time at El Futuro and it did not disappoint! The food is incredibly tasty and full of flavour, you can tell everything is made passion. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back again! The restaurants sits...

Where to begin?! I’m a sucker for tapas and sadly Spain is just too far away, but with stunning views of the lake and great tasting wine I was happy to compromise. As always, my eyes were much bigger than my belly and I felt...

Been there few Times. Amazing food , nice view and love the decor. My favourite is patata brava and my boyfriend likes the octopus 😍

Been tonight for our Christmas night out with friends, food freshly prepared, out of this world, staff friendly, professional and nothing too much trouble. Service was fantastic. Very impressed, you are all doing a brilliant job, loved it, would recommend to everyone, five star!!!!!!!

For some reason, the waiter chose to ignore me and serve other table that arrived after me. Thee food was ok

Met friends for lunch. Dogs welcome in the bar area. We had a lovely relaxed lunch with no hassle to hurry. Make sure you register your car number plate or you are limited to 3 hours parking. We had good advice from our waitress re...

Never fails to provide the best tapas around .. this restaurant has it all .. good friendly staff .. amazing surroundings n decor .. and exceptional food .. a must try .. think we’ve tried most things in the menu lol

Great tapas, super-friendly service and a lake view if you sit outside. What's not to love? Right next door to the Travelodge Lakeside, so the perfect place for dinner.

I went here today with my son and we had an absolute feast....every part of it was cooked to perfection, obviously fresh ingredients, lovely and hot...just absolutely delightful!!...The restaurant itself is fresh and chic(even a balcony area which faces the lake which is so picturesque)and...

A lovely find near the lakeside centre in Doncaster for tapas and drinks overlooking the lake. Great Sharing board with charcuterie to start. It is enough on its own really. We also had the meatballs, prawns, patatas bravas and croquettes tapas dishes. All was very...

Has a first class tapas meal last night. The waitress was super and food/wine first class and reminded me of warm nights in old Spanish towns, sadly the weather in Doncaster ain’t the same but that’s no surprise

It’s not always easy to find great places to eat that cater for both gluten free and vegans without feeling like it’s an after thought. El Futuro delivered variety and excellent quality. The staff were super friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us. What a...

Amazing service! Great food! The tapas was excellent and it’s such a nice restaurant, it’s much bigger inside than it looks but still with great views of the lake.

Amazing food, location and staff. Can’t fault this place at all and just how busy it is shows how good the whole experience is. Best tapas around

Food was amazing! Really enjoyed our lunch. Great views. Staff and service was excellent. Had gluten free options which were clearly labelled as I am a Coeliac. Can’t wait to go again and try more dishes.

It was my first visit today and definitely won’t be my last! The lovely staff are attentive but warm and friendly. The food is fabulous! We shared tapas and was spoilt for choice. Thoroughly enjoyed the sangria too. Can’t wait for a return visit to...

We visited as a group on Saturday night, didn't notice how long it took for the food to come out however did not feel very long. We ordered paella and 9 different tapas dishes and all were amazing, we really enjoyed the food! The staff...

One of the best if not the best tapas restaurant I’ve ever been to. The staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you and the food is amazing! Will definitely be visiting again 😍😍

Food was really tasty, we thought service was good too. The reason for the poor review is a parking fine! Despite checking in, luckily having the receipt as proof. After contacting the restaurant we were assured it was being dealt with we still had to...

We tried El Futuro on Friday night for the first time. Nice location, good atmosphere, excellent service and enjoyable tasty food. Nearly awarded it a 5 mark. Perhaps we are out of practice with going out but the Restaurant seemed incredibly noisy. Also we did...

Had a fabulous meal here on Sat afternoon. Had table booked & let them know one of our party needed gluten free food. When we arrived the waiter immediately checked who wanted gluten-free and went through the options. Had a mixture of tapas (chorizo, meatballs,...

Our first visit. What a lovely setting! The glass fronted large room overlooking the large lake was impressive. The service was not! Perhaps we were unlucky to choose a Satuday evening. Arrived right on booked time, had to wait 15 mins for our table to...

From start to finish it was fantastic. Staff were lovely and so helpful when ordering. We had to split into two tables to be covid compliant but other than that could forget about covid for a couple of hours. Sharing starter platter was massive. Well...

Myself and my partner came here for lunch today. We had originally planned on having some food delivered and eating in the garden. But I'm so glad we didn't! The service was very professional and friendly and the food was amazing! Being a pescatarian I...

Chloe was a dream Olives were dreamier Company was dreamiest Fab time all around, would definitely recommend

You could almost forget you are in Doncaster, with the lake view and sunset it has a feel of holidays and that’s without the mention of the food. The food is delicious, plentiful and fresh. Just delicious. I would even say the best Tapas in...

What can I say! This is the 2nd time my wife and I have visited this fantastic restaurant. From phoning to book (and change the time), the staff cannot do enough for you. Once at the restaurant you are made to feel welcome and part...

After hearing good things we decided to try this after a year of not going out. I wish we really hadn't bothered as the service and timings were terrible. We waited for an hour for the waitress to even take our order for food with...

Tasty food, great for meat and fish lovers. Tasty sauces and well cooked and seasoned meat. It’s a bit punchy on price given the need for 3 mains per male adult for a normal appetite unless you’re someone that likes to eat bread. I don’t-...
