El Iberico in Bexley

Outstanding food, fantastic service, really loved it here, wish we'd visited sooner! Definitely be back.

The management, staff and food here are all amazing. Loved it so much we ordered a takeaway a few days later. The paella is huge and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Have been coming here for years wouldnt go anywhere else best restaurant in Sidcup!!

Amazing tapas. Such a great night. Felt like we were on holiday.

Lovely food and friendly staff in a typical Spanish atmosphere.. will come again.

Great staff great food really enjoyed

The best Spanish I will highly recommend, you have to book in advance as this place is always fully booked and busy due to the high demand. Goes without saying the food is outstanding! Enjoy

Service is 5 star great atmosphere food is 10 star all day long you got to try it

My favourite restaurant and my go to. Never had a bad meal in 10+ times of coming. The best croquettes I’ve had and that includes abroad. Love this place

Absolutely fantastic restaurant for all the family. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We have started to become regulars and they remember the wine we like. The food is delicious and authentic. It has a very warm cosy feel to it. Not trying to be too trendy or anything just a lovely old school restaurant. Our highlights are the ham croquettes, calamari and the white beans. Next visit we are trying the paella as it looked great on the other tables.

First time visiting, food exceptional, great selection and really helped us as we had a 6week old baby with us! Highly recommend

Excellent quality tapas, though the range could perhaps be expanded, with really good, locally-brewed 'Spanish' beer and great people. Definitely worth trying.

Delicious with great, kind service. A fantastic family run place with bang up food. Highlight of the oval!

Very nice food and great service!

Beautiful food fantastic staff what more can you ask for highly recommend

Such a nice restaurant, great food, great service

We have been coming here to this restaurant for over twenty years now and like a fine wine it just gets better and better with age! Like an idiot I had forgotten to book the table but thankfully they managed to squeeze us in. The food is next level and just the whole atmosphere, ambiance and care the staff and owners give you makes you like the whole restaurant is just one big family gathering. Honestly you will not find a better restaurant in Kent for that type of experience. See you again very soon!

An excellent evening, superb food, atmosphere was just perfect.

Great food, great service, great company! What more could you ask for!

Been several times and also great authentic quality, fantastic variation and good value

Delicious food and superb service. We left grinning from ear to ear

Had a lovely meal here with friends. Ordered 3 dishes each to share and each one was delicious. Asked for advice on what to order from waiter who was extremely helpful. Second time here and second lovely meal. Wine good and a reasonable price. Would definitely recomend

I have been going here for 12 years and it is by far the best restaurant in the area we have tried a few others but always come back to el bericos at least once a month because if you want the best food (especially the fillet steak), a great family atmosphere and friendly service this is the one for you

We all loved it! Our youngest was 8, our oldest was 80. All loved our meal, and great service x

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is incredible, and the food is absolutely BANGING. I not only recommend it but urge you to go and try it. As a European living in London, I can confidently say it’s a must-visit! - This has been one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Delicious food, homely and friendly family-run business

What a fabulous night tonight new years Eve 2024. The kitchen was under pressure but delivered marvellously We had several starters. & steak for main course. Sea bass too. All fantastic perfectly cooked Well done Ivo and Team. Thks for a great night. Lynn & Alan

Our favourite tapas! Me & my family have been coming here for 8 years. We always have the best experience! The food is the best authentic tapas, sangria is 10/10, and the staff as so friendly & accommodating. Service is always incredible! We always leave very happy and full! Couldn’t recommend enough!!

Good range of Spanish food. Can do tapas or full meal. Service good. Bit noisy at weekends

Back again for a delicious evening meal. Finally tried the lager Tower. Which is 6 pints for the price of 5! Delightful local restaurant which has been established for many years. Seving traditional tapas plus theres a mains menu to choose from. Foods fresh, homemade and delicious. I personally recommend the lamb cutlets, potato bravas and meatballs! Good dry white wine and draught larger. All reasonably priced. Only criticism is the food came up extremely quickly, within 5 mins. next time I would delay ordering to enjoy the evening out a little more. Staff friendly, attentive and professional. Restaurant was very busy. Definitely recommend booking Air conditioned restaurant.

First time here.. Faultless. Also the first time I think I've ever said that at a new location and new meal. Lovely Xmas feel to the place.

Amazing food and service. Had the tapas and ordered 6 dishes between us. Went on a Tuesday and it was surprisingly busy. Finished off with an amazing cocktail. Been meaning to try this restaurant out in ages and it didn’t disappoint

Went to El Iberico for me and my friends birthday, the staff were so lovely and really made the evening special for us celebrating! The food was amazing we got lots of little tapas dishes between the five of us and it was a great selection and very tasty! The service was fab and I’d recommend the restaurant to others :)

Excellent service, large portions and excellent local atmosphere, super cozy and clean and recommended for everyone

Amazing food and excellent service! Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time here, everyone loved the food! They offer such a variety and everything was delicious! Save room for desert! Their own beer was yummy as well!

Really lovely food and service. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back 🙂

We were very well received by Ivo and his team. The food was very tasty and well served, with well presented dishes and fresh ingredients that showed care in their preparation. The atmosphere was relaxing, ideal for a quiet and enjoyable meal. The service was attentive and agile, making the experience even better. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back! João, Bruno and Susana

Authentic Spanish cuisine, family run with good service

First complete 5 star experience!! Well done indeed El Iberico!...Fantastic steak cooked perfectly....for steaks this place is better than Hawksmoor!...On par with Goodmans!...If you like a steak I sincerely recommend. Rest of the menu amazing as well....but equally as impressive and important was the hospitality atmosphere...The staff were so tuned in on delivering a very friendly and welcoming experience, always smiling and happy...the client comes first here...the owner was particularly attentive and visible accountable for everything...Best loos I have visited at a restaurant 😊..I had a very interesting and new for me Bocko pint which went down v well...And the rest of my party said the wine served was exquisite....If you want a best dining experience this is definitely the place..

The restaurant was busy for a Tuesday but we were comfortably seated and had our order taken quickly. We decided to just go for the Tapas and ordered 5 dishes. The food arrived fairly fast and was served hot, just the way we like it. We ordered mushrooms, calamari, Spanish omelette, prawns and potatoes with chorizo and a bottle of wine. Everything was just right. An excellent meal and the staff were great. We will be coming again. Thanks

Had a great night here catching up with an old friend. Atmosphere was great and food superb. Started with some tapas and then had the fillet steak… it was so good!

Absolutely amazing food. Service was great and the atmosphere outstanding. Best local restaurant around.

First visit here and won't be the last, attentive staff, great service and really good food with plenty of choices. The tapas was superb as was the sangria

Loved it, great food. Authentic atmosphere

Great food and attentive service would definitely recommend

Very authentic food and atmosphere. Lovely staff and service. Will definitely be back. Good for couples, groups and families.

Great food and very friendly service

Lovely local place. Friendly and prompt service. Nice food and affordably priced. Will be back.

A lovely friendly atmosphere for genuine Spanish food meals and Tapas.

Great food and atmosphere, recommend a visit. Had a lovely birthday dinner 😀

Second time back again really enjoyed it great food working my way through the menu.

Such a lovely local restaurant lovely staff and food

Staff very friendly and lovely service was excellent and good superb Thank you

Have amened review to reply to owners rude review as £31.90 for a jug of sangria is not cheap and I find that extremely patronising. We asked you to taste it numerous times as barely any alcohol in it and if it was not true why did you have to top it up - not with champagne either but prosecco? And no we did not get any Padron peppers, we thought it was replacement as we told waiter it did not come and some other dish came out and we got charged twice. Learn to read the reviews, we said the other staff were friendly but it was true a couple of the lads were inexperienced but still very pleasant, you should take a leaf out of their book. Looking at all the reviews we decided to book as fancied some nice tapas but to be honest it was average at best. It’s a lovely little restaurant itself and most staff are friendly (couple of young inexperienced lads more on that later) and we ordered selection of tapas, cocktails and champagne sangria. Didn’t taste any alcohol so politely explained this to the head waiter and he said they topped it up. Initially they said they literally poured whole bottle in but when we said was still tasting just of fruit they changed line to: we only put little in do you expect a whole bottle of champagne! We asked them to taste themselves and let us know but was not getting anywhere, it’s not cheap at £31.90 and was border line rude as we were very polite about it. Then to top things off we ordered padron peppers that didn’t come and we told one of the young lads who said was not on order and out came some breaded jalapeño so we thought were replacement as ran out and got home and saw they had charged us for both so basically ended up paying £11.90 extras for nothing. Our fault for not double checking 😒

Sadly our experience did not reflect that of many other diners. Frankly I haven’t got the energy to write a full review on what was wrong because it will not be acknowledged by the management. Just know that we will not be back. I wished we had dined two doors down at Hayat instead. In reply to the owners response... You should respect your paying customers. You can't take criticism constructively and you have proved me right. You're not even bothered to find out why I wasn't happy with my dining experience, but you're happy to take your customers money and you're calling me rude?!

Lovely evening. Food lovely great service. Staff so helpful & friendly. Looking forward to another visit

The best restaurant in the Sidcup area! Great Tapas, lovely staff and a fantastic atmosphere.

First time at el Iberico and will most definitely be returning. Food and service was lovely, cocktails were amazing!

Visited on a Thursday was surprised to see it was fairly busy. Great food great service and reasonably price. Get the patatas bravas and thank me later. Will be visiting again

The service was amazing. When we wanted to order, apart from our main dishes, we asked for them to suggest tapas, and they could bring loads, but they didn't overwhelmed us.It was a special occasion and we had a good time. Definitely I will suggest it but make sure to book your table early. We did a week before.

Delicious food and excellent service as always. This is our favourite restaurant. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely restaurant and food, staff so welcoming!

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. As for the food, the tapas were nothing short of extraordinary - each dish bursting with authentic flavours and beautifully presented. Easily the best tapas I’ve ever had! A must visit for anyone craving top tier cuisine in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

They gave us sweets at the end !!!

Visited here as it was highly rated but I cannot comprehend why it is. The food, while edible, was basically just frozen food you could have cooked better at home and there was nothing 'authentic' about it. The service was fine but the food was just down right poor and over priced for what it was. Overall, very disappointing.

We were disappointed. They offer an extensive tapas menu which we were really excited about. However the food all felt like it had come out of a freezer and the sauces from a jar. It didn't feel like the authentic Spanish tapas experience that we were expecting after reading such promising reviews

Food was amazing as always! Great service and atmosphere

Came for dinner with the family, great atmosphere, fantastic food, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

First visit for me and it certainly will not be the last!

Food amazing, service amazing, atmosphere amazing! We’ve been looking for a decent tapas bar in Sidcup and I think we found it! Well done guys and look forward to coming back!

One of our favourite places. Great friendly service and lovely food.

Had a very pleasant Sunday afternoon at El Iberico, food was excellent and so were the staff

Lovely restaurant, lovely food and absolutely amazing owners 😍 would 100% recommend

Kid friendly and family feel to the place. I have a fussy child and they were so accommodating! Food is amazing!

The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors, and every dish was cooked to perfection. What impressed us even more was how quickly the food arrived at our table, ensuring we didn't have to wait long to enjoy our meal. The sangria was also a highlight—refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the ideal complement to our meal. The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch that made us feel right at home. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of Spain with great service and a welcoming vibe.

Lovely restaurant - highly recommend

An authentic Spanish vibe, food - fantastic, service - fabulous and atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming.
