El Molino in Bromley

Food, service and atmosphere were excellent 😊 waitress very sociable and respectful.. We will be back soon!

Enjoyed a wonderful date with my wife, splendid food and service/atmosphere. Highly recommended

Absolutely love this restaurant, food, service and atmosphere are amazing

Love El Molino and visit frequently. The only negative is that every time I visit I literally want to order everything on the menu! Delicious food, great service and very reasonably priced. Just do yourself a favour and go there.

George the head chef is amazing . We went there the first day today and we will deffinitely be back ! Keep.up the good work guys

finally found my Spanish restaurant.....this evening I had a splendid dinner, everything was perfect, I couldn't have had better food, excellent impeccable service....thank you chef and manager

Food was terrible and bland. Prawns had no taste, potatoes were under cooked, lamb was raw and was sent back and they re fired and burnt and dry on return. Forgot the desert then lied about it. Arrogant male staff. The most over rated Spanish food ever. It’s like ready meals from Tesco.

It was our first visit and it did not disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfection and served with a smile. Excellent food and exceptional service . The best tapas outside of Spain. What a hidden gem.

The worst Spanish food and service. First of all the food arrived in a few minutes (5 dishes) like it was pre cooked and it tastes like it. Prawns bland, potatoes half under cooked, rice with chicken and fish super dry! But still I kept it. Lamb comes (4 cutlets) 1 raw. I noticed after I cut and ate a piece so I sent that back. That Lamb cutlet was now re fired and came back burnt and dry. No one asked if everything was good either. We decided we had enough but my kids still wanted dessert so we asked for churros to come with the bill. 15 mins and no churros and no bill. So when we asked to just give us the bill so we can pay now we advised them the churros was not on the bill and we are still waiting. No sorry ONCE just defensive man who could not take any feedback. Before we even got there we called 3 hours before as it said to pre order the paella but was told they need more than a day notice! To cook a dish that can be done in 30 minutes? No mention that you need that much notice for a dish. I had high hopes for this place but it was seriously the worst Spanish food I have eaten. The waitress were friendly but the guy who came across as if was in charge was terrible and I will not be returning to this place and I recommend you don’t either. It’s not Spanish food!

walked in at 2pm for lunch. food came out quick and was lovely. squid melted in my mouth! some of the best tapas i’ve had, tasted very authentic (just got back from barcelona) . only fault would be the pork cheek lacked flavour. nevertheless the best restaurant in beckenham!

Great vibes Great food Great service ✨💕✨💯💯

Wow that is fantastic food, highly quality and tasteful. Please come and enjoy the Spanish meal

The family and I have been going to El Molino just short of twenty years. As always, the food is outstanding. We are particularly fond of the ham croquettes, garlic mushroom, red wine chorizo, and chilli prawns. The service and atmosphere are fabulous.

Had some tapas. Generally quite nice but overloaded with paprika which I hadn't noticed on previous visits

Amazing food ! Many différents flavors ! Staff really friendly..! Really recommend it ! Best restaurant in beckenham so far !!

Fantastic Spanish tapas. The food was delicious - modern, fresh, and healthy. Particular standout was the aubergine. Has nice outdoor seating too, which is great and much appreciated.

Disappointing. After coming over for over 3 years, portions are tiny, and simple dishes like gammas ajillo are now over complicated with synthetic flavours. Patatas bravas, teeny portion. I’m SO sad to say I won’t be coming back any time soon

By far the best Spanish Tapas Bar in Beckenham - well worth going down Beckenham Road from Beckenham High Street - just beyond the Spa for a really good tapas. It is the second time we have eaten at El Molina - the first time on a really busy Friday night, and today on a sultry Sunday late afternoon. The food has been consistently fresh and well prepared. We could have been in Spain eating the Boqurones. The Churros tasted as if they had just been fried. Nice size portions to share and a good variety. A warm and relaxed atmosphere - and service quietly efficient. Just what we wanted in mid-August while still in London!

Been many times to this restaurant. There are only few restaurants in Beckenham worth visiting. This is right up there with the best in Beckenham. Really great tapas served by really great staff. Priced reasonably so means you eat there often rather than a special occasion. So you get a special visit every time. Keep it up. Best in Beckenham.

This is my favourite restaurant! The food, the staff and the atmosphere are all wonderful! I highly recommend this place!

Had such a nice dinner sitting outside. Alex served us and she was fabulous - so friendly, really knowledgeable and extremely efficient. The food was sensational, as was the Albariño! It was all very reasonable too. So lucky to have such a high quality restaurant locally

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in London! The variety and quality of the tapas are so impressive. We went as a large group and the staff took great care of us. Very reasonable prices for the quality of food and service. Can’t wait to be back!

Good wine, great food, lovely atmosphere. Would definitely reccomend!

Fantastic food and brilliant atmosphere, highly recommended.

Loved by the locals. Nice service, sangria to die for.

Absolutely love El Molino! I visit quite often and the food is consistently superb - every dish just wonderful and very good value. The olives are the best ever. The staff are all so friendly and fun and the setting (with both indoor and al fresco seating) is lively and handsome too. So lucky to have this restaurant in Beckenham - it’s a gem!

The best Spanish tapas Iv had in a very long time! The food, the service the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be returning as well as recommending to family and friends.

This is such a fabulous space and the food is divine. There's a great selection for vegetarians, which for a Tapas place is always a bonus. We sat outside which is a little noisy but so pleasant on a summer evening. The inside restaurant is brilliant and warm and friendly. The staff are efficient and food arrives in timely manner. The best thing really is the quality of the food though it's outstanding and in many ways too

food was good but you need to book as it was busy

Nice tapas, menu is small enough to ensure each item is good quality. Nice wine selection and friendly staff. I have always enjoyed eating here.

Been here twice now and both times were great! The Caipirinha cocktail was fantastic. Favourite dishes: Prawns (get some bread to soak up the lovely garlic and chilli oil they come in), aubergine with honey and goats cheeze, the chorizo a la plancha. 👌 Really enjoyed the crema catalana too and was pleased to find the churros were more like the traditional way with a darker richer chocolate instead of a sweet chocolate sauce like you get in most places.

Absolutely amazing food! Loved it

Excellent Tapas, excellent value for money, food was to die for and would highly recommend! We’ll be back! Very good service also

The food here is very good! We enjoyed everything that we ordered and even asked for seconds on some of the dishes. I highly recommend the Pan con Aceite and Jamón Ibérico for starters. Also, the white sangria pitcher was just perfect and I would very much recommend it. I felt I was transported to Spain through the food, it was that good. Kudos to the chefs! Service was good as well, the only thing of note is for the Paella it is on “pre-order”, which I have never seen before at a restaurant. You have to actually notify them in advance if you want the paella which was a bit disappointing. However we ordered a few different dishes to share which tasted great, so it didn’t detract from the experience. The Alcachofas salteadas (artichoke hearts) are a must - very delicious! All in all, a great Spanish tapas spot you have to visit in Beckenham!

Lovely food, the best Spanish tapas I’ve had in a while as normally you can only get the best in Spain. The portion sizes are perfect as not too filling since it’s tapas. We ordered a chicken paella and the taste was lovely with all the veg and peppers. The service was amazing, they were very timely with the tapas and I liked the fact they didn’t bring them all out at once. The staff were so friendly and have a chat with you whilst you’re there. Deserts were so tasty, definitely recommend the churros. Will be back again!

Was really busy on an early Friday evening but they managed to find us a table for 2 had a fantastic selection of tapas, would highly recommend will be visiting it again when next staying nearby in London

Cannot fault, everything was superb! Definitely coming back for more

We always visit El Molino it is generally nice. However I fell like there is a sense of Uah fact missing. It could be easily improved. No music at the background. The place was not warm enough. Dish very good presentation but It could be a little more gourmet. The squid was very dry. Churros was not like the last time. Just a little bit more to reach the best. I missed the time when in past we used to be served a little liquor at the end of the meal. The concerning about how my experience there, was important for the business.

This place is a local gem. Always hits the mark! There were a few changes to the manu this time and they were just as good. The aubergine with Feta and honey.. wow! And the pork cheek just melts!! I'll be back again and again and again.... and again (if you weren't sure)

I had a lovely meal with some friends it was over a lovely friendly place.

Really enjoyed our tapas at El Molino. Friendly service and great atmosphere. Good wine not too expensive. Loved the aubergine with goats cheese dish. All food fresh tasty and nicely cooked. Would visit again.

Delicious, hot tapas, beautiful decor and really friendly staff - been meaning to try for ages and gutted we didn’t try sooner

Great little local. Tapas ticks all the boxes and the wine selection is particularly good.

Best Spanish restaurant in the area.

Great place , tasty food. Shame waitress wasn't as friendly as she could have been with bit more effort and smile.

Best Spanish cuisine in South London, staff friendly, fun atmosphere and reasonably priced!

Never fails to deliver! Lovely restaurant with great food. Food is always delicious, our favourite dish is the aubergine with goats cheese! Can get very busy but the waitresses try their best, food comes out quick and great service. Cocktails are also great! Would highly recommend

One of the best Spanish food I have had in a while - properly authentic cuisine. Great service and atmosphere too. Would definitely go back.

Food is fantastic and it’s why I will come back but the male manager attitude was very blunt and uncomfortable…. Not for the first time.

Had a fabulous evening for my daughters birthday , staff were fantastic , amazing atmosphere and packed which I wouldn’t have expected for a Monday eve , food was delish and mocktails hit the spot ! Loved it , will definitely be returning.

Excellent food. Felt it was a little overpriced. Dishes arrived very quickly except the meat dishes, which came a few minutes after the veggies. Tapas sized portions, so you need to order 3 or 4 plates each to make a satisfying meal.

Really great place to test a Really authentic Spanish food in South London.

Great place to go grab a bite to eat. Lovely staff, not much else to say about this place. Not the most lively atmosphere ever but definitely decent food and a nice spot if you're nearby. I'd recommend it. Don't know of any other Spanish restaurants nearby either so if that's what you're after then this is the place for you!

I come to el Molino frequently and was really disappointed last night I have to say. A waitress took our drink orders and then took our food order and in a good time and we were looking forward to it as the food is always so nice. However as the food started to come out, we felt immediately rushed. As soon as we finished every dish, someone would come round and swiftly grab the plates off the table. I get that the kitchen try to clean as they go but I just felt so rushed whilst eating. It got to a point where a waitress came over whilst my boyfriend was still eating and a waitress grabbed the plates, and then took the napkin out of his hand 😂😂 I started laughing because I’ve never seen someone do this, what if he still wanted to use the napkin? 😂it was really bizarre. Then we ordered dessert, again feeling rushed and after finishing, a waitress came over and said hi, can I please ask u to move and sit down by the bar as there’s a woman on crutches here. I was quite confused as I booked my table a month in advance and we still were drinking our drinks and hadn’t paid yet, so wasn’t sure why we were being asked to move, the restaurant had obviously double booked maybe? But every other table was full so if just felt like we were being picked on tbh, especially as we had been so rushed all night. I obviously moved because I felt bad for a woman on crutches but surely the restaurant should have worked this out before? We were only on the table for an hour and a half so I don’t get why we had to move and give up our table. We then had to pay at the bar which I just didn’t really appreciate. Really disappointed and was going to come here in a few months for a special occasion but don’t think I will be

Ok food very small potions for the price well overpriced £4 small beer Got 4 small prawns in the pil pil £9.50 i could go on honestly way to expensive for what it is I won't be returning.

A great night with friends at El Molino. Food and service were excellent, we will be back!

Enjoyed a great selection of tapas with wine. The service was courteous and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and was timed well to avoid overloading the table. Would highly recommend.

From the moment we walked in the reception was cold. Like we should not of been there. Food was below par, nothing special. Arrived quickly. Lacked authentic taste. Quick easy Spanish food. Better restaurants in the area.

Truly delicious food, vibrant atmosphere with attentive service. Neighbourhood gem.

Great place, tapas was delicious, will come back for another lunch.

Superb food and service. Our favourite restaurant.

Fantastic restaurant with excellent service and food . We will be back for sure .

I can't believe we haven't visited this place sooner, the food was amazing, lovely restaurant walking distance from us. We will be back!

Nice and friendly but rushed service, timing was terrible. Food arrived quickly, but we waited quite a while for the meat, the main part of the meal It was very expensive for what it is, we weren’t allowed a pint of the draught beer which is part of the rip off. We were forced to sit at a table we didn’t want, although there were empty tables available? Meal was “ok”, but the squid was awful. I won’t go back! 😡

Been here probably 7-8 times since living locally and always very good food, service, and atmosphere.

Perhaps a tad pricey, but the food is good and service excellent. Very popular, so always busy and bustling. You have to book. Closing times vary, so check when you book.

I always enjoy visiting this restaurant not just because of the cuisine, but also because of the hospitality.

This is one of the best Spanish restaurants in London. The menu covers several Spanish regions, so you can enjoy a wide tasting. I felt at home 🥰 👍👍👍 I will be back!

the atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing, the food is so good and would definitely recommend

One of our favourite restaurants in local area. Food, drinks and service are excellent. It isn't the cheapest, but is worth the money for the high quality food. Genuinely, some of the best tapas I have eaten outside of Spain 🇪🇸

Fantastic food, service and ambience.

An absolute gem in London! The food here is a taste of Spain—authentic and mouthwatering. You can truly sense the care put into sourcing top-notch ingredients. The friendly staff made our experience memorable, welcoming us warmly. We were reminded of holiday vibes with its authentic decor, instantly transporting us back to Spain. The outdoor area at the back is a delightful surprise, resembling a cozy backyard where you can enjoy your meal. Can't wait to revisit in the summer and savor their delicious dishes amidst that charming outdoor setting! Definitely one of the best authentic meals we've had in London ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hands down the best tapas in London... Great for a date!

Amazing variety of tapas. My son said it was better than in Barcelona. We’re going for Christmas Day.

This restaurant will transport you to Spain with their brilliant tapas ! The atmosphere and the choice of the cocktails are great such as the menu .The customer service is excellent! It was a fantastic experience that I haven't had for a long time for eating out and something that I will remember for some times ! Highly recommended it !

Perfect food, especially as a vegetarian there was still plenty of choices that were delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back again 🥰 thank you for the great service and very warm atmosphere

Was a very cozy dark restaurant with a good service. I’m not really to much into Spanish tapas food and personally I can’t see what the big deal is but obviously each to there own the food was just average by my standards would I go back I would but not in a rush plus for me the tables was to close together on top of one and other I’d give this one place 7/10

Fantastic tapas place. Great food and service. Prawns were my favourite! Highly recommend and will be back soon.

Came here for lunch with our baby, staff were friendly and attentive and the food was really delicious.

Incredible food, sensational service, and a great atmosphere. Anchovies were a fave... but then so was everything else we had!

Very good service great food and a good atmosphere 👌

Great little restaurant. Amazing food, freindly staff. Great atmosphere. Loved it. Highly recommend

Very nice food and friendly service.

Came here for my dad’s birthday after driving past this restaurant for years and never visiting before. We were all very excited as the restaurant is always busy, so we took that as a sign that this was a good place to eat. On arrival, we found the ambience and decor was very warm and lovely. Sadly, the service and food did not match this. Our waitresses were somewhat blunt and unfriendly - no smiles, nothing in terms of attentiveness or asking how our food was, no thanks at all despite tipping etc. We found the food was very overpriced for what it was - we have dined in many other tapas bars in both London and across Spain, and this was definitely on the pricier side. For £9.95, we would expected more than 4 small prawns as gambas al ajillo, which were chewy and were not unshelled properly. Apart from the grilled chorizo & patatas bravas, the other dishes were pretty underwhelming for the price. In the end, we paid about £100 for a meal where we all left hungry and very disappointed. I feel sad to give a negative review for a local business, but unfortunately, this was our honest experience.

Local Spanish tapas restaurant with a lively atmosphere and vibe. They have very interesting specialty cocktails, some completely unique, some gives a twist to the classics. Food was the highlight. Rustic dishes, nothing flashy or over the top in presentation, but flavours were excellent. Garlic prawns were our favourite of the night. Meatballs were also delicious, tender and slightly pink in the middle, and perfectly seasoned. Padron Peppers were always good, and refreshingly light. The only slight disappointment was the octopus. Now, it was still very good and delicious, but it was just slightly overcooked.

My partner and I went here for the first time at the weekend for our 10 year anniversary. Service was good and the food seemed nice, but unfortunately less than 12 hours after leaving we both got food poisoning. So disappointing.

Great atmosphere, good food, friendly staff. A local gem

Cosy tapas place for grown up diners.

Great staff and venue, shame the food was average

Love this place, the food and the stuff are amazing. Busy noisy and full of atmosphere. One of my favorite local places to eat. The owner is always around and always remembers you a great personal touch. Will be going back again soon.

The garlic in the garlic mushrooms had no flavour whatsoever.

Good value, good food, lovely little outdoors area at the back

Cannot put what the atmosphere was like because it was early in the evening but I have been there before and atmosphere is buzzing waitress was excellent and always looking to make sure we was OK. Sitting outside the front

The best restaurant in the area. Delicious food, very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Our favourite place to go!

I've been to my fair share of tapas restaurants, but this one is one of the best. They have a wide variety of dishes to choose from, both traditional and more creative, and the quality is always top-notch. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great tapas experience.

We had an amazing Paella 🥘 absolutely stunning 🤤

Great food, good service, fun atmosphere. Not cheap though!

Excellent food, great service. Booking recommended.

First time trying this local gem & it didn’t disappoint! Welcoming owner, lovely atmosphere & decor inside including lovely outdoor area. Wine & food absolutely delicious! Thank you for a memorable experience & will definitely be back!

I admit that I am a regular customer but this time we just didn't get it!!!!! undercooked hard octopus, chorizo ​​in wine, it didn't even resemble the classic Spanish dish, but it was like mini sausages with a sauce that you didn't understand much. Paella is ok but not very good. I have been frequenting this restaurant for a long time and never such a disappointing dinner. serious thing that we complained about the octopus and the chorizo, one was removed while the other was not!!!! 10 pound lose a customer?. service not up to par. what happened to my favorite spanish restaurant!!!!
