Iberico World Tapas Nottingham in Nottingham

Exceptional cuisine and excellent service. We visited on a Friday evening and although the restaurant was busy, it didn’t feel crowded at all. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was quick. Our waiter was brilliant and made us feel really welcome. The ox cheek and the chicken wings were firm favourites but every dish hit the spot. Highly recommend!

No he visitado por un tiempo, pero era tan bueno como recuerdo. Excelente servicio y comida en un restaurante encantador. Sin duda recomiendo y esperamos con interés nuestra próxima visita. ¡Gracias!

Really good tapas, all very flavoursome. Great selection of vegetarian dishes

La comida no es tan fresca, y no es muy española, he estado en España y he tenido mejor comida, es más como una versión elaborada

Gran servicio Comida deliciosa Exhibido maravillosamente No podría fallar el servicio Atento y cortés La atención al detalle fue genial

The food is excellent. Very tasty and full of flavour. The wine was very nice too. It's now my second favourite restaurant in Nottingham. I'd highly recommend.

Best tapas ever. Delicious food from a menu that included some dishes that we have not seen elsewhere.

During a Saturday day out with girlfriends (pre-booked thinking the winter wonderland would be opening but it wasn’t!!!) we’d seen the good reviews for Iberico works tapas but it was a good walk from the station. So we went bar to bar looking at their menus for an alternative place for a light bite. However, nothing looked suitable … so we made it to Iberico JUST in time to be let in for the end of lunch service ..”if you order quickly”. We were so incredibly pleased to made it in time as the staff were absolutely charming, the food incredibly delicious, the cocktails fantastically tasty!! No exaggeration here … the vegan and carnivores were equally happy. We ended up with a booth seat for three which was also fab because the restaurant was otherwise busy and there seemed to be some tables close together - all be it I realised one area was a larger group across three tables. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant anyone who is a foodie or drinker and the disappointment of not having winter wonderland was absolutely forgotten… I’ll come back here next time I’m in Nottingham but just remember to book or get here in better time!! (Express menu made it great value too!)

Absolutamente comida y servicio de primera clase! Impresionante lugar y muy razonable precio (y llenando! ) comida. Sin duda volveremos si alguna vez estamos en la zona.

Great food, great staff, great drinks. Gambas, panacotta and olive oil martini were awesome

Amazing food. Best tapas in the UK.

We were visiting our daughter who is studying in the City.It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we hadn’t booked.We each had 2 tapas, a mixture of meat and veg. The food was delicious and really fresh and the ambiance was amazing. I would have given the review full marks, but the step and level change going to the toilets was really unexpected and a real trip hazard. All in all a really great experience.

Good food and a nice atmosphere.

First visit back here since 2013 and glad to see it's still doing excellent food. Went for the express menu offer and added a few extra dishes, it was excellent value for money. Loved the Spanish cheese plate, delicious bread and olives, the mackerel with hash brown was probably my favourite tapas plate, also loved the braised Rabbit empanadas. Excellent choice of wine at a decent price too. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, can't wait to return

Not far from the train station in a sketchy neighborhood, a perfect stop before the return journey to London. An atmospheric cave-like setting and super service. Spicy and tangy, seasoned inside-out chicken wings, classic patatas bravas, and a vast selection of tapas… seasonal squash tapas, beetroot tapas and monk fish tapas to name a few… all super. I highly recommend.

Top restaurant! Fast service and high standards Tapas were great, including Japanese style tapas.

Once again perfect, we had a lovely selection of tapas, great wine and the best Sherry. We greeted with a friendly smile and a complimentary glass of fizz for my birthday. The service was just right, not rushed at all and always helpful and prompt. We had trout, gambas, pork loin, and heritage tomato salad….all were very good. The room is so lovely and cosy and the ambience is just right. All staff excellent and friendly. One of our favourite nights out and we will be back.

My sister and I visited Bar Iberico this afternoon, and while the food was quite nice, our experience was overshadowed by a serious safety issue in the men's toilet. Unfortunately, I took a nasty fall down two massive steps leading into the restroom. Although there was a sign on the door advising to watch the step, it was too late for me. The sudden drop caught me completely off guard, and I was shaken up badly when I hit the bottom. I’m thankful I didn’t break a leg or arm, but it was a close call. This situation could easily lead to a severe injury for someone else, and I strongly urge the management to address this hazard immediately. A sign isn’t enough when the risk is so significant. It’s just not good enough. I hope they take this seriously because, apart from this, the food was enjoyable. However, safety should always come first. **Rating:** 2/5 (The food was good, but the potential danger in the restroom can't be overlooked.)

First visit here and expected v good things. The result, yes it was good but I've had better tapas in UK places. Top dishes were the inside out chicken, mutton and aubergine. Dishes not so great were the brocoli, strawberry roll, a number of others were OK. These were fairly small tapas so needed 7 in total plus desserts each. Wine choices were good. Rioja was v nice. Service friendly enough with young local staff.

Excellent food , good service , would highly recommend

Great food, shame about the way they serve the chorizo oil by throwing it on your lap

The express dining menu for about £19 pp with bread and two tapas was lovely. The surcharge for a few tapas dishes of £2.50 was worth it. The ham croquette was divine, cheesy and ham, very delicious. The high standards of the food here were impressive. Although personally, not a big fan of the chicken, as they were a little dry, but the fish was amazing.

Simply delicious tapas and excellent portions in a great setting with wonderful staff. All very helpful people particularly in guiding us through the menu. Nothing more needs saying - great evening out.

Interesting place. The food and wine were very good

This was far and above some of the best tapas I have ever had. The menu was so reasonably priced and the food just kept on coming. It was such a shame not being able to finish some of the dishes. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous tapas plates, med or large size, I could have worked my way through the menu! Service is top notch and lovely setting, what's not to like!

Certainly our best 'foodie' discovery in Nottingham for many years, Iberico World Tapas exceed all expectations. Friendly and helpful staff, truly distinctive food served in nice surroundings made for a memorable eating experience. Must go back!

At 72 years of age I have been to more than a few tapas restaurants in my time. This one is easily the BEST! Food should not be allowed to be this good!! Highly recommended.

Great food - tapa's taken up a level (or two). Great service and atmosphere. Every dish we had was something special and would recommend you definitely try the 'inside out chicken wings' - once you've tried them you won't want wings done any other way (if only I could work out how they made them....)

Excellent. Food was excellent. As were the staff and the location. This is a destination restaurant. Very impressive.

Nothing to complain about, everything was lovely, service was prompt and we were always checked on. Would definitely recommend.

This has been a long time favourite but disappointed on Wednesday. 3 of the inside out chicken wings had no bone present. Disinterested staff - I ordered a glass of specific red wine from the menu, but white wine arrived. I explained. Then the waiter emptied the dregs of 2 bottles and used a third to deliver a glass of red. When I asked what it was, it was Rioja, not the wine I ordered. I was asked to explain which wine I'd ordered, but without being shown the wine list. I did my best and a new glass was topped up, with the bottle placed label inwards, so I still have no idea what I drank. Is this fast food or bib gourmand? Perhaps I'm just getting old. (Wish I'd gone to the Kean's Head.)

Great customer service and atmosphere and the food delicious! Thank you 🙂

Delicious food, great service, interesting surroundings and reasonable prices.

Exquisite tastes, excellent service. We were there for dinner and we will definitely return next time we are in Nottingham. Everything we ordered was as expected. The lamb amazingly cooked, the inside out chicken wings are the best chicken wings I ever ate. The goat cheese, beetroot tapas were a favourite too. And the Catalan cheesecake was a dream! Pleasantly surprised to see the wine list brings wines from North Macedonia.

Nipped in on to the way to a gig. Ace service and absolutely fantastic flavours. Will definitely return

Worth trying. Not the best though

Beautiful food, great atmosphere

An exceptional meal. I took my other half out for a birthday meal and we had the most beautiful food, well presented and delicious. Great service and engafing waitresses too. We will return.

Enjoyed the experience as a whole, just felt let down by the sea food dishes as the octopus tasted bland and over cooked somewhat, the prawns didn’t have any flavour seemed washed out, the peppers though were one of my favourites along with the lamb which was the highlight definitely.

Food was fantastic. Lamb special was absolutely exquisite.

Not sure how it’s got its Michelin star rating as our overall experience last night was abit disappointing. The waitress/waiter wasn’t that friendly and seemed just focused on taking our orders as the next sitting was in two hours time and they were more interested in that than us. The food was served quickly and tasted nice although one dish the mackerel ceviche wasn’t that pleasant. The desserts were good. All 6 in our party a mixture of ages were a little disappointed and probably won’t return.

I bookes table for my birthday and they welcome me by a orange cocktail . It’s really nice, I love the salmon, chicken wing out. Staff really nice. Love it !!

Amazing place, we went with my husband and daughter! The food was brilliant and really tasty! The prices were great for the quality of the food!

Very friendly staff. Good quality was very good

The food was very nice but the staff was rude to us from the beginning. We arrived 5 minutes late to our reservation, and there were a few empty tables still. The waiter told us we can only order food in the next 15 minutes as the kitchen id closing. It seemed as if we were rushed to finish eating and. Leave as soon as possible. Wouldn’t expect this from a fine dining restaurant. Will not go again or recommend.

I went to iberico to celebrate my birthday yesterday (28-3-2024) with my family! Firstly I would like to thank Ross & his team for our fantastic experience! This place is definitely our favourite! The food & ambiance is the best, every dish was given full marks! Please pass on our appreciation to your chefs, they certainly know how to deliver! I would recommend Iberico to everyone! Big thanks to Ross & his professional team! See you all very soon! Glenn M

Outstanding. Best tapas bar by a country mile.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! The best place we have eaten at for ages!!! Firstly the staff are welcoming and attentive. The decor is subtle, but beautiful. But the food just blew us away! Everything we had was literally amazing. The only tiny (very tiny) criticism was that the patatas bravas was a little bit salty. We had bread & olives for starters. The bread was fresh, and the olives were flavourful. You know the rest of the food is going to be on point when the olive oil is pure quality! We then had lamb, chorizo, patatas bravas, however the stars of the show were the aubergine dish and the beetroot and goats curd! Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for the beautiful food and renewing our faith in eating out 🙌

This is another firm favourite for those of us who know good food.This is one of the best fine dining Tapas restaurants I've tried, the others being in London, Granada, Alicante City and Madrid

Awful attitude of staff...I asked if there was any pork in the food...I'm Jewish....thereafter the waiter kept bringing dishes and pointedly commenting on how the potatoes were pork free and kosher....then the bread was pork free and kosher...etc...you get the gist....I'm surprised he wasn't goose stepping to the table !

I have now been to this tapas restaurant three times, and each time it was excellent. The food is of the highest quality. The dishes are innovative and the chef finds interesting and successful combinations of tastes. There is always a wide choice with varied ingredients. On the last visit, we had all three "specials" and they were top notch. Very good service. Highly recommended.

This is my second time here and it does not disappoint. The tapas is some the best I've had anywhere, with some really amazing flavours. The Bream was excellent, and service first class. If you in Nottingham I would recommend it.

Excellent dinner as usual. Brought some family for the first time and they were wowed. Always love the inside out chicken wings and churros. Coming again for lunch with a friend this weekend. So reliable and always excellent service.

Relaxed, tasty, innovative…fabulous spot for lunch with friends. Saturday lunch is a quiet time for many restaurants. It made it more special for us as we had first class service from the team. Andrew could not have been more helpful. His knowledge of the menu and wine list was really impressive and helped ensure we got the best choices. The Japanese flavours were really singing off the plate. Portion sizes were perfect and the dishes were beautifully presented. Real magic from the kitchen. You have to put this restaurant on your A list! Desert was very special based on a Barraquito cocktail.

Great food, cocktails and service Good value too Recommend the cheese and charcuterie boards, pardon peppers, chorizo and honey, patatas bravas, squash dumplings …

A married couple here for dinner on a quiet and rainy Tuesday night, we were surprised to find the restaurant was largely full. Luckily there was a spare table (we hadn't booked), and staff had us sat down quickly. Of the staff, our table was waited by the most knowledgeable and pleasant young lady, thank you Emma. We chose three starters, and three mains; this was quite enough for the two of us, and allied to a lovely malbec red we had a wonderful evening meal. Emma suggested the dishes we had chosen were largely her recommendations too, and we positively gushed with enthusiasm. The sweets were also of very high standard, there was nothing we could possibly improve. The meal was worth every penny, go here for the best international fusion tapas dishes, you will NOT come away disappointed. Do book to avoid disappointment.

Always excellent food and service, the fourth time we've been and it was as good as ever.

Standouts were the patatas bravas and chorizo. Service was attentive, creating a convivial atmosphere. However, some dishes lacked the wow factor. Nevertheless, a memorable dining experience.

Absolutely fabulous tapas always our go to when in notts. The bulgogi mushrooms and chicken wings are awesome!

We ate here end January '24 - pleased to say food, drink and service were amazing - a really lovely evening!

I’ll give it a 10/10. Clean, comfortable, ample table spacing, impeccable service and above all the food, portions and price

Superb restaurant that offers a true taste of Spanish cuisine. One of or perhaps THE best in Nottingham. Opted for the lunch offer: 2 tapas plus Catalonia bread or Sourdough. All the tapas ordered were excellent in both taste and amount, plus delicately presented. Also decided to have a Spanish desert - the Churros and hot chocolate and the treacle tart were chosen and again mouthwateringly delicious. Service was friendly and the staff were very knowledgeable in each dish if we had a question. Would definitely return.

Visited here for the first time last night. The venue, the food,the atmosphere and the staff were absolutely fantastic. We weren't rushed at all and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. The food was cooked to perfection and the servings were very generous. Can't praise it highly enough.

Tremendous experience. Good value and tasty food, helpful service and a nice atmosphere. Really happy with our meal!

We love Iberico! The inside out chicken wings are to die for and we make the trip over from Derbyshire just for them! Staff are always polite and attentive and the food is always amazing.

Found this gem in the Michelin guide as a bib gourmand and very glad we came. Lovely ambience and food was excellent; pork belly, mushrooms (crispy and sticky, fried in the lightest of batters; wings (yum) patatas bravas (like perfect roasties, crispy on outside, fluffy on inside) all absolutely delicious. The experience was enhanced by the service from Andrew. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly and happy throughout recommend dishes, all of which we ended up ordering! Prices white reasonable for the food and service standard. A must visit.

Amazing Tapas, weve been a few times and woudl highly recomend

The food was excellent and interesting as always, its more fine dining small plates with a tapas twist so that few tapas staples are there. The list is short and chnges regularly so there is always something new to try. Staff are excellent and are as attentive as they are passionate and most seem to have been here for years. The thing is, my wife and I have a lot of stress in our lives but at Iberico we always have a great time and leave with a better relationship than we came in with and thats what restaurants should be about.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Not priced to be an every day venue but well worth the money.

We went on new year's Eve and the entire experience was superb. It's a small, cosy venue, our waiter was superb and the food was gorgeous. Couldn't fault a thing and it wasn't expensive either. Loved it, definitely going to be back

Really enjoyed the food, and the ambiance at the location. Service was good, and the food came out at a steady pace, so we had always got at least one plate to be getting on with. I will certainly be going back.

Amazing food & service. Perfect to celebrate with someone/small group. The 72hrs marinated miso black cod and pork belly is recommended

Amazing food, good service, cosy place.

Lovely selection of small plates. Very tasty. Helpful, attentive staff. Warm and cosy environment. Would not hesitate to recommend this business.

Fabulous! The food was even better than the last time we were here. Lots of veggie options. The space and atmosphere are both beautiful. We come back every time we are in Nottingham and we will be back. Thank you for all you do. Fiona

Excellent food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff.

This is a excellent tapas restaurant in the heart of Nottingham; excellent and imaginative food, excellent service and a great ambience-will definitely return when we can !

Brilliant food, atmosphere and staff. Always outstanding

tried to ring the restaurant 47 times prior my booking, aware of the late/cancellation policy. Upon arriving at the restaurant 20 mins late (with reasoning and evidence of trying to get in contact with the restaurant) we was ‘greeted’ by the manager who rudely exclaimed how we have 10 mins to order from the kitchen. He continued to look at his watch, rushing us to our table, not allowing us to apologise or explain our situation of being sent to iberico tapas bar instead of iberico world tapas on our maps. We booked this experience for my partners 27th birthday and has honestly ruined our day. The service alone was the worst service I have ever received - being a restaurant manager myself, this could have been diluted by actually speaking to us. The young waitress was lovely when we explained we felt uncomfortable staying in a restaurant where we could be treated so badly by the manager.

Very delicious - tapas: qeuzine...just mouth watering every bite...absolutely loved everything x❤x

Best place for a fancy night out in Notts. Great food, staff, cocktails and service.

experienced a great welcome and service, excellent food

Just ate at Iberico World Tapas tonight. Meal was average to good and wait staff very good but the manager has serious issues and is probably in the wrong profession. We walked in at 5:00. He said he couldn’t seat us in the restaurant because all the tables were reserved so seated us in the balcony area by the door. At the end of our meal and when we we’re about to leave (at 6:50) I asked why he had refused to seat us in the main dining area as the entire restaurant was empty except for one table. He still insisted every table was booked. When I tried to explain he could have limited our time at a table he said I was unreasonable and followed me out of the restaurant yelling ‘some people have jobs’ Don’t know who owns the restaurant but they need to seriously look at this manager and ask themselves how much damage he is doing to their restaurant’s reputation! Needless to say I will not return and advise everyone to give it a miss because should any issues arise while dining there, this manager is not going to be willing to resolve them.

Not sure where to start. We booked the table for 8 pm and once arrived the place was nearly full. We got, I called it "naughty table". The size and location were silly. A little corner table for two right at the bottom of the stairs and at the passage. More for "eat quick and go". Nearly touched someone else's back, once they arrived. Everything squished like sardines in the can. The place is not big in general, and so the amount of staff was crazy high. Each of them served us during the evening. They were all very friendly though, in particular a young Hungarian girl. She was lovely, and I appreciate her interaction with clients. As someone with 8 years of experience in the restaurant, I understand how important this is and how a simple interaction like this attracts people. Food arrived quickly. It was good, but I would expect more from a Michelin Star restaurant. My impression is that the food was adapted to the English taste, so not as extraordinary as I would expect. The mushrooms were tasteful and crunchy, really good, and the churros were fresh and soft and served with delicious chocolate. However, I was disappointed not to see any vegan options on the menu. I would appreciate more vegetables without dairy addition. I do not fancy marshmallows, but the strawberries served with a marshmallow sort of dip were exquisite. Generally, a bit too expensive for the amount of food we ordered, limited menu with a lack of real Spanish cuisine and a lack of vegan options. I am sure I won't be coming back soon, unless unintentionally. Ah, nearly forgot to mention that a reservation is required, especially during the weekend.

Fantastic environment, food trickled out as it was cooked in true Tapas style. Great tasting food, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

A lovely evening. Great food, great service.

Dinner Iberico World Tapas The Big sister to Bar Iberico. For all you tapas lovers, this is a must visit. Great value early bird menu. We went for the evening special which is 20% off all food and drink. A couple of snacks of homemade sourdough and our favourite Padrón peppers. Tapas we chose Spiced Carrots 🥕 Charred Broccoli 🥦 Chorizo Patatas Bravas And, of course, the famous inside-out chicken wings. For dessert their Churros with chocolate sauce As well as a cheeky espresso Martini.

5 stars but only because I did not have to pay the bill.

Genuinely good tapas would be proud of in a good restaurant in Spain

Have to say the food was top end and the service was brilliant too. Our waitress was fantastic and knew all the ins and outs about the plates.

Thoroughly enjoyable tapas. Well worth the walk in the rain. Good size portions and both the sea bream and mackerel were cooked to perfection. Sadly no dessert photos. Too full! Good service and helpful staff.

Super service, excellent food. Small and very noisy. Difficult to talk with others.

Fabulous food, lovey staff, great experience and excellent value.

A birthday treat from my wife. Had a free Bellini on arrival. Welcoming, friendly staff. Prompt service and very nice food.

Great venue, delicious food & fantastic cosy atmosphere would definitely recommend and return 👍🏼🙌🏼

Visited for my birthday and service was impeccable as always. Staff are friendly attentive and knowledgeable. Got a free glass of Buck’s Fizz for my birthday which was a lovely touch. Tapas was all brilliant. Not too long a wait and all delicious. Padron peppers are always a favourite and didn’t disappoint. Iberico ham was just divine. All was really fresh and delicious. Churros to finish the meal were a great ending. Always a treat to go to and lived up to expectations.

Great menu, with a comprehensive range of tasty tapas and plenty of other options. Greeted by Ian, very professional and friendly guy with a good knowledge of the menu and good recommendations. Table service was provided by Alisha, fantastic friendly and helpful from start to finish. Totally positive experience, highly recommended.

Service was brilliant, food was amazing

Was given a small bar style table in an empty restaurant. Then a person dinning by themselves was sat next to us when the restaurant is empty and this person was coughing and blowing there nose every 3 minutes which was just disgusting and clearly noticeable. The potatoes which were suppose to be triple cooked tasted like they were left under a hot lamp all day. When we were told at the end of our meal that a desert was included in the menu before 6:45 we said thank you and we will take a look only to be told moments later that it’s actually 5 pounds more just added to a overall disappointment experience. Normally a few things here wouldn’t bother me but I just expected a better eating experience from this place. Me and my partner love the Hockley restaurant and have been going for years and this was the first time at the original spot and I did like the decor and the staff were really perlite. The waitress who’s served us was very professional and we did enjoy a lot of the dishes but I don’t think I I will return.
