Jose Pizarro in City of London, Westminster

I can explain you not why …! Because was everything amazing thanks very much to all . Specially all the food delicious thanks again.

Had a lovely range of tapas at Jose Pizarro.Service was excellent and I would particularly recommend the Spanish omelette and the chorizo. The Navarra wine wax particularly good.

Absolutely fabulous food, with something to suit everyone. We washed our plates down with fabulous wine. The service for the first half of the meal was great, but then our server disappeared and the next one wasn't as attentive.

José Pizarro, known for its celebrated Spanish cuisine and tapas-style dining, had been on my must-visit list for a while. As someone who loves the idea of sharing food and savoring different flavors, I was excited to experience the offerings of a restaurant led by such a renowned chef. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be quite underwhelming, with the food falling short of expectations in both flavor and presentation. The evening started with a simple yet promising dish—pan y tomate, which I paired with marinated anchovies. This combination was by far the highlight of the meal, with the fresh, tangy tomato on crusty bread complementing the salty, umami-rich anchovies perfectly. It was a good start, but unfortunately, it was the peak of the culinary experience. The croquetas and prawn fritters, which I was particularly looking forward to, were disappointing. The croquetas were bland, lacking the rich, creamy texture and flavor they are known for. The prawn fritters were even worse, as they were soggy and greasy, leaving a strong impression that the oil used for frying was past its prime. It was a greasy mishap that overshadowed any potential these dishes had. The tuna tartare with avocado, another dish I had high hopes for, was a letdown. The balance of flavors was completely off, with the avocado and lime dominating the dish, turning what should have been a delicate tuna tartare into something more akin to a ceviche. The tuna, over-marinated and lacking its natural flavor, was nearly lost amidst the other ingredients. The tortilla, a classic Spanish dish, was mediocre at best. It was served with an aioli that was supposed to elevate the dish, but the sauce was overpoweringly oily and lacked the essential garlic flavor that makes aioli so delightful. It was a stark reminder that even simple dishes can fall flat without attention to detail. Being a fan of José Pizarro’s work, especially his Basque cuisine book, I couldn’t resist ordering the torta de queso (cheesecake) for dessert. Sadly, this too was a disappointment. The cheesecake was dry and stale, lacking the creamy richness I had hoped for. It was a sad end to a meal that had already been a series of culinary missteps. Overall, my experience at José Pizarro was underwhelming. The few bright spots couldn’t make up for the many disappointments, and the lack of flavor and care in the dishes was surprising for such a highly regarded restaurant. Based on this visit, I can only give the experience a 6/10. I hope that my next encounter with José Pizarro’s cuisine will live up to the high expectations set by his reputation and previous works.

Dreadful service and food is extortionately priced. I would not recommend.

Excellent menu (as to be expected from Jose!) - fresh ingredients executed to a high standard. Staff are less than attentive at times which can be frustrating. Great place to stop for lunch before getting on the train.

Awful staff. They don’t let you cross an imaginary line between this venue and the next one in Broadgate Circle.

We received very bad treatment from the person in charge of the place, who required us to present PRINTED, the voucher we had received. The reservation had been confirmed a month ago and I sent all the information at the time. It shouldn't even be necessary to present anything on your cell phone. Average food, the best was the cheesecake. We honestly expected much more.

Your staff, from kitchen to front of house are awesome - friendly, knowledgeable and efficient - they're an absolute credit to you. Food never disappoints so all in all another great experience. Thank you!

Absolutely horrendous experience. Zero authenticity and very bad food quality adn taste, rude waiter, poor service. Inedible tomato salad was brought out with stale milled pepper and later denied by rude waiter. Other waiter did not have initiative to do his job but did have the nerve to ask personal questions. Strange adaptations of ‘tapas’, never before seen seen in Spain. Pan con tomate made with tinned tomato instead of fresh.

We came here for a celebration meal as a birthday after work and made the mistake of not realising that city workers use the area for their post work drinks. It is very noisy including the restaurant itself which makes you shout to hear yourself talk. Service was good and we were well looked after. Tapas came quickly and was well cooked. Of course they are small plates but the portions for the cost were on the smaller side. Expensive for the small baked cheesecake. A mixed experience and maybe best to come when it is quieter.

Great venue and great service with nice tapas, would visit again!

Vey very busy place. But good food, nice atmosphere and amazing location.

Another great meal in one of Jose's restaurant. The food was delicious and the waitress gave some excellent recommendations.

My wife and I went to Jose Pizarro recently for dinner. We live close by and it was our first visit. There is seating available inside and outside. Service was very good and friendly. Recommend to make reservation because it was busy on weeknight. Food was tasty - recommend the pan con tomate and croquettes. Good wine list and nice atmosphere. We will be back.

Superb venue, food and staff were very good. If you enjoy Spanish food this is a must visit venue, would recommend and return.

Thank you very much to all José Pizzaro Broadgate Circle personel to make our wedding day so so special, thank you for beeing so kind, nice, helpfull and cooperating, you guys made us very happy, special thank you for the General manager who was on top with his professionalism also special thank you to Georgios who help me a lot to organise this event and also I would like to thank to the kitchen brigade who served us some excellent platters.we had an amazing wedding day.

I booked this restaurant as I saw Jose on TV. He seemed passionate about food and as the TV presenter was raving about his dishes I thought that it would be worth a visit. The food that we had was acceptable, but I have cooked better myself. There were a few reasons why this restaurant was not good, the key one was probably the staff. They did not seem motivated to give a high level of service. When I went in went in, I hung up my coat as no one made any move to do this for me. The staff did not walk the room to see if we needed our wine topped up, if we were enjoying our meal or if wanted anything else from the menu. My husband and I order starters to share and a main course each and I distinctly remember discussing with the waiter how I’d like my pork cooked. After waiting quite some time, and long after my husband had finished his food, I got up and asked the manger where my meal was. I would have thought, that at this point, the manager would have tried to recover the situation, but instead he sent the waiter over to say I didn’t order it in the first place. It would have been so easy for the staff to give us a good experience. I suspect they were either poorly trained or they just didn’t care. In the end they did offer to cook the pork but by that time I just wanted to leave. We were not looking for anything special, just well cooked, simple food. Unfortunately I fell for the TV hype. I wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t go back.

Came here for tapas and wine. We got the house red which was good and very full-bodied. The chorizo, croquettes, beetroot salad and patatas bravas were all delicious. We were a bit rushed at first because someone else had our table booked less than 2 hours after our booking, but when the time came they found us another table, which we really appreciated.

Small restaurant but food was very good value especially the set-menus. Nice wine selection. The cheapest Manzanilla on the list is delectable.

Excellent meal with family last night. The staff were amazing and so attentive. Food was delicious. Thank you for making my daughters birthday so special.

Wonderful lunch and marvellous service

We came here on an unplanned visit as we were in the area but we've had heard about the place. The food was nice. The highlight for me was the pluma ibérica, great fatty meat that melts in your mouth. The octopus was good but, coming from Spain, I prefer it with potatoes. The mash was a bit too liquid and, not my favourite. The croquetas of the day were spinach and blue cheese... They were great! Patatas bravas were nice but, perhaps not bravas enough as in not too hot. The service was great though. We didn't have a booked table and they located us on a tall table at the beginning ( very busy lunch time). When I asked, they rearranged it so they gave us a normal table, much more comfortable and they moved everything for us. They were brilliant. The churros were nice but, not brilliant. The wine, I would like a bit more variety of less expensive wines. Overall pretty nice.

Definitely not the right place if you’re looking for a quiet place to eat and have a conversation. Very noisy. The food was awful. No taste at all in any dish, not even salt.

Fantastic food, impeccable service. We’ll definitely be back.

I found the food to be lacking in authentic Spanish flavours. Given our educated and exposed palates, it's perplexing why we weren't served dishes that truly reflect Spanish cuisine." The pulpo with broccoli?? I don’t think it’s a traditional way of serving this this

Had a timeout voucher for 50% off food but wasn't impressed with most of the food - bread was stale and the cheeses were average. The expensive anchovies were fantastic. Very loud in the restaurant on a Tuesday night

Meagre portions of mediocre expensive food . Spanish omelette- if I’d made this afternoon home I’d be disappointed . Beetroot salad £8 for 8 bits of beetroot . And a very long wait for everything .noisy Disappointing . Only good thing was pleasant waitress .

Very disappointing. Their website advertises high end tapas. One word to describe all dishes: bland. Not seasoned. Even the bread with olive oil: tasteless. Octopus nicely cooked. The sauce: bland. Prawns nice and big. Tortilla: bland. House wine:very nice. Service very nice. Decor: bland.

This place is excellent, we really enjoyed it! Food was great, everything came out fast, staff are attentive and really friendly. Highly recommended. I think it may be one of the nicest experiences I had in London.

Excellent attention from the waiters and staff of the establishment

Everything is really perfect here!

We got served raw prawns and when asking about it to the waiter she confirmed to us that it was raw and done incorrectly. She said it would be taken off the bill. Later when we came the manager came and confirmed that the prawns was taken off the bill due to the reason that we did not like us which seems liked shifting the problem to us when the prawns were raw

Tomato salad with salmorejo sauce highly recommended! The presa meat was also very nice and high quality (I will definitely come back especially for this one!!) The staff was also very nice and smiley (something very rare to find in London restaurants!)

We had our small dog with us this time. We were offered a bowl of water for her. Our waitress was lovely. Food as always top notch and does not take your eyes out on drinks prices.Will definitely go again

Jose as “yeswayjose” is truly a gem! Tapas at their best, genuinely prepared and cooked right in front of you and so tasty as to be unbelievably good! The very basic Pan Tomates is so simple you wonder how they make it taste so good! The service is so friendly they don’t know how to say no! We were honoured to meet Jose himself and a really self-effacing guy he is. We walked around Bermondsey Street for the first time and there’s loads of eateries, but Jose’s is the best! We’ve eaten in many many tapas bars both in the UK & Spain but not one is as good as Jose’s. It’s 240 miles away from where we live but I would seriously travel that far just to enjoy the great food and wonderful atmosphere! Muy muy buena.

Great place with amazing food! Highly recommend the octopus ! Croquettes were ok, not the best ones in London , but cheesecake was amazing!!!

First visit to this JP outpost and we loved it. Food beautifully cooked and presented, generous portions and choice. Good selection of wines by the glass. Perfect, relaxed lunch spot on a chilly November Friday afternoon. Spicy prawn fritters and the chorizo tortilla were particularly amazing!

"I been visiting this beautiful place last Saturday the food was stunning and the staff super friendly and very focus, I really recommend if you wanna join a relaxing evening with delicious Spanish tapas !! 😊

Very good tapas - particularly the patatas bravas which (unusually) are triple fried.

We had a great meal but the attention of those involved was superb, especially that of José Pacheco himself. A great experience.

A bit disappointed with this Pizarro branch. Dined on a Thursday evening and the place was unbelievably loud. The waiter had a packet of tobacco in his back pocket through the night and was checking his phone next to the tables he was waiting on. Food was okay but overpriced, £18 for 4 gambas al ajillo. Only 2 toilets so this lead to long queues and messy cubicles with water on floor. Would much rather Pizarro restaurant in Bermondsey.

Went for breakfast and was lovely. Waiter couldn't do enough for us, very great and highly recommend.

My colleagues were raving about this place but honestly my experience was that it was just so-so. We had the tasting menu which had a range of tapas including croquetas, cheese, chorizo and various other bits that didn’t seem very Spanish (like bruschetta). It was all fine, nothing outstanding. The order in which the dishes came out was a bit strange with sourdough coming out right at the end (when everyone was already very full). All in all, not terrible but not somewhere I would choose to go if I wanted authentic Spanish tapas.

Very good pan con tomate. The pulpo and ibérico pork were excellent. Prawns and tortilla were ok, nothing special. The wine selection gets pricey pretty quickly, but many choices by the glass. The bread is dry and the basque cheesecake is dense and also a bit dry. Pretty loud inside, so not the nicest.

We ate in at this lovely Tapas restaurant yesterday evening. The food was delicious and Raffa was the perfect host. She was friendly and professional. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend this place. Hope Raffa serves you.

The food and drink was nice but the dishes arrived one by one over a span of over an hour. The servers apologized which I appreciated. Nice setting for lunch

I came here for dinner with my partner and we sat at the bar. The food was overall good, generally pretty tasty, a couple dishes under-seasoned but overall nice. Good wine & nice atmosphere. However, we both noticed a couple of the chefs using /checking their mobile phones and then touching the food/garnishes for plating straight after without washing hands between, which concerned me from a hygiene perspective hence the 3 stars

My husband and I went to Jose Pizarro for a nice Saturday brunch. What we got was a completely empty restaurant with super over priced food and terribly unprofessional staff (except for our waitress.) We got the £25 set menu and the croquettes were nice but microwaved, the baby potatoes were microwaved too and I was served one of the worst salads I’ve ever seen (unchopped lettuce with capers thrown on top), we almost thought it was a joke. On top of this the staff was loud, slow and looked bothered they had to work as we were the only ones there, mind you this was a Saturday at 11:30am. We will never return and I recommend you look else where, your money will be wasted here.

Atmosphere great but advice is to order quite a few dishes because they aren't the biggest

Just went for drinks and sat outside. Was ok but limited choice of beer. Wine was good

I literally can't remember the last time I wrote a review in which I couldn't find some small thing to criticise. However, our experience on Tuesday, 18/7/23, at José Pizarro was faultless. From the moment we arrived shortly after 12.00, till we left around 3pm, we couldn't stop commenting on how wonderful absolutely everything was. The Maitre D looked a bit anxious, when I told him our party of 4 hadn't booked, but said he'd squeeze us in, and gave us a lovely table by the open, sliding doors. It seemed a bit odd at the time, as it was virtually empty, however, it was totally full, including the outside tables, within about half an hour. Every single, other member of staff we dealt with was also absolutely charming, especially our main server, Alex, who apologised for being a bit slow taking our order, as she was relatively new, but in fact, was totally professional. She was also incredibly patient with taking photos of all of us, on all 4 of our phones. There was a fairly limited menu (which to me, is actually a good sign), but we had no trouble finding vegetarian dishes, as one of us was veggie. We all agreed the olives were the best we had ever tasted, and as each new dish was brought, we were swooning at how delicious they all were. Small details like good quality napkins, just added to our appreciation of the restaurant. Perhaps the best thing, though, was the fact that, including service, 6 tapas dishes, 3 desserts (shared between us), 4 teas or coffees, and one glass of wine (mine!) the bill only came to £102, which was incredibly good value for the location, let alone the stunning quality. We gave Alex an additional £10 tip, as we felt she deserved it, and we made a point of telling the Maitre D how impressed we were with every aspect of our meal. I have already told all my friends about it, and will definitely be back as soon as possible.

They were very busy, but staff tried hard to make sure everyone was attended to. Tapas were served fast and very tasty. Iberico ham was bellota and above average quality, plus decent serving size for price.

Excellent food with adequate portion sizes. Service was exceptional.

Very friendly service and a very nice selection of dishes

A disappointing experience, service was slow and disjointed. some of the plates were luke warm. The octopus we were served was awful, easily a day or more old, very rubbery and cold. Had to sent it back. they gave us the wrong bill which was double what we eventually paid. Please don't go to this restaurant, it really offers a very poor experience.

Broadgate Circle can get very busy, especially during a weekday evening. Like most of the food establishments here, expect a slightly less favourable experience compared to restaurants at quieter locations. During my latest visit we were passed by waiting staff several times, who neglected to look in our direction, forcing me to call out at increasingly elevated volumes to get attention. When we did come to place our order we discovered two of the items we wanted were no longer available, which would have been good to know when we were handed our menus. However, from the point that our mysterious invisibility cloak was lifted, the service was actually friendly and helpful. Mainstays, such as the jamon and the pickled anchovies, were great as usual, but other dishes fell a bit flat, especially the sourdough, which was cold and dense and the Basque cheesecake, which was slightly burnt. While the food was OK the bottle of José Pizarro rosé we ordered was very nice - it certainly helped to smooth out an otherwise rocky dinner.

Incredible food as always at a José Pizarro restaurant and this branch is no exception!The tapas selection was very comprehensive and each portion was beautifully presented. However, we felt that the atmosphere of this particular branch was a bit cold as opposed to the flagship on Bermondsey St. The overall environment was also quite loud but that’s mainly because of surrounding bars on Broadgate Circle so nothing that can be changed by the restaurant sadly. I still had to knock down one start though as I felt the service was also a bit rushed and sometimes hesitant which made the overall experience a little bit pushy (we ate 6-8 tapas and dessert in literally 45mins and felt like we were pushed to finish as soon as possible even though the restaurant was not full). Anyway, we had a good experience overall but will not probably return at this specific branch.

Fairly typical Spanish tapas restaurant. Unfortunately the menu is very expensive for what you get; I don't know if that is to do with the central London location though. The portions were smaller than local Spanish restaurants I go to but nearly double the price. Meat dishes in particular were very expensive. The menu was also relatively small in terms of choice. Drinks weren't as expensive by comparison. The decor inside was seemed a bit cold and bland and didn't create the warmest atmosphere. The mini burgers were easily the tastiest thing and I would highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a tapas restaurant in the Broadgate Liverpool Street area and let me tell you, it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warm smiles and a palpable sense of hospitality, especially thanks to the amazing Jairo. Now, let's talk about the food. Oh boy, where do I even begin? The tapas selection at this place is a culinary dream come true. Their jamón ibérico was simply mouthwatering, with its rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor that left me wanting more. It was the perfect start to our meal and set the bar high for what was to come. Next up, the ensaladilla rusa. I am typically not a fan of salads, but this one was like no other. Bursting with fresh and perfectly diced vegetables, it was both refreshing and satisfying. The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine, making it an instant favorite. But let's not forget about the croquetas de jamón ibérico. These little bites of heaven were incredibly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Each bite was a burst of savory goodness, showcasing the high-quality jamón ibérico that was used. It's safe to say that I am now officially obsessed with these croquetas. Moving on to the octopus, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right, it was a true testament to the skill and expertise of the chefs. The presentation was also top-notch, with each piece artfully arranged on the plate. It was a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. Now, let's talk about the grand finale - the basque cheesecake. I have had cheesecakes from various places, but this one truly stood out. It was creamy, rich, and had the perfect balance of sweetness. The crust was perfectly crisp, adding a delightful contrast in texture. I could have easily devoured the entire cheesecake on my own, it was that good. Lastly, I want to express my utmost gratitude to Jairo for his exceptional hospitality. His warm smile and attentive service elevated the entire dining experience. It's rare to find a restaurant where the staff genuinely cares about their customers, and Jairo truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to. Overall, I cannot recommend this tapas restaurant in Broadgate Liverpool Street enough. The food, the service, and the ambiance were all impeccable. So, if you find yourself in the area, make sure to try the jamón ibérico, ensaladilla rusa, croquetas de jamón ibérico, octopus, and the heavenly basque cheesecake. And don't forget to thank Jairo for adding that extra touch of excellence to your dining experience.

I just think the menu is limited. Food taste great, tapas! I think a little bit more variety would help

Great food and location for a work lunch, service can be a bit slow at busier times, but worth the wait

Good venue, lively, good feel, good service. Food - mediocre, disappointing. Lacking any real flavour, over use of garlic. Anybody in tune with tapas will just view this place as overpriced normal food. Croquteas were nice but oil was too hot and the outside dark brown - really? We had 6 dishes - the prawns were nice but £18.00 for 4 prawns. Pork, £17.00 was tender but not an ounce of flavour. Our local tapas in Cuffley is better than this place. Was hoping to see some classic Spanish tapas……but no

Great experience. We came as a times out voucher experience. The service was great. Recommendations on food were great, and management super helpful. Thanks guys, surely I will be coming back!

Too small portions for main course. When I say small, I mean it, tiny like you would have as appetizers

We were really looking forward to this dining experience but left feeling disappointed despite good staff service and ambience of the establishment. The food is very pricey for what you get. Amongst a number of dishes ordered, the croquets of the day were oily, the bread spread with a tomato mixture was soggy and the extremely overpriced ham slices were see through and sparce. The dessert which consisted of a chocolate pot and another of custard were the best dishes ordered.

Always excellent food and service and lovely to sit at the counter and watch the chefs at work or outdoors in Broadgate Circle when the sun is shining. We visit José's various locations a few times a year and highly recommend the excellent tapas, including piping hot croquettes, the highest quality, beautifully sliced jamon iberico, juicy & tasty mini burgers, crisp pan con tomate, fresh seafood (polpo/prawns) and outstanding presa/pluma. Their tortilla is also one of the best we've ever had. Staff are always super friendly and very well informed.

The food was absolutely excellent, every dish was just so tasty and well presented. The only thing that lets this branch down slightly is the decor/ambiance. It's very dull! Not sure if that's just the style in Broadgate Circle because I've been to the Bar Douro there which was also good food, dull corporate decor. But I'd definitely go back for the food. Or maybe just go to the nicer branches in Bermondsey!

I love the José Pizarro located on Bermondsey Street so I was excited to try the Broadgate location. It was very busy and the staff were a bit overwhelmed. Having said that, the food was authentic and the flavors were quite delicious. As it was quite busy, we weren’t able to truly relax and enjoy tapas in a chill environment. The chorizo was unique and really well prepared. The Jamón Ibérico portion was smaller than expected but again, the flavor was fantastic. I recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area and looking for great tapas and a nice wine selection.

Slick tapas and shiny environment in the City. It is perfect for the location and the service, food and drink were delicious!

José in Bermondsey Street was always a delight - small counter dining with a daily menu of delicious produce. José Pizarro in Broadgate is a pale commercialised version of this experience that is ok but doesn't quite hit the mark. Everything was fine.. nothing was great. (Also - £32 for anchovies 🤯)

Been here twice and both fantastic. Reasonably priced, great service too. Croquetas and patatas bravas are standout dishes, as was the chocolate pot dessert. Am sure I'll return for a third visit.

It’s nice to dine at a Spanish restaurant every now and then, and the crew here were real nice and attentive. Being Spanish myself I have to say the pluma was exquisite, order medium raw as it’ll melt in your mouth. The Iberian ham croquettes were also quite good, though I’ve had better omelette and pulpo. Overall a nice experience.

Been to both Broadgate and Bermondsey. The flavours never let them down. I've been fortunate enough to meet José a few times and has always been a true gentleman.

Amazing food and staff as always

I’ve been to the Jose Pizarro on Bermondsey Street before so I had high expectations. Unfortunately the name of the restaurant is the only thing they have in common! Food wasn’t great, decor was bad and the staff didn’t seem to want to be there any more than we did. Just another chain restaurant. Go to Bermondsey street Jose if you want an authentic experience.

A case of style over substance. Tapas dishes feel over-engineered and yet aren’t massively tasty. For example, we had the special deep-fried baby lamb cutlets - promised a lot but delivered little: there was barely any meat and the crumb was bland. We fed this back and did get a free dessert, which was a nice touch. Service and atmosphere were generally good but overall experience does not justify the price tag. I don’t think we’ll return.

Amazing Tapas. Great selection of dishes. The spinach and blue cheese croquettas were insanely good! Lovely atmosphere on a Friday night and service was attentive but relaxed. Highly recommended.

Good location, romantic environment, delicious food. Hope to get more varieties in terms of food. Recommended!! Great place for dating!!

Thing is with tapas bars in the UK they are overpriced and not worth paying out for. Having lived in Spain for years and eating real tapas at real prices (often they come free with a drink) it's hard for me to be complimentary

What a wonderful vibe at this lovely restaurant; food fabulous & service first class. Happily changed our booking time when Theatre got cancelled and so helpful & friendly

Style over substance. Small, bland portions accompanied by a huge bill! The RA was a beautiful setting - and the staff were attentive - but serving staff asking who the 'cheese on toast' was for really emphasised 'style over substance'. It was painful paying almost £200 for a party of 5 when we left still hungry! Five Guys next time!

Really good place for tapas. Not cheap, but you do notice the quality of the ingredients. Also worth mentioning the good service, which showed a real attention to detail. For example, we were advised when we had ordered too much food, and the waitress noticed when we had a lot of sauce left from the mussels and suggested some bread to mop it up. Have to deduct a star for being given a time limit of two hours, on a point of principle.

Hmmn, so not great tapas and not bad tapas. Not super-expensive but definitely not cheap. Poor value patatas bravas, poor quality tomatoes in our salad. Some of the more adventurous dishes just didn't deliver but the tortilla espanola was OK-good as were the mussels. Won't be rushing back I'm afraid, but if you want a ZiZi-like experience but spanish tapas it sort of works.

Amazing food! Great atmosphere Birthday lunch

Non male… ma prezzi alti per piccole quantità e poca scelta di tapas… Abbiamo preso per tre persone 5 tapas e 2 cheesecake (non molto buone) e abbiamo pagato 24 £ a testa.

From the moment we arrived at the restaurant everything was perfect. Wine, food and most importantly service from Alicia a Jairo. Thank you so much and we’ll be back soon!

Nice restaurant 😋 great athmosphere, lovely staff . Red wine was amazing 👏 😍

The chorizo slow cooked for 24 hours in wine is indescribable but reminiscent of pure and utter perfection. I was completely overcome with emotion as this food melted into my tastebuds. Insane experience that only a truly talented chef can create. After a very testy and crowded tube ride, I was happy to sit back and have the wonderful staff describe the menu and offer suggestions—they did not disappoint.

Nice place with many delicious dishes and a good choice of wine. Gets very busy with the corporates so reservation is advisable

Massively Disappointing. It was the quietest place in the area when the other restaurants were spilling out and had no tables. Just poor and will leave you hungry for a proper meal.

Very positive experience. Service and food were excellent. This is a lively and authentic tapas bar that would not be out of place on the streets of Madrid or Barcelona. I particularly enjoyed the ‘gambas al ajillo’.

Very consistent and great for last-minute availability, I’ve visited this branch of Jose Pizarro several times and never been disappointed. Cocktails are good, food is tasty, and the location is excellent for people-watching (and plenty of choices in Broadgate circle for another drink once you’ve finished your meal!)

We had a lovely dinner here. The portion is not big but we could try a few more dishes. Food was tasty and fresh. Price was reasonable. The octopus is for sure recommended. Just the sourdough bread was not so good compared to the other restaurant in general.

Our server was attentive and passionate, she explained the menu and dealt with our dietary requirements. Also, the food selection is amazing aside being a little pricey. I'll definitely recommend this place.

Booked a lunchtime outdoor table. It was thankfully in shade given the very hot sun. We picked items from the appetiser list as Tapas. The selection was a good one. Padron peppers were cooked nicely with salt. The croquettes of the day were blue cheese and spinach and very good too. The cheese selection was nice too if a little small. Our only complaint was the service. We needed to dash as there on a lunch hour. We asked for a bill but had to wait so long we ended up having to pay at the till.

Fantastic, professional, friendly, immaculate and the staff leanne and all the front house amazing so excellent service

I had a very poor service experience at The Swan in Esher on 9th July. Following up my verbal complaint to the on site manager on the evening, I emailed via Jose Pizarro's on line feedback template (reference Yates booking) . Zero response to date (as at 25 July), not even an acknowledgement of my complaint. I cannot find any other way of letting head office know of my displeasure, hence resorting to TripAdvisor

This was a chosen restaurant for one dinner in London (before flying back to US) and it was an absolute delight. Regardless of the food (which was lovely), I was fortunate to sit at the chef’s counter and witness the dedication of the team to make each dish special. The kitchen crew was as delightful as they were hard-working. Thank you to all.

Having eaten tapas in many locations in the UK and abroad I am pleased to say that the food here was as good as I have had anywhere. Service was friendly and efficient. Restaurant had some bizarre shortages, eg no bottled water and no coffee available but that didn’t detract from our meal
