La Vina in Haringey

This is a great place to eat. The food is always tasty and well presented. We enjoy our meals, which usually include a delicious salad as a starter, then a variety of tapas, followed by ice cream or a dessert. There is a good range of meat, fish and vegetarian tapas as well as a wide choice of wine and beer. Service is friendly and efficient

Would heartily recommend this to any lover of Spanish food. Super ambience, great music, friendly staff and delicious tapas. Recommend the Morcillo Blood Sausage and Padron Peppers. Enjoy!

We went there on a rainy Tuesday evening and our table was soon full of delicious tapas for the four of us to share. I especially enjoyed the marinated anchovies and the salt cod croquets. Delightful and friendly service.

Food was awful, staff were awful all you could hear is their kids screaming up stairs from being left unattended while they worked. Would avoid at all costs much nicer restaurants in London available for the money.

The croquets where home made the black was too die for and the prawns were cooked perfect everything was fresh and friendly staff.

A welcoming and friendly place. There was a good variety of tapas and all we had were really tasty, and the house wine was decent too. They do a good deal on Tuesdays and Wednesdays which we took advantage of. Would definitely recommend for food, or even just for a glass or two of wine in relaxed surroundings.

We regularly eat at La Vina. The food is always good and well presented. I drink the house red wine (Spanish) while my husband has an Estrella beer. The owner, Iris, is always welcoming and happy to advise customers about the varied menu. We feel lucky that our nearest restaurant is so very good. gives small glasses of brandy or liqueurs on the house at the end of a meal.

Excellent food. Warm and friendly service Intimate surroundings. Only thing is cannot understand is why it is not more popular

Delicious tapas, super friendly personel and lovely ambiance! A true hidden treasure! Would 100% recommend this place!

But also for a cosy meal with a friend… La Vina is a place that can make you feel special whatever the occasion. The food is good and the service is too. We had a very happy family get together thanks to La Vina.

Wow- what a hidden gem! The food is top class exceptional. One of the best Spanish restaurants I’ve been to. Would highly recommend

Mason was the best waiter , a great place for tapas! Highly suggest .. start downstairs for drinks and end here. A great venue at leadership market

won a voucher in a charity evening, the food was lovely and staff attentive and could not do enough for you

It looks like it has closed down - several phone calls and a visit indicated it might be closing down - the phone message says that it is closed until further notice for refurbishment

When my family visit they always ask to go here. It's away from all the eateries on green lanes, and I can't imagine it gets much foot traffic, but is well worth a visit. The staff are friendly and helpful and service is good. The food and wine are tasty. They have a deal (on Tuesdays I think) for tapas which works our very well. The atmosphere is chilled.

My boyfriend and I visited La Vina on the way home from work one evening. The food was good - large portion sizes and the staff were friendly. Think it's family run. A good stop off point near the station if you fancy tapas.

This is a smallish restaurant which caters for an eclectic selection of people. On two evenings a week, there are special price offers. It is romantic if there are just two of you, or the staff will push tables together for a family group.

This is one of me and my boyfriends favourite restaurants in London. the food really is amazing and the restaurant itself has such a nice atmosphere, it has the Spanish feel to it. Great for vegetarians as well! Will be back soon.

La Viña es un restaurante familiar local en Haringey. La comida era increíble, con una buena selección de vinos y el personal era muy amable y servicial. También fue uno de los pocos restaurantes en Londres, donde la habitual también charlar con usted, gran ambiente, bien merece una visita!

La Vina Tapas Bar & Restaurante fue una sorpresa realmente bonita. El restaurante es realmente engañosa desde el exterior. Por lo que puedo recordar este restaurante en Haringey ha estado allí durante al menos 20 años en esta zona tranquila de norte de Londrescuando entra dentro de la "La Viña", estará gratamente sorprendido. Es realmente amplia. Dentro del restaurante es como un antiguo bar de estilo español. Si buscas un elegante bar de tapas de moda, este no es el lugar para ti, sin embargo si buscas un autentico bar español, entonces en el lugar correcto.El menú tenía una variedad de comida para elegir. La comida que pedimos estaba agradablemente delicioso y muy abundante.El personal del restaurante era muy amable y atento. El ambiente era genial el sábado por la noche. Gran banda sonora de fondo. Parecía que estabas en España.La comida era bastante caro para lo que teníamos en la noche.Precioso lugar y vale la pena un viaje a "La Viña".

Hemos estado en La muchas veces viña. Intentamos ir un Martes Miércoles cuando tienen 3 por 2 en tapas. Tendemos a pedir la misma cada vez, y ha sido siempre delicioso y a un precio muy razonable. También hemos tenido familia y amigos aquí, y mi cuñado dice que las mejores tapas que ha probado nunca. La camarera jefe y regular es encantador y muy acogedor. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

Este acogedor restaurante pequeño es muy conveniente para nosotros, y lo uso bastante a menudo si no eran normalmente decepcionados con la comida. Visite de nuevo hace unos días después de un año o así desde nuestra última visita, nos dimos cuenta de que no podía revisar nuestra opinión hacia arriba. Personal muy amable como en ocasiones anteriores, y ya que literalmente no podía comer costillas como fueron tan difíciles, no nos cobraron por ellos. El resto de los platos era adecuada, algunos unmistakeably recalentadas. Amigos que usan el restaurante que la calidad de la comida varía mucho de una visita a la siguiente, así que quizás estamos especialmente mala suerte.

Esto fue una agradable sorpresa. Yo estaba buscando reservaciones para 11:00 p. m. en una noche de sábado, y como te puedes imaginar, no era capaz de encontrar muchos de ellos, ya que estaban todos llenos. Entonces encontré este sitio en internet, y está cerca.

This tapas restaurant is very nice. The staff were friendly and the food was great. Best Spanish restaurant I've been to in North London

It was an important dinner for my business. Everything was delicious and I liked the service. We will visit La Vina again and again. Thanks

Wir sind zufällig auf diese Tapas Bar gestoßen und haben eine gemischte Platte genommen. Alles war sooo lecker und frisch zubereitet. Service war klasse und sehr zuvorkommend

Good ambience, feels like a family place. The tapas is a bit different from the average and the best was the squid, black pudding was interesting. Good bottle of wine too. I'd come here again as I like the feel of traditional eateries, I'd like to try more of the menu, and it's a bit secluded where it is, about 200m off Green Lanes near Harringay overground rail station. It would be a good place to go on a date.

We went La Vina for the first time after a friend recommended. We had a great experience, food was very good and staff were so friendly. We really enjoyed our visit.

Quiet Sunday evening and my partner and I went for his birthday dinner to La Vina. The food was tasty and fresh and we really enjoyed it and the actual restaurant is lovely and cosy. The waiter was friendly and welcoming and we will definitely be returning since the food was so good.

Great tapas, lovely wine, friendly service and convenient location. It has special tapas menus mid-week and although it's popular, you can always get a table for two.

We were looking for a Spanish restaurant in the neighbourhood and found this lovely place. Food was just great, we ordered 6 tapas to share between 2 people and they were delicious! Staff was very friendly, place was really nice. We highly reccomend this restaurant and we'll definetely come back soon.

Amazing . Good choice. Came here for freshly cooked Tapas, full of flavour. Polite service and helpful. The following evening we came back to try the paella. It was beautiful. We were amazed. It was tasty and fresh and great service in here too. It's a little gem right up near Haringay station. Service A1. Thanks La Vina

Perhaps it was the dishes we chose - mainly vegetarian - but I felt the food was a bit bland and unexciting. The service was OK but the decor looked tired and uncared for. It doesn't help that the closure of Wightman Road at the moment must be affecting passing trade; the restaurant lacked atmosphere while we were there.It seems to have some regular customers who really like it but I felt we paid quite a lot for small portions and fairly average wine.

My partner suffers from severe anaphylaxis,meaning she can have a severe allergic reaction and die if she comes in to contact with certain food. The proprietor rolled his eyes when informed of this whilst we were ordering our food. Making us feel particularly unwelcome and un-catered for. The peak of his rudeness came when we went to order dessert and he asked if she was allergic to flour. This ignorance on such a serious issue has left me feeling concerned for any future diners safety. That a man who runs a restaurant lacks such knowledge and has such a bad attitude is truly incredible.

I have been coming here on and off for years. In a residential road where you wouldn't really expect a restaurant to be, La Vina is in the Harringay ladder roads surrounded by a lot of mediocre Turkish and Greek restaurants in Green Lanes. The owner is Turkish, front of house staff a mixture of Turkish and East European and I am not sure where the chef is from. The decor is a so-so mediterranean pastiche BUT the food is more than passingly acceptable, the ambience is very good, the wine list concise (Spanish) and good value and the Maitre d' a seasoned customer service professional. The food is tapas based with some more substantial dishes, a good meal for two, with say 8 tapas dishes and a good bottle of wine and service comes in at less than £70, not bad! In terms of quality and authenticity, I would rate the food as 6.5/10 and given the fact the the place has been here nearly for 20 years, they must be doing something right. Chelsea or Knightsbridge this area is not but La Vina has a lot going for it in terms of a balance of value for money and quality. Recommended if you are in this neck of the woods where there's little else to shout about.

Suggested by my son who lives locally and who had been there before. Really enjoyed the relaxed ambience and the friendly service. Absolutely loved the tapas. We shared 15 between the 5 of us (just the right amount) and each and every dish was so good that I would happily order it again. And to top it all the prices were very reasonable indeed. Including olives, garlic bread, wines, beers and soft drinks as well as one pudding and teas & coffees, it was only £22 a head (pre-tip).Very well worth a little detour from the main road.

I almost don't want to let people know about this place... it's just brilliant. Very cozy restaurant with friendly staff and delicious Spanish tapas. Ah: and great selection of wines as well. I've been there so many times, can easily say I've tried all their red wines and they are all great. And, to finalize: it's not in Central London! Thank god for some quiet time!

La VinaThe atmosphere of the restaurant, the ambiance that they create, the layout of the tables, all contribute to your anticipation for some good quality Spanish food. The waiters are friendly, they greet you with that warm smile that doesn't scream of, 'Please hurry up take a seat because we are busy.' The anticipation builds. Maybe they know they are so good, perhaps they know that they are the most authentic Spanish tapas restaurant in London? The food: I am still to find THE Spanish restaurant in London that I can draw comparisons to those of Andalusia, Catalunya and the Basque Country. Perhaps I have set my ambitions high? I live in hope.....La Vina is not the answer to my holy grail. It is what I would say to those on a similar pilgrimage as myself, a standard, 3 out of 5 tapas restaurant. Please don't get me wrong, it's tasty, it brings a smile but doesn't captivate like those taverns in Spain. The mussels, albondigas were good. The patas bravas with (not properly authentic ali oli) were actually very good. The chipirones - badly overcooked. Rubbery and not good. They sadly weren't fried. my fault for probably not reading the menu carefully enough. The pimentos de padron - average. They could have done with more blistering and fresh sea salt flake and olive oil to finish them. Tapas is essentially food that relies on the quality of the ingredients and the delviery of those ingredients by the chefs. Get it right, it sings.... This may have sung along he way but arrived at our table a touch out of breath and off key.

We popped in for a glass of wine on the way home and as the atmosphere was so warm, we decided to opt for a bottle and the Spanish cheese board. Both were lovely and the service was perfect. Highly recommend the house red.Although we only had the cheese, from the smell and look of the dishes being delivered to other diners, I imagine the food to be delicious - we'll definitely go back to sample it.

We recently moved into Haringay and we have already become regulars at this restaurant along with some of our friends. It has a nice interior with wooden décor and a little patio area. The very are all very friendly, and the owner is a lovely guy. He always makes you feel very welcome and lets you go at your own pace. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays they have a 3 for £10 tapas menu which has about 30 different dished to choose from. We have sample most and haven't been disappointed by any. There is also a good selection of wines and the churros are lovely!One complaint - the staff seem to slow a bit when the owner is away.

It's the third time i come to this restaurant and always has been lovely until today..i brought my mother to have a nice and lovely dinner at 21:15 and we ordered steak with red wine sauce and lamb chops..As I'm a chef since long time i look for a good service...but no with this..the table wasn't clean at all..i was getting sticky to it..the brought the drinks..2 san miguels and they were warm plus they took 28min to bring the food to the table..when i saw the time i did ask to the waitress what's going on with food and she told me 5 minuts ..i asked her how does she knows if she doesn't ask to the chef and she answer me '' WHAT CAN I DO'' so i said to her than if the the food was taking another 5 min i did't want it and then she went to the kitchen and cameback with the food after few seconds..the food was ok but the size of the lamb chops was so big what indicates than the animal was old and not a young and tender meat..i always recomended this restaurant to my mates and familiars but i don't think i'll do it again

La Vina is a local for us. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. They do a great deal on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (3 tapas for £10) which makes it an affordable weeknight treat. The house red wine is very good too. We are regulars and would recommend a visit!

Delicious food!!! The lamb shank was sensational. Will definitely be back. It's in such an obscure place, but loved it.

First time in this restaurant,Beautiful foodGood atmosphere and the waiter was amazing even give us free cidre and beer,, will Defo be back soon :)

Came here for two meals as I was staying in a local hotel. Both times was impressed with the quality and price of the food. The service was friendly and quick.I would definitely recommend this restaurant and come here again if I was in the area

Pleasant tapas place run by a friendly woman providing good value in an unlikely corner of N London. Just sometimes perhaps the chef could be less enthusiastic with the chilli!

We decided to visit La Vina on a Friday evening having eaten there a couple of times in the past. The restaurant was fairly busy and had a couple of tables empty. We were immediately seated on the veranda at the front of the restaurant (this is not shown in any of the promotional pictures on their Website) and was presented with the menu; it was downhill from there on in. We waited 35 minutes for our order to be taken after being served our drinks. I found it quite amusing to see the introduction of a couple of staples from a typical Eastern Mediterranean menu as Spanish tapas, these being Houmous and Helim; perhaps being situated at the top of the hill from Green Lanes, La Vina thought it acceptable. In my opinion this is a bad move as it weakens the concept of a Spanish Tapas Bar. We ordered a couple of tapas for starters that were just about acceptable in terms of taste. However, the Chipirones a la plancha were the worst I have ever tasted; these are baby squid shells that were pan-fried to the point of being rubbery and lacked any resemblance of the authentic dishes served in Tapas Bars and Restaurants across the whole of Spain. For our main course we choose Solomillo Pimienta; this dish was just about acceptable although the vegetable side-dish was somewhat small as a portion. La Vina missed the opportunity to up-sell by promoting additional vegetables or potato dishes; their loss. Having endured poor service and far from interesting and tasty food, I opted to try a favourite dessert of mine - Santiago Cake; this was very tasty but let down by the failure to serve coffee and brandy that was ordered at the same time. The bill was expensive for the quality of the food. Would I go there again, not in a million years.

We went to La Vina with our 13 month old daughter, who had one of her most stroppy dining experiences every. The waiter was extremely friendly and warm, and put us at ease despite her unruly behaviour. Without him this would have been one of the worse dining experiences of my life, just because of how stressed I got with my daughter playing up - but he made our evening much nicer by being kind, trying to entertain her, and telling us constantly not to worry. Thank you! We can't fault the service. We can fault the food though, which was average. The bread was cheap and turned quickly hard. The garlic mushrooms were great and the best tapas we ordered. The rest was average to poor: flat beans were ok, but the dish seemed expensive; the fresh artichoke was tasteless, which is a shame -clearly, the chef does not know how to cook this lovely dish; patatas bravas were ok but not very fresh; and the tortilla was bad, just because it was not fresh - it tasted like it had been re-warmed actually, though I do hope this was not the case... The house white was decent for its price and we managed to enjoy our meal overall. Nevertheless we'd think twice about going back as there are so many good restaurants in this part of London, that are also more affordable (this is not expensive but neither does not represent good value, I think). Overall, an average to poor dining experience that was saved by the outstanding service.

I'm not generally a big fan of tapas for a meal, yes it can be tasty but you leave hungry and feeling like you have been overcharged (or is that just me?).....Not this place, my friend and I shared 6 dishes and enjoyed every single one and there was plenty enough food. We ordered the house wine (again something I am wary of) and this was of high quality. The atmosphere and service was also top drawer. When the bill came we were so surprised by the value/ quality that we left a 25-30% tip and still felt like we had gained a bargain. I will certainly be visiting again and taking my friends when they visit London. I have nothing at all to moan about (and that really is unlike me)

We've been to La Vina twice in the last couple of months. The first time was on a Tuesday for their cheap deal which we found disappointing but we decided to give them another chance last night. The food isn't actively bad but it's not very good either. The padron peppers were clearly cooked from frozen and the chorizo was very gristly. A garlic chicken dish came with large lumps of undercooked garlic and had a strange biter aftertaste. On the upside, a spinach dish was nice and the prawns in a gambas pil pil fresh and juicy. The decor is fun and feels a bit like being on holiday and the service is sweet but, even though we live close by, I don't think we'll be going back.

I have been going to LaVina since the day first opened and I am very happy that it is still up and going the tapas is amazing and very fresh thanks to the lady owner Yeliz hope to see you more menu more year.

excellent tapas in a relaxing atmosphere i have been going to La vina tapas bar since it had first opened and the owner lady has always made us fill like we are at home thanks to all the staff at La vina

I have been eating at la vina for many years, but on the four occasions I have been there in the last year, a male waiter has been serving instead of the ladies that were there previous. He was rude and made us all feel uncomfortable, unwelcome and has frankly put all of us off ever returning to la vina. Which is a shame, as it used to be our favourite place to eat as a family.

I have been to la viña on five or six occassions. The food is pleasant and the service has been fine. However when I visited the restaurant on Friday 21 March from the moment we stepped into the restaurant we encountered the waiter it was a case of being rushed to take a seat of his choosing to being rushed to order. Within an hour of being there we were told that our table was needed because "there were reservations and we are very busy". My friend was still finishing her drink and there were a couple of women who were at a table nearby who had been there when we arrived who were also sipping their drinks who were left to enjoy their meal and were not harassed in the same way. Very disappointed with the level of service and although I work in the area and have encouraged other work colleagues to go there and we have had office gatherings there I will be looking for alternatives from now on. Absolutely direspectful behaviour.

Excellent tapas in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. It was a busy Sunday evening when we visited so service was a little slower than we would have liked but the food made up for it.

Just moved to the area and exploring the restaurants.Really like the backstreet and relaxed atmosphere although that also relayed to some of the decor and toilet. On arrival the owner/waiter didn't have our telephone booking listed. Begrudgingly he gave us a table outside which was intended for 4 although we were 2 (I booked a table for 2 outside 2hrs prior)Already feeling like a pest I ordered a jug of sangria with a jug of water (with the owner/waiter making it clear he thought I was a cheap little bugger).Brushing that aside it was a nice setting although a bit dated. We had 5 tapas w olives and bread and 1 dessert. The food was ok but not amazing.The sangria we ordered was a little lacking. £50+ later and in as many minutes we were ready to leave.No one said good bye/thanks and the attitude of the owner/waiter was very unwelcoming so will spend my money elsewhere next time.

In our search, looking to the best spanish restaurants in london, we decide this time to try one next to our house, we saw previous good references and we choose this new restaurant for our friday night. The place is not really bad, spanish typical music, and a small terrace in the front bar. But the food is one of the worst I've ever tried in london, and probably in my whole life. We order a few tapas (small to medium portions) and everything was reheated, the same sausages for everything and the taste was awful, some tapas were cold inside. I would never recommend this place to anybody but even more if you are from spain. Avoid this place¡¡¡¡¡

Well! I have never been to a Tapas Bar and Restaurant before, and being a tad disappointed with the Hotel across the road I decided to give this place a try. I'm really glad I did! The owner, Hosein, was very welcoming and helped me understand the way that the menu worked. The meal I had was very enjoyable, as was the choice of wine. The atmosphere reminded me of a couple of holidays I had in Majorca in my youth. One particular thing that I was most imp[ressed with was the very long list of vegetarian dishes on offer and I complimented Hosein on this, adding that it was far superior to many British Restaurants! So come on all you British restaurants, improve your vegetarian menus! I would certainly re-visit this establishment, with my wife as she just happens to be a vegetarian!

we had our new years eve celebrations there, couldnt have picked better place. family owned, friendly, fast, fun. tapas was ok. paella was fantabulous. everyone from our company has cravings for it now, we are planning another visit soon.the location is great-about 30 seconds from the station, easy to get home if you stuff yourself silly

The most unlikely location but definitely worth a visit! I've eaten here several times over the past 10 years and this place has produced some consistently good food during that time, making me come back time and time again. The food is matched with great hospitality making this place a must to visit - esp mid-week, they have great offers that is definitely easy on the pocket, without compromising quality. Well done them!

Visited La Vina again a few weeks ago and was very re-assured to see it hit the same high marks for good quality, good value tapas. In fact we thought the service had improved remarkably. Tapas delicious as usual. Was good to see it half busy at the early time of 6 o'clock.

I've eaten in La Vina several times over the years that i've lived in Haringey and every time has been a delight. The food is always fresh and beautifully cooked, the service is mostly attentive and the bill is always good value. Can't recommend this place enough.

This is one of the most unlikely locations in London for a Spanish Tapa Bar! On the corner of the unremarkable rat-run that is Wightman Road and Station Approach (for Harringay Railway Station) sits this little gem, La Vina.Huge windows and a modest timber terrace from the outside, dim candle lights and split levels of seating on the interior... all quite pleasent but kinda wasted on such a drab street.We were given a nice window seat, pleasent attentive service and chose a range of tapas which we both enjoyed - Chorizo was in abundance, lovely Spanish omlette and none of it expensive enough to make you reluctant to experiment... just get a plate of what takes you fancy!If this were on the Hornsey side of the tracks, I'm sure the 'Crouch End set' would be raving about this place ...as it is, it'll just remain a wee secret!

Was staying at a terrible, shabby 'hotel' across the road (The London Shelton - avoid). But things perked up when we went into La Vina for an early evening meal. An impressive menu and delightful staff. Service was a little slow and confused (waited for too long to be told there was no Octopus and were served one Tapas short). Nevertheless we enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the wine.

La Vina is without doubt one of our favourite local restaurants and living in North London, we have quite a few to choose from! We always go for the Tapas, of which our obligatory picks are Patatas Bravas, Crab Claws and Chorizo in RedWine. The atmosphere is always nice and cosy, with fairly good service if not great. Spanish music playing in the background (usually Gypsy Kings!) played at just the right volume. I read with interest the two most recent reviews, I do hope the service/quality has not slipped recently.Value for money is great considering the cost of the more flashy tapas restaurants appearing the West End of late.

This stuff gives Spanish food a bad nameWe love about 50 metres away so I desperately wanted to like this place but it was rubbish.Food was really quite bland and tasted like it was reheated. One of the waitresses literally looked like she wanted to kill herself. My wife and I both had hairs in our tortilla. We told the waitress and she didn't know what to do. She took them away and brought us a new one and nothing more of it was mentioned in terms of apology or anything.At the end of the meal I took the bill back to her and said I wasn't going to pay for the tortilla (which was included on it). She agreed but again no apology or anything. We left knowing that we wouldn't be troubling them again with our custom. They missed out as if it had of been halfway decent we would be regulars!Recanted this story to other friends who live on the Ladder and they laughed because they had a very similar experience. Oh dear.........If you want good tapas go to El Parador in Mornington Crescent!

Usually love this place, went recently and it wasn't great. We ordered 6 tapas, 5 arrived together but they forgot the patatas bravas which came at the end...the other dishes weren't as good as usual.

A nice local restaurant with good quality tapas and other Spanish dishes. It makes a welcome change to most of the other local kebab restaurants. I probably go here every six weeks or so and it usualy ends up costing more than I think it will but I keep going back.

A good choice of food, decently cooked, with staff ranging from very effective and nice to OK (depending on the waitress), and usually relatively short waiting times. All for acceptable prices for the area.I've been to 4 tapas restaurants in London, and this is undoubtedly the best one in terms of value for money.

Chris' been going for years, but I discovered La Vina recently. The quality of the tapas is outstanding, in particular, squid stuffed with prawns, chorizo and beans, lamb either grilled or casseroled in brandy. Alas the kidneys and mushrooms are no longer on the menu. Service is friendly and the armosphere warm and welcoming, and the ambience convincingly Spanish. Always a great experience for the stomach and soul. And it won't offend your wallet.

Nice place in the back streets on Haringey. Food was excellent and staff were easy on the eye as well, especially the head waitress.We ordered a mix of dishes and they were all great. Be sure to try the garlic potatoes, squid stuffed with prawns, chicken in spicy salsa, lambs liver and grilled octopus. All delicious and for a decent price.If this restaurant was in the city they would have made millions! Will definitely be going back.

Lovely little restaurant located near to Harringay rail station. Traditional tapas restaurant with great service. We ordered several dishes and thought the spicy tomato chicken, the potatoes with garlic sauce and the prawns were awesome. This is the second time we had been and were impressed on both occasions. Really good value for money.

The air-con was way too cold, even at the peak of the May heat wave. Our first 2 wine choices were unavailable, the 3rd was warm. The service was slow, took over half an hour to get the cold tapas plates. The warm tapas were terrible, cold, re-heated, dried up and just bad. So bad in fact we had to send it back - which is a first, I've never sent food back before! The manager was apologetic, apparently they were having a bad night - but I will not be going back again and suggest you give it a miss too - bad, bad, tapas.

The food is delightful and the service is really friendly and polite. Great value for money.
