My son recommended that we came here as he had been several times in the past, and I can see why! Lovely spacious restaurant with great decor and a varied and interesting menu. We all went for the Tapas and were blown away by it. Too many to mention, and all were so good. We will be back. The staff were very efficient and friendly and took the time the talk to my young granddaughter, making her an honorary waitress for the meal. Thanks to everyone, an enjoyable evening.

What can I say, this is our favourite restaurant. I honestly can’t explain how good it is. The decor, the food, the service. We love it. Only small minus this time was drinks took quite a while to come, did our livers a favour really as if they had come quicker we would have wanted another bottle of wine. Our waitress was called Poppy, she was brilliant. Friendly and knowledgeable, just right. The owner came over at the end of our meal and offered us a free shot which is just such a lovely touch. Can’t wait to go again.

With the weather being so nice we decided to go to Lal for dinner in the garden. The food was lovely, the service was friendly, and it felt like we were on holiday. So pleased to have a restaurant like Lal in Selsey.

Food really, but unfortunately the service was appalling. Meal came out, but not at the same time. My wife ordered a cocktail for her first drink, which took 30 minutes. Asked for another beer, never came. Such a shame.

I had such a lovely time drinking cocktails. It's lovely to be so welcome, even though I'm the owner of La Banca down the road. Businesses do well together creating an evening High Street destination in Selsey.

What a fabulous place. Lovely atmosphere and great staff. We only had a light lunch and a few cocktails. Next time I'm back in Selsey, I shall bring my family. You could have been anywhere in the world. Thank you

Having met up with friends, I looked through the menu and was spoilt for choice, so many tasty things on the Tapas menu, we each chose 4 dishes and there wasn't a single complaint between us, the patats bravas were very popular, I'm already looking forward to coming back soon.

We stumbled across this restaurant yesterday. We have been coming to Selsey for over 30 years, and I can honestly say this is the best restaurant for food, service and ambience. It felt like we were abroad. The staff are attentive, friendly and accommodating. It was busy and we didn’t make a reservation but they made room for us. We sat in the back garden which is a beautiful little oasis full of charm, flowers and great seating! Mostly in the sun. The food was excellent! I’m always dubious of tapas food outside of Spain, but they absolutely nailed it! We had about 12 dishes, and each and everyone one was delicious. The wine menu didn’t disappoint and they also have a full cocktail menu. My husband was happy with his Mahou beer. The best part was the price. For 4 of us, with 12 dishes ( including mussels and fish) a bottle of Prosecco, 3 cocktails and 5 beers were £120 which was more than enough for 5 of us. The restaurant doesn’t add service charge either. So please do remember to tip. All the staff deserve it. Overall, this is my go to place now when I’m in Selsey.

Enjoyable meal, efficient service, human touch. Could not ask for more attention. All of us found dishes we would choose and all of us enjoyed what we chose. Can’t say fairer than that.

Found on the main street in Selsey, you will find this little gem. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed by the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a great menu with a full selection of tapas, cocktails, and moctails. The place is decorated so beautifully. I even have to take a picture of the hand wash station beside the bathrooms. A staff member told me they have a large outdoor seating area that will be open again closer to summer, and apparently its beautiful when it's open, I hope to get the opportunity to go back and sit outside with some more amazing food and cocktails. I would highly recommend it as it's so worth the visit.
