Just like it's little sibling across the road, this is a gem of a restaurant which can offer up exceptional cooking. My only niggle, and it's a big one, is that the staff will upsell the amount of fish and/or meat you order. 1.2kg Turbot is way too much for two people, as is 1.5kg of steak.

What a fabulous place! All dishes were amazing, starting with incredible starters, followed by a delicious main course, and finishing with the most delightful dessert. The food and service were incredible. We were served by a wonderful waitress, Alicia, who enhanced the experience. Thank you so much for looking after us all evening. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves quality food and a great atmosphere.

Great place for basque steak and the octopus is so tender and the cheesecake is to die for! Only dissapointment was the fries and the 5jnhamon as this was sliced by machine rather than hand and felt it tasted dry. Great wines too!

Echoing the others’ reviews about service. Food was also very average for the price. I wouldn’t go back here, there are so many other places that do Basque food brilliantly and don’t compromise on service (including customer service after the meal)

Walking down the street on approach to the restaurant, I smelled a delicious scent of charring meat roasting over wood. I thought to myself "I hope we're eating there". When we got to the restaurant and opened the door, I was happy to confirm that with an even stronger whiff of the smoke. The experience was only enhanced by walking by the meat/fish fridge where we could see the quality of the steaks. Food was excellent as most of the other reviews mentioned. Octopus was the most tender I've had in a long time. The iberico (cooked) was phenomenal, even better than the steak. The only minor nitpick I have is that the steak came on a sizzling cast iron plate - which meant the steak continued to cook as we were eating and got overdone. I would recommend only a warm plate or no hot plate at all if you're a stickler about the temperature of your steak.

I’ve been going here for years, and the food just gets better. The service is spot on - attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The wine list always has some interesting ones - especially from places like Mallorca, Tenerife. Its interior design also beautiful and timeless - reflecting the warmth of the service. Not just the best restaurant in Marylebone, but one of the best in London. It’s been often copied in London, but never replicated. The OG of Basque food.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Lurra yesterday, and it was amazing. From the warm welcome to the exceptional food, everything exceeded our expectations. We kicked things off with the octopus, which was perfectly cooked, tender with a nice char. The steak was the highlight—succulent, cooked exactly how we wanted, and full of rich, smokey flavors. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing. We left feeling completely satisfied and can’t wait to come back. Thanks for making our night so special!

Best dry - aged steak in London! Probably only Spanish and Italian people can fully appreciate what a good dry-aged steak is given here they are used to wet-aged beef. I don’t understand the reviews that say this place is too expensive - it’s not the cheapest but it’s completely worth paying for the high quality products. One of my favourite restaurants in London. The casque cheesecake is also a must have! :)

Escuché cosas buenas sobre este restaurante, así que estaba deseando que nuestra Navidad se reuniera allí, (5 de nosotros) Las primeras impresiones fueron que el lugar estaba ocupado y tenía un gran ambiente, no hay muchos muebles suaves y mesas apretadas, así que se volvió ruidoso a veces y luchó para escuchar a nuestros amigos por el ruido, es diciembre, sin embargo, así que entienda que este es un momento ocupado para ellos! El vino era encantador, pero sobreprecio, que va a hacer un buen descuento en botellas de vino por £ 60 que si no donde sería inferior a £ 30. Los entrantes fueron geniales, tuvimos croquetas, jamón ibérico, médula ósea y pulpo, todos fueron fantásticos y no tienen culpa. La red estaba un poco falto de atención al detalle, pedimos el ribeye (venía recomendado por el camarero para tener medio raro) cuando llegó a la mesa no había parte de él medio raro. ¡Era azul en el mejor de los casos! Cuando tienes una mesa de 5 compartiendo y recibes toda la comida a la vez, es difícil enviar de vuelta el evento principal, ya que todos los lados simplemente se enfriarían. ¡Además eran más de 100 libras! La pierna de cordero estaba cruda en el hueso, lo que de nuevo no es genial cuando cuesta £ 70! Fue muy sabroso y de nuevo encantador. Pero cuando pagas tanto, ese cordero debería caerse del hueso. No lo hizo. Pedí hablar con alguien sobre mi experiencia de la red, no quería hablar con la encantadora camarera ya que estaba ocupada y no fue ella quien cocinó la comida. Volvió preguntando si quería llevármelo a casa. Quería decir que al cobrar los precios que cobran es necesario obtener el lugar de cocción. No pedimos que el filete fuera medio raro, nos lo recomendaron, así que cuando salga azul no deberían haberse molestado en decirnos cómo está saliendo y decir que saldrá básicamente crudo. (No lo habríamos pedido si lo supiéramos) En general id decir que fue una buena experiencia. Restaurante muy ruidoso con buen ambiente aunque un poco demasiado ruidoso a veces. Buen vino, pero sobreprecio Buena comida, pero muy caro Starters - Increíble Mains - OK Servicio - Genial ¿Vuelvo, probablemente no, pero escucho que su restaurante hermano es mejor, así que voy a intentarlo en el año nuevo.

Starters were good. Wine was good. Mains were good, but price-shock at bill time wasn’t. £145 for a steak that was good but not great, shared between 4, wasn’t a happy ending. We were told that the policy of the restaurant is “replace any steak which customers are unhappy about at the point of serving”… which is a strange way of measuring customer satisfaction, as you won’t know what you’re being charged until you see the bill. Nearly £800 for four diners (starters, 3 bottles of wine, turbot, a steak, side dishes)… £180+ per person didn’t feel like fair value. I won’t come again.

Esta fue mi segunda visita a Lurra, y si bien la comida era tan deliciosa como recordaba, algunos de los platos se sentían muy caros. Lamentablemente, el servicio faltó esta vez. El camarero y la camarera no mencionaron los especiales diarios; tuvimos que preguntar por ellos nosotros mismos. Cuando estábamos a punto de salir, descubrí que habían derramado salsa de pimiento rojo en mi abrigo, que había sido colgado en el respaldo de mi asiento ya que no se ofrecieron a tomarlo a nuestra llegada. No estoy seguro de si estaban al tanto del derrame y eligieron ignorarlo, o si simplemente no estaban prestando atención a sus invitados. En general, la experiencia no comenzó o terminó bien, y me fui sintiéndome decepcionado.

Teníamos muchas ganas de nuestra primera visita a Lurra, pero no podíamos haber estado más decepcionados. La comida es razonable, pero los precios son escandalosos. Como ejemplo mi entrante de queso de cabra fue de £ 13 para 2 galletas muy pequeñas con un poco de queso y el filete de 14 años fue de £ 140 para 2 personas. Los vinos también son caros. Además de eso, este restaurante es increíblemente ruidoso, así que pasamos la noche luchando para escucharnos hablar. El servicio también era desdeñoso a veces como si pedir las cosas más simples fuera demasiado problema. Definitivamente no volveré.

Our go-to spot for dinner, this Basque grill impresses with its small but outstanding menu. The octopus is a must-try—exceptionally soft, tender, and bursting with flavors. The burnt Basque cheesecake is the perfect finale: rich and irresistibly creamy. A truly delightful dining experience every time.

I recently dined at this restaurant and was truly impressed by the amazing ambiance. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. As a vegetarian, I was happy to find that they were very accommodating to my dietary needs—though I did call ahead to ensure there were options available. The pan con tomate and peppers were absolutely delicious, with fresh, vibrant flavors. The Spanish tortilla was equally outstanding—perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. Overall, the combination of great food and a welcoming environment made for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend!

Disappointing Service Undermined the Entire Experience I recently dined at Lurra, and while the food was satisfactory, the overall experience was severely compromised by the subpar service. Upon being seated and provided with menus, we waited for over 15 minutes before the waiter finally approached our table. Unfortunately, his demeanor was far from welcoming, and instead of offering any recommendations or guidance, he simply stood there, unengaged. When we inquired about the different steak options, he appeared confused and was unable to clearly explain the choices. We also ordered a bottle of wine, and when the waiter attempted to open it, he spilled a significant amount of wine on both the table and the floor, as though it was his first time opening a bottle. This incident was indicative of the overall lack of professionalism we experienced throughout the lunch. Despite our hopes that the service might improve, it did not. The level of attention provided was minimal, despite there being only four occupied tables in the entire restaurant. After finishing our meal, we found it exceedingly difficult to get the waiter’s attention to request the bill, which resulted in an additional 15-minute wait while the staff appeared to be snacking in the kitchen. When the bill finally arrived, I asked if a service charge was included, to which the waiter confirmed it was. I requested its removal due to the numerous service issues we had encountered. When he returned, rather than addressing the concerns, he inquired rudely about the specific issues we had experienced. I explained the delays, the lack of service, and the mishap with the wine, but instead of apologizing, the waiter became defensive and abruptly walked away. As we were leaving, the waiter, who was casually drinking water at the bar, did not offer a proper farewell. Instead, he made a dismissive remark and began to argue that his six years of experience justified the service we received. Given this experience, it's understandable why the restaurant was nearly empty. While the food at Lurra was decent, the entire dining experience was overshadowed by the unprofessional and inattentive service. It’s unfortunate that such service is causing the establishment to lose customers. I would not recommend Lurra to others based on this experience.

We always enjoy the food here. However, the price has increased quite a bit when we visited this time. What also surprised us is they charge 15% of discretionary service fee. This amount is way off the market for this type of restaurant. It is a great place but not Michelin star / fine dining. 13% - 13.5% would be more appropriate.

Very nicely decorated store with good vibes. Freshly made food on the grill and delicious appetizers. Also quite some choices available. Personally, loved the paprika fries and cheesecake! The bone marrow dish was a bit filling and they gave a lot (than we expected). Also you should definitely have it hot unlike us - as we were chatting and had it when it had hardened at room temp. The dish easily becomes greasy after a few bites but otherwise flavorful and well made. The octopus meat was really soft and tender! However, we did not find a particular liking to the orange sauce but overall the octopus meat was super tender and delicious unlike other Spanish restaurants we’ve tried and tastier than some of the places we’ve tried in London.

We went for dinner today and food was pretty good despite being a bit pricey. And yet we experienced one of the worst service ever while in London. They didn’t bother to change our plates between the courses, then brought a pretty rare ribeye steak (with some blood on the bone) to the table when we actually ordered “medium”. When I said the meat was rare the response from the waitress was “I understand but this is a Spanish restaurant and all of our customers know that we cook the meat a bit less than usual.” So I was literally looked down upon for not having the level of Basque food expertise of their average customer profile, (apparently didn’t quite meet their expectation as a customer!). And the best part is, while lecturing me on the ribeye, they forgot to serve one of the side dishes we ordered and still included it in the bill (luckily I am an average customer when it comes to checking the final bill). Definitely won’t ever go back despite amazing food!

"Great food as always. Disappointing service and ambient: 1) waiter smashing a wine glass on our table and barely apologised 2) given temporary seat next to window glass door so feeling drafty and in the way until moved to a better table after our starters 3) waiter forgot to bring one of the dishes we order (peppers) but charged us all the same at the end 4) while waiting for the bill I saw a mouse popping from the corner near the small window. 5) Ambience too loud (should to something about echos), waiters very nervous not smiling, one of the cooks angrily shouting he has had enough of working for this restaurant. Not remote relaxing, let alone romantic. 6) I complained about the above with the Italian manager. He apologised but only offered a refund for the food we paid for and never received. Too little a consolation for a disappointing wedding anniversary dinner and the hefty bill we paid!

Lurra seems to have all ingredients to succeed but fails on executing with lack of attention to details. Overall rather disappointing experience. Basic ingredients are ok but the chef is not making the most out of it. The tomato bread was excellent, the jamon a bit dry. The filet was chewy most likely due the the way it was cooked (right out if the fridge or for too long in the pan on one side). Plate was cold and no question asked about how the filet should be served. Cheesecake is excellent and espresso ok Overall there is not much missing for the team to make this a great place.

Great food and altogether good experience. I would, however, highly prefer if you’re not leading the pack with this service fee nonsense, with yours set at 15%, higher than the current going “market rate”. It’s totally fine to increase your prices, but this hidden negative surprise fee is not ok in general as an industry phenomenon, and please don’t be the leader of this inelegant solution to what is understandably a challenging environment for restaurants… I’m ok to pay up for quality, just not to be blindsided or tricked.

Over the last 5 years we’ve been to Lurra many times and always been blown away by the whole experience. So we were really disappointed when dining there last night. There was zero engagement or rapport from the waiting staff, and the food wasn’t nearly as good as we’ve been used to. The octopus was not as tender, the portion size of the anchovies had been reduced and they can no longer justify the £6 per portion price. The sharing rib eye is now served rare on a sizzling plate for you to ‘cook’ yourself, and was tasteless and chewy. The cheeseboard and baked cheesecake were good, but not good enough for us to recommend Lurra again. Has management changed I the last year? Won’t be booking again.

I went to Lurra a few times in 2017-19 and now recently again in 2024. It is a pleasant dining experience with good to very good food, but the new pricing is way over the top and this brings the experience down from 4 to 5 stars to a mere 3. We had a low-key, low alcohol, week-night dinner for 2 and we spent well over £300. That just leaves a sour taste even though the food was delicious. The lamb (main to share), croquetas and burnt cheesecake were standouts. I also enjoyed the sides, however: £15 (+ 15% service charge) for a tomato salad, that is one large tomato sliced and dressed, is offensive. I have eaten as well or better for less than half the price tag (in central London) and for a fraction (elsewhere in England and Europe), so I will not be in a rush to come back.

The food was exquisite HOWEVER, the prices don’t match the quantity. You are paying prices of fine dining tasting menu for small bites. What bothered me the most is that we arrived quite early in the night and they claimed that the smallest fish they had was over 1.2kg; for £98 the kg and knowing we are two people of course there will be waste. The fish was also undercooked so that made it even worse. Paying £140 per person with no alcohol is crazy. The service is okay but once again for the price point it should be even better and faultless.

For these prices, I was expecting the most spectacular steak but there was so much uncooked fat and a veneer of grease on the plate that it overshadowed the taste of the meat. It was shocking to be paying over £200 for a steak where 1/3 of it was inedible to us. I was also left wondering why we were paying £15 for a plate of chopped up tomatoes. Maybe they were slightly seasoned with salt but otherwise underwhelming and unexciting. The octopus was beautifully cooked but the piquilo sauce was very bland. We ordered roasted peppers on the side but I don't recall seeing or tasting any chimichurri which was also disappointing. We had come for a birthday meal and I added that detail to the special occasion section in the booking form. However there was absolutely no acknowledgement from the staff about the birthday. the serving staff were polite but overall there was a sterile coldness. Also, the restaurant (or definitely in the area we were sitting in) gave off rich obnoxious banker vibes so that was also off putting. The best thing was the cheesecake which was delicious.

I really enjoyed Lurra: superb food, great service and nice atmosphere. Also, not too expensive for the area. Highly recommended and will go again - hopefully very soon.

One of the worst dining experience on this price point in London . Overcooked and less than avarage taste steak for 150pound , mushy fries and no taste steak tartare . Today only good thing was peppers .

Estuvimos el domingo para celebrar el día de la madre en UK y salimos muy decepcionados. Pedimos varios entrantes y varios platos principales, el personal de servicio vinieron varias veces a decirnos que no había varias cosas, entre ellas pan y nos dijeron por este que la cocina ya estaba cerrada La bebería tardaron más de 20 minutos en servirla, primero trajeron una cerveza, a los 10 minutos unos refrescos y así todo. El último plato nos llegó hora y media después de haberlo pedido, era bacalao al pil pil aunque la salsa de esta, dejaba que desear. Obviamente al final hablamos con el manager para comunicarle que el service charge no lo pagaríamos porque fue bastante decepcionante. Mucho tiene que cambiar para que repitamos

Booked a table and was not told will be sitting in a tent adjacent to the restaurant. The table was plastic and the chairs were uncomfortable garden furniture. The meal was overpriced and limited.

Recommended place to experience good basque cuisine. The menu is curated and offers a selection of delicious starters (the croquetas de jamon my favorite) as well as fish and meat mains (I loved the the steak of Rubia Gallega). To conclude with something sweat, try also a perfect basque cheesecake!

Been to Lurra twice, and both times were enjoyable. We have tried a bit of everything, however I must say that the yellow tail tartare, the jamon and the turbot (even my picky eater 4 year old enjoyed it!) were our favourites. The cheesecake is superb and it’s definitely worth to pop in only to have that dessert and a glass of wine. Staff is friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere. We will be back! Thank you

Fantastic food! But please do something about the heat upstairs and the most uncomfortable chairs our group had ever sat on - it really detracts from the experience. Please just try and sit on one of those chairs yourself for a couple of hours!

Great food! Lovely staff! However the men at two tables next to us were yelling and laughing like there’s no tomorrow (what’s new), so we had to leave earlier and with a headache. That ruined the experience and the special date we wanted to celebrate

I learned about Lurra in Marylebone Summer Festival and I was dreaming about going there since then. I felt in love with the octopus in the festival and restaurant also didin’t dissappoint. It is an amazing basque restaurant. We ordered bunch of starters and half octopus. Starters were delicious but portions are a bit small for their price. Octopus was one of the best octopus dish I had. We also ordered Burnt Basque Cheesecake and it was creamy and delicious. Highly recommend it!

Hidden gem in Marylebone. Food was just top notch, served properly and as directed by us. The artichoke a must, great octopus and steak. The razón clams, to die for. Great service too, we were lucky to have a Greek young girl that took great care of us. Truly outstanding food in a nice busy setting, but not overly busy, best to go in groups of 4-6 people.

Honestly, Yella Yella just... hit the spot. You know when you walk into a place and you can just feel the good vibes ? That was Yella Yella. The food wasn't just good, it was like a warm hug for my tastebuds. And the people working there ? They genuinely seemed to care, which made the whole experience so much better. It wasn't just a meal, it was a little moment of happiness. I left feeling completely content and like I'd found a real gem. Thank you Yella² ! I will come back again soon.♡
