Tapas Brindisa London Bridge in Southwark

Good restaurant with a very welcoming service. Luis was very attentive, kind, explained all we needed and made our time in the restaurant to be pleasant and memorable.

Brilliant place great service and staff.

It's not spain, but you can get good tapas here. The mussels, the cheese, the bread... All delicious. Next time I need to try the pimentos Padron.

I visited this restaurant recently and, although I appreciated being seated quickly, I asked to move from a high seat to a standard table for comfort. The waitress said, “one second/moment” but turned to a man in a suit — possibly the manager — who muttered something from a distance without directly acknowledging my request. No one followed up, and I was left feeling ignored. We spent nearly £100, so I expected a more professional level of service. Sadly, the staff came across as indifferent and disengaged. I couldn’t help but feel that my appearance or background might have influenced the way I was treated, which was disappointing — especially in a multicultural city like London. That said, the food was good, and the initial seating was prompt, so I’ve rated it 3 stars.

Had the best time in Brindisa thanks to the loveliest waiter TIA who really made sure my catchup with a friend from overseas was unforgettable. Tia, thank you ❤️

We popped out for a couple of drinks on Saturday and ended up living our best carb-filled, sunshine-soaked dream at Tapas Brindisa. I'd walked past this place for years—always rammed, always tempting—but somehow, in the middle of what felt like 10,000 people at Borough Market, we scored a sunny table outside (shoutout to the lovely server who made it happen). We kicked things off with two very strong, very perfect margaritas. Then came the Pan con Tomate, the Croquetas de Jamón, some kind of melted cheese magic (Queso Fundido), garlic galore (Gambas al Ajillo), and the sauciest pork belly (Panceta Ibérica) that demanded extra bread just to mop it up. Honestly, if I wasn't in public, I would've licked the bowls. Finished it all off with espresso martinis for dessert because… balance. Final bill? About £180. Jesussss!!! We weren't checking prices—just vibes. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'll save it for a very special occasion… not just a casual Saturday stroll through London. We had 5 small plates and 4 drinks, my wallet can't afford it! Until next time...... See more restaurant reviews on Insta @EncyclopediaOfWineandDine

Great place for having tapas! Hector is very friendly and he did a great job accommodating me in my lunch break.

Lovely and kind staff, they really made my visit more special and helped whilst my partner was in hospital nearby. Great croquetas also

What a fun experience tonight at Brindisa. Mum and I choose 4 tapas to share amd we were served by the amazing Eliza. She was the perfect balance of giving us the attention we needed, while also giving us space to enjoy the experience. She’s a natural care taker- you can tell she takes great pride in her role, and it added such warmth to the experience e. She made what was already a great dining experience, exceptional. Highly recommend. Thank you!

I originally wanted to have a meal, but unfortunately, Paella is no longer sold here, so I had to order the similar ARROZ NEGRO instead. It is cuttlefish risotto with lemon flavor. It is delicious but will be cloying if you eat too much. It seems that too much garlic mayonnaise is used.

Delicious food and great service. Luís served us very well!

The waiter is very insistent and literally takes the plates from under your nose when you don't have time to swallow. You won't have time to read the entire menu and the waiter is already standing over you and asking what you choose, breathing down your neck. Additionally, when ordering, despite the small crowd, he forgot to bring everything. Unfortunately, the food is also not impressive. I advise you not to go to the toilet.

The tapas are good, we were served by a very nice Spanish guy, good location, but I think the price is quite high.

A truly wonderful evening from start to finish. After a relaxed drink at the bar, we were promptly shown to our table. The food was excellent. I had the lamb, which came highly recommended - beautifully cooked, tender, and full of flavour. I also couldn’t resist ordering the prawns, a standout from a previous visit. They were every bit as delicious as I remembered. A special thanks to Marta and Kiera, whose thoughtful recommendations and warm service made us feel genuinely looked after. This place continues to impress - I’ll absolutely be returning.

We visited this place with a friend and had a very disappointing experience. After being seated, my friend went to the toilet, and while she was away, a member of staff asked if I wanted a drink. I explained that I would wait until my friend returned. However, no one offered us any water or came back to check on us. Meanwhile, the staff were attentively serving all the tables around us, yet completely ignored ours. We waited for over 10 minutes without anyone approaching us again. Feeling completely overlooked and unwelcome, we sadly decided to leave. Overall, it was a very poor first impression and we won’t be coming back.

Had a truly lovely time at this Brindisa branch last week. The food came out quickly, piping hot, and full of incredible flavor—every dish was fresh, vibrant, and delicious. There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t enjoy! We had a mix of sangria and wine, both served perfectly chilled and bursting with character. What really made the evening special was the service—genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive throughout. A huge thank you to Luis and Marta, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their hospitality truly stood out. Can’t wait to come back!

I enjoyed the food here. Atmosphere was even more enjoyable because you're away from the shuffling of borough market goers, while still experiencing them. We had the Txuleta. Cousin always wants to go rare, but I'm a medium kind of guy. The steak was pretty good I must admit. Had some sides as well, bravas and the king prawn. Even the beer was very nice, had 2 for lunch. 😆

Thank you Tia and Hector. The service was impeccable. Best night of my visit.

,Me and my friends had an amazing experience at Brindisa. The food, service and atmosphere was perfection. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything from the food to the service made the experience so enjoyable. The tapas were delicious and beautifully presented — we shared a range of dishes and loved every bite. The manager Marta was lovely and made the experience so enjoyable. She was was fantastic, friendly and made sure we felt looked after! Brindisa is a wonderful spot for good food and great company I actually felt like I was in Spain! Me and my friends really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to come back!

Delicious food and very kind staff, the manager Marta was so lovely and friendly!

Haven’t been by Brindisa in awhile it’s s great spot for a quick bite! Luis was s great host, very efficient and indulged our attempts at Spanish!

We have lovely service from Luis C, he was informative about the wines and recommended a great dessert. The food here is always great and we have known Luis from other restaurants! He never fails to deliver! Watch out for him in the Soho restaurant in a few weeks!

Amazing experience!! Fantastic service from Luis C. He used to work for a local restaurant known well to me and it so great to see him working at this branch too and will definitely be following him on his future endeavours! Fantastic service!!

Very good Tapas bar, the food is very good and well presented, as is the service.

Brindisa has long been a cornerstone of Borough Market, renowned both for its exceptional ingredients and its restaurant. We were seated swiftly for a late lunch, and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and impeccably executed, with each dish proving a delight. The wine and drinks selection was equally impressive, complementing the meal beautifully. Given the quality of both the cuisine and the service, the final bill was remarkably reasonable. A truly excellent local choice

The atmosphere is not bad, but a scam of a place, two “tapas” (if you can call it a tapa) seems like a sample, the “tapa” is tiny, and two glasses of water, that's £22, it's horrible, they take you for a fool and charge you £8 for the “service”, they are scammers and it's better to go somewhere else, the food is not that good, it doesn't look anything like the Spanish one and on top of that they charge you an arm and a leg, a total scam.

Really busy, the place was (good for them!). Managed to get a table after a short wait, staff were really pleasant. Cos it was a few weeks ago, I can't remember what the dishes we had were called. What I do remember is that it was probably the best Tapas I've ever eaten. Would defio recommend!

Amazing place, electrifying and friendly atmosphere. Good wine selection and delicious food. Service was very good but probably missed the five stars by a tad bit. Will recommend for a great time with family and friends and will be back again.

Great experience service and food

Luis and Daniel were amazing to us great service and food as always

The food is decent and beyond average. We do also enjoy the seats outside, the vibe, and the nice hospitality of Andres.

Just superb, food was exceptional, great service, well worth a visit!

Amazing food. Excellent service. Mediocre atmosphere. ✨ This is a tapas restaurant. For those not familiar, "tapas" is a style of dining where people share small plates for the table. For 3 people, we had 5 plates + dessert + wine l. But if you're really hungry you might want to order more as portion sizes are towards the small end. I recommend the Jamon Croquettes (overpriced but delicious), the "patatas bravas", and the "Spanish Tortilla". Was not happy with "Pan con tomate" and would not recommend it. I've had better. Being in central London, expect to pay a premium (e.g £8.50 for three croquettes) plus a 13.5% service charge, instead of the typical 12.5%. The atmosphere is underwhelming. During our visit it was extremely packed and noisy. If someone was ordering at the bar, they would brush backs with someone dining at a table. Very tightly packed tables, to maximise profits. Not pleasant at all from a customer view. A booking is recommended.

The food is delicious, especially the bread with tomato. The waiters and waitresses are very nice, especially Luis, I would return 100/100

Great, fast food prep. Everything we had was good to eat. It just always so busy!

Great food and really good service. If you find ROI important this place is for you. If you like the Kardashians, it isn't.

Check your bill! We had some lunch here with a couple of glasses of wine. Food was ok and service was good. Atmosphere was nice as it was first sunny day of the year. However when the bill came there was 3 items amounting to over £30 that weren’t ours.

Everything is very delicious, garlic prawns, Iberian ham croquettes! And above all, your excellent attention, thank you Andrés!!!

An exceptional experience, highly recommended. Luis has recommended and guided us throughout the experience.

Came here for dinner with a friend last Friday night. Really lively & buzzing atmosphere (but not to the point of being too loud where you can't hear each other). We were both really impressed with the food. Good service too. We didn't have to wait too long for a table given you can't book ahead (we arrived about 6.15pm & only had to wait about 10/15mins)

Everything was very good, the food was very good, the service spectacular. Luis attended us, he was very friendly and recommended us very well. Very good price quality.

Went here a few months ago with a friend and the food was incredible, and all the staff were so nice!

My family had a beautiful lunch at Tapas Brindisa London Bridge. The team were warm ,friendly and very professional. Can definitely recommend to friends and family to visit.

I’ve known Brindisa as a brand for years, and it always had a great quality, would it be food or service. Today, I visited Brindisa for the first time in over a year, and I’ve been struck unexpectedly. Since my last visit, the food has elevated massively (not that I was expecting it, so this was a nice surprise). Momo (our waiter) was super attentive and super friendly, and massive big-up (pardon my language) for the Iberico Wellington. It genuinely melted in my mouth, thank to Chef Marcos (who’s recipe it was) that came to our table at the end of our evening. If you don’t come to try the wellington, you’re missing out in life. Genuinely.

Love the ham croquettes but the chicken tighs on a tapenade were almost cold. Server did not offer to warm up .

Cozy place and yummy food. It's different for sure, but fun to try! We stopped in on a whim and it turned out well. Staff was very friendly and quick to serve. We had Huevos Rotos "Pisto"(Potato slices, 1 egg & chopped veggies), Pan de la Casa (bread & fancy butters), Lentejas Con Chorizo de Leon (chorizo soup, not pictured - ate it too quick!). Dessert: Arroz Con Leche (lightly sweet rice pudding with fruit stuff on top).

As a spanish guy, the place is very lame with expensive things that don't have an authentic spanish flavour

Overpriced and flavourless food. Avoid!

My 1st time eating tapas. I loved it. Food very good and so was the service. I will eat this food again. Unfortunately living miles away in Southend on sea, it probably won't be this excellent place. 4 stars because I have nothing to compare it with.

Came way before closing and they didn’t wanna serve us

Highly recommended place, very good food, good atmosphere and special mention to Andres the guy who served us, an excellent professional

Surprising for London, good food and variety, it is not 100% Spanish but it is pretty close. Hector was charming, he recommended us and treated us fabulously, we will repeat without a doubt

Great place for tapas. Very delicious Spanish tapas. The waiter Andrés was very pleasant and very attentive, excellent professional. I recommend it 100%

We have eaten at Tapa Brindisa in Soho a few times and has been outstanding, both service and food, so we decided to try the London Bridge for a small family get together over Xmas. Mid-afternoon on a Sunday and were shown straight to a table. The bench seating along the back wall was uncomfortable and the restaurant was a bit chilly to be comfortable (it struck me as odd that the staff were all wearing gilets). The service was rushed to the point that we were asked if we wanted to order some food as we were seated, which we didn't, we wanted to order some wine and water and look at the menu first. The wine came promptly but we had to ask three times for the water and eventually had a carafe delivered to the table, then another, and nearly a third but the waitress realised just before getting to us that we already had some! There didn't seem to be any organisation as to who was serving us as we were approached by a couple of different members of staff about ordering and finding ourselves repeating what we had just told the other member of staff. The food was excellent, came out quickly, as we had hoped and helped to make up for the chaotic start but don't think we would go back to this one again in a hurry and back to Soho next time - a more comfortable and relaxed vibe.

I was at this place on 12/31 to have dinner with my sister and niece who came from Portugal, I was surprised after we drank wine and had dinner, we were finishing the wine when the manager asked us to leave the place because he needed the table, and there was a couple at the next table longer than us and they didn't ask them to leave, I do not recommend this location

We were here twice, the service was perfect, attentive and helpful 👌🏻 the food was great, for me it was oversalted, but some people like it that way... Just the wine a little more expensive than elsewhere. Otherwise great :)

food is worse than the one in soho. All the food is super salty. Sourdough bread tastes like rubber - don’t even know how long have they left the bread for. Music is super loud compared to the one in soho. The atmosphere is just loud in general. The toilet is the WORST toilet I have ever used in London. Can’t imagine Brindisa would have such disgusting toilet. You can smell the urine the minute you walk in to the toilet and inside is really messy. Just go the one in soho not the London Bridge one. Really disappointed. Probably is opened to scam tourist

The Tapas Brindisa on London Bridge offers an excellent selection of tapas that taste great. The service is quick and attentive, and the quality of the food leaves nothing to be desired. However, the prices are quite high, so in our opinion the price-performance ratio is not entirely consistent.

Food was great but once I asked to take off service charge the waitress gave me my change in 10p denomination on purpose

didn’t feel welcome, service clearly wanted us to go because we just drank something and didn’t eat anything.

We came here with 3 adults and 2 under 1's, staff were super accommodating and friendly from start of our table waiting until we left - they really went out of the way to make us feel welcome and no request was an issue. Food was lovely and atmosphere felt really authentic.

How good to eat Spanish in London!! How good everything is... the croquettes of 10... Thank you Héctor for recommending me Olive ice cream: great!! Thank you Andrés for your attention and good work!!

I am well aware times have changed and Brindisa is not what it used to be, the food is still delicious, and there is where the positives ends, the waiting staff have interrupted our conversations countless times in the 2 hour catch up that I have with 2 of my dearest people with whom I have not shared a meal in a long time. We used to get together at Brindisa for many years and we were all more than happy to have conversations with the staff back then. Today we were basically rushed the entire time, when we ordered the pork belly the waiter decided it was “too fat” for us and that we would prefer the solomillo wellington instead, if you know of Spanish food or any food at all you’d know those are very different dishes, he “suggested” that dish not once but three times, of course we ended up not having either, so nobody won, shame. As I mentioned the food was delicious, but the prices and the lack of attention (please don’t ask me if I’m finished when I’m speaking and my friends are still eating, that’s just manners at their basics, guys) are not going to make me come back. Every glass and plate was almost removed just before being completely empty, and also there’s the universal cutlery code for “I’m finished”, if you and you’re boss don’t know it I’m sure you can google it) the bill was produced in front of us without request, and when I tried to pay I was rushed back onto my table making it really awkward for my guests and myself to witness. When we were getting ready to leave, the waiter was desperately standing next to my elderly friend who was taking her time to pick up her stuff. I said “you can certainly give us another minute” to which he replied through his teeth “yes of course” without moving a centimetre away. Awkward. Again. Manners. Again. Brindisa is no longer the pleasant chilled Spanish experience it used to be. Oh well, another reason to stay in, spend less, cook more and entertain friends the way they deserve: at home.

Momo’s service was outstanding, I come here often and I never had such good service!!!

Great recommendations from Elisa. Brilliant food

I ordered a small ham and in the end they charged me for a large ham and even insisted that it was the large one when I was looking at a larger one and there were only two size options lack of honesty

Very warm welcome with a good table and a lovely atmosphere with good service. Food far below standard of Barrafina. Spanish omelette served warm and was too oily with an unpleasant sauce. Patatas Bravas. covered in salt. Ham croquettes average. Non alcoholic cocktails overpriced. Kitchen need to check on what is coming out.

Hello!! Good night. Two weeks ago we were eating at this restaurant, everything was great and the waiters were great. We wanted to thank Andreu for everything. The prices are a bit high compared to other restaurants and with Spain.

Andrés had good service with us and made us have an excellent stay

Great evening and wonderful service from Andres!

Their service is very good, Android served us very well and in Spanish! :)

All the food was delicious and the staff was very lovely and friendly, especially Andres. I will definitely come back to try more dishes.

Tapas Brindisa at London Bridge is a fantastic spot for amazing Spanish food with exceptional service. We started with the tomato bruschetta, olives, and potatoes as appetizers. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I do wish the bruschetta was warm, but I believe it’s traditionally served cool. Either way, it was delicious! For our main dish, we shared the lamb shoulder (I can’t recall the exact name from the menu), and let me tell you—it was one of the best meats I’ve ever had in my life. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, it was truly unforgettable. If you go, don’t miss the lamb shoulder—it’s an absolute must-try! The highlight of our experience was the incredible staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, especially Mohamed, our waiter. He was extremely attentive and recommended the best dishes for us to try. He also suggested a fresh lemonade, and I’m so glad I went with his advice—it was out of this world! I highly recommend Tapas Brindisa. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Brindisa has excellent food and excellent waiters. A tad overpriced though. I highly recommend Arroz Negro and Wild Mushroom and Truffle Oil Croquettes.

Everything was very good and Andres' treatment was great 🥰

Great food and helpful staff - a big shout out to Momo who did a fantastic job and looked after us very well!

We came away with the charms of the place, quality food and luxury service, Andrés attended us

Fantastic meal here as a pivot from Borough Market when we realized that it wasn’t open on Monday. Excellent tapas and our server Andres was great!

We ate here on a Saturday evening. Service behind the bar was superb, a lovely lady talked me through a few wines to choose from. As is standard, we had to wait about 45 minutes for a table. We were given a table for 2 (we were a group of 3), so it was a tight squeeze but we let it go, and when the two ladies next to us finished up, we asked if we could add their table on to ours to make it a bit bigger. Food was very good, although the squid ink risotto was a bit disappointing. We were just about to order desserts and another bottle of wine, when we were told by the manager that we had exceeded our time limit and needed to settle up. Nobody had mentioned this when we sat down. We explained that we wanted to order more, but this fell on deaf ears. We paid and went next door to Bedales where we had much better service. We spent just shy of £300 and would have spent more, were it not for being pushed out. Won’t be back.

Inappropriately loud music during workday nights.

It was very nice Tapas .will definitely be going again. The service the food couldn't be faulted

Had a lovely time and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Andres, the waiter, was really kind and made such a good service. Definitely coming back soon

Great service, wonderful authentic Tapas

Comida muy cara y decepcionantemente básica. Dejado afuera en frío en mesas irregulares en una celebración de cumpleaños como mesa prometida adentro regalada dos veces. Pequeño lugar que el gerente no podía organizar - camarero hizo su mejor esfuerzo, pero no agradable víspera.

Extremely disappointing-spoit a birthday evening! Very overpriced for quality which was quite basic, had to sit outside on uneaven paving in the cold because our promised table inside was given away-twice. Waiter did his best but manager lost control of busy and very tiny venue. Much better tapas places in London-not recommended.

10 people for dinner, wine and food.

Very delicious food, Andrés's service is great, 100% recommended

Best tapas in London, absolutely delightful. Amazing wine list and the food it is so delish. Team is amazing they have high standard of service, and all delivered with a big smile. Highly recommended

Very nice place , the food was very amazing , as a spanish I could say that i feel like home , Andres was very helpful and friendly, he clear our thoughts when we ask about the recommendations , i will be back definetly :)

Nos atendieron de maravilla, el camarero Luis encantador, la comida muy buena. El mejor lugar en el que comimos en nuestro viaje

The food is quite good. Andres’s service was great.

Good food but big door wide open. In winter, it is eating in a fridge... Will not come back in autumn or winter. I said it was very cold to the management but it seems it was my problem.... People were keeping their coats and it was ~10C+ degrees that day... It is far from a restaurant feeling...if you want to be indoors but have the feeling to eat outside, it is the place to be...

Food and service by Andres was amazing, will definitely be back

We ate there this afternoon, after visiting the Borought Market. The truth is that it has been a total success. We tried the acorn-fed ham and the garlic prawns that the waiter recommended and the truth is that they were spectacular. Furthermore, the service has been very good, specifically I highlight Andrés, who was very attentive and friendly to us. It all adds up and of course, we will repeat on our next trip to London.

Dishes outrageously expensive ! Not recommended at all

I went last Monday and the place was lovely and the service from Andre's was amazing, he recommended the pluma iberica and was the best choice.

I loved the restaurant but I think it was a little expensive for the amount of food. Andrés attended to us and was incredibly kind to us! Always attentive and friendly, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Thank you Tapas Brindisa for having the best experience. What I liked the most was the tortilla española, croquetas jamón and huevos rotos con sobrasada. I wanted to thank Andres, especially, really kind, professional and helpful, the best waiter.

Good atmosphere and services, Andrés the best waiter of the day 🙏

Delicious Gambas al Ajillo, Croquetas de Jamon Great service provided by Luis. Really friendly and professional
