Tapas Brindisa Soho in City of London, Westminster

I think is the only place where you pay a good amount of money and they tell you “ we don’t clean the prawns/shrimps here” Honestly for a place like this is not acceptable. Management is bad too. But waitress was nice. Never back again.

Really enjoyed the food and friendly service. You must try Arroz Negro(Squid ink black rice). Unfortunately I didn’t try Paella seafood because they are off the menu. We will definitely come back.

Fantastic dinner for a date night!! Food was the best delicious tapas we had ever had!! The waiting staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough for us and our drinks and plates were served up and removed very quickly!! We will million percent come back. Amazing little gem which we just stumbled upon as we live and work in London.

It said on google that they closed at 00:00, but when we arrived at 22:30, they said they were closed.

Loved it! Was quite pricey with wine too but well worth the money. All dishes were very tasty and lots of options for vegetarians (and some completely plant based)

Tortilla and gambas were delicious!

We had to make a reservation because it was Saturday. It is a busy place. But worth it. The food and staff were amazing. One of our favorite meals in London!

If you’re a Brit you’ll love it. If you’re a Spaniard and know what real Spanish food is like, avoid it like the plague. Ridiculously expensive for a food that has such low quality it would make your grandma cringe. Just travel to Spain (probably the north) it’s not that expensive, the food is a million times better than these sub-products. The Spanish Omelet alone is an insult to our country, dry, tasteless and far too thick. In fairness the staff were friendly, very helpful and courteous.

Excellent tapas, wine and service.

Wonderful tapas bar. The food was really tasty especially the Ensalada De Tomate and the Croquetas De Jamon. I can recommend both as well as the refreshing Cava sangria. I complement the service it was excellent. All in all a wonderful experience.

This place is underrated. Five stars deserved.

We were in a rush and the food came immediately! Really nice hostess, really good food. Definitely recommend going here !!

I went here with my Colombian friend who's lived in Spain for years so knows a good Tapa when they see one! We both thought the food (especially the Gambas al Ajillo and Pollo) was excellent. The staff were super friendly and all in all, good value for money for central London. Cute restaurant with a lovely atmosphere even as things were starting to wind down on a Sunday evening. I'd highly recommend.

Fantastic meal with lovely service. All 3 that served us were great but the happiness of the Hungarian girl made the evening for us. The food was excellent, particularly the tortilla - we spend a lot of time in Spain and the tastes here reminded us of a few places in Sevilla. We particularly enjoyed the selection of 500ml carafes of decent red wine, probably a bit too much.

Amazing!! The food was absolutely delicious but the best thing has been the service! We had the pleasure to be served by a girl called Tess where with her great attitude and energy she made this lunch absolutely perfect. To come back!

My team and I spent a wonderful evening at Brindisa Soho. Fantastic food, service and ambience. Particularly enjoyed the cheese croquettes and the cauliflower/kale and the prawns. Yummy. Wonderful attentive friendly service. Thank you so much. Can't wait to return

so so so good, great service, great atmosphere! would highly recommend

Overall, everything was very tasty. I didn’t particularly like the Russian salad; it was a bit sour, but I suppose that’s just the recipe, and it’s a matter of personal preference. The octopus was a bit tough. But everything else was excellent.

Very good Spanish restaurant, impeccable service, they gave us a beer while they set the table... A Spanish flavor in the heart of London, I would return without thinking.

They close at 11:30pm but at 9:45pm they couldn't seat me on a table because their kitchen was already closed.

All the staff were very nice! Also, the gambas and peppers were delicious. They were a little bit expensive, but I'll be back next time.

Just went here with my sister and had such a lovely time. We were served by a bubbly, friendly waitress that made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. She recommended the rosé sangria which we got and it was delish. All tapas were great but for me nothing beats jamon Iberico, which they do serve and was great quality. The pan con tomat, and the cauliflower was also great. Looking forward to going back.

Very cosy place. The food is great and the service is amazing! A bit pricy but deserves the money.

Certainly! Here is the review for Brindisa Soho: "I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brindisa Soho and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. What truly set this dining experience apart was the impeccable service we received. Our waitress, KD, not only provided exceptional service but also brought a delightful sense of humor to the table, making our visit all the more enjoyable. Her knowledge of the menu and her friendly demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend Brindisa Soho to anyone looking for a culinary gem in the heart of Soho. With its outstanding food, inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service, this restaurant is a must-visit for any food enthusiast. I will definitely be returning to enjoy more of their culinary delights."

Far too expensive. Found hair in my food. And all dishes were unseasoned

Excellent food. Everything prepared well and full of flavour. The only minor comment would be about the sardines. They were cooked perfectly but didn't have much flavour in themselves. Loved the chocolate mousse dessert. We had a beer or two each and it ended up at almost exactly £50 a head (two of us dining), so not the cheapest. Service was prompt and friendly. I would recommend a visit.

Tastes of the foods are good. But the portions are small associating with the price. We are only two people, but spent £110+. Recommend the meat tapas, salad portion is too small.

Food quantity and prices are definitely not compatible with each other. The price for these dishes is unnecessarily expensive

Excellent place to eat and drink, we chanced on the Soho restaurant. The waiter kush, was excellent in his knowledge of food and drink. The food was fantastic, drinks brilliant. Id happily return and recommend the cocktail Mediterranean Breeze.

Owner is kind of a jerk, otherwise great.

Had a lovely dinner here. We didn’t have e reservation so we sat at the bar which was lovely. Highly recommend the cauliflower and the croquettes.

If you’re expecting tapas like you will get in San Sebastián, Madrid, Bilbao or Seville you won’t !! Probably the worst Spanish tapas I have ever had !! Appalling food..

Regular visitor the food and service are top class

Nice tapas menu, good quality food at reasonable prices although the squid with black rice did lack squid for the price charged. Also note default 13.5% service charge. I would definitely recommend and return.

I am spanish and been living in London for over a decade. This place has slowly become my favourite spanish place in town!

We had a good time and enjoyed a vegetable paella and spinach croquettes. The staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you guys!

Great restaurant - friendly and knowledgeable front of house staff; superb food (especially the pork), great wine and efficient (but not rushed) service. The restaurant is in a vibrant part of Soho and the atmosphere in the restaurant, and the surrounding area, is always friendly. Perfect for a pre-theatre meal.

Had an amazing meal here, we came in slightly early and they were extremely accommodating. The service was very quick and all the servers were extremely attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable on the dishes. We shared 5 dishes between 2, the jamon croquetas, fried goat cheese, pan con tomate, arroz negra and huevos rotos, all fo which was delicious but the goat cheese definitely stood out.

The food was quick and delicious, especially the octopus and the "cheesecake". The service was the only downside, had to chase/ repeat our drinks to the waitress and we felt uncomfortable when a man in a suit ( I assume the manager) kept rushing us to order the dessert and kept telling us that they booked a table after us and we had to go outside to finish out drinks. Overall fantastic food but left with a sour note because of this incident.

Brindisa never disappoints, fast and efficient service, food is great. Highly recommended

A lovely experience at Brindisa Soho, as always! Fabulous hospitality and the food was delicious. We had an early booking and the team looked after us brilliantly. We completely lost track of time catching up and when our table was needed for another party we were offered a seat at the bar to finish our food and drinks. Thank you and we'll be back very soon!

Loved our visit, authentic delicious happy friendly staff :)

The fried goat cheese was really delicious. The butter for the bread was infused with herbs, which was very aromatic. Croquetas were very good, so was the seafood paella.

Nice on way in but service impossibly slow. Apologised for forgetting to process the order then claimed to have run out of food because it was a Sunday even though the next table ordered the same after us and received it. Generously offered a discount then tried to charge service!

Oh my goodness me! What a fantastic place! The food is exceptional! Service great- staff attentive. Will come here again… what a find!

Really lovely staff and great food

Spectacular Spanish food. The croquetas de jamón might be the best dish and among the best I've had, the gambas al ajillo and chorizo were also fantastic, and the torta de queso was also very good.

Super friendly and attentive staff, great food. Quite loud but enjoyed our time there.

Good ambience. Very good and authentic Spanish food. Don’t miss the paella marinara (Spanish seafood rice) - well cooked and delicious. It can be busy and packed during peak hours.

Delish food, lovely busy restaurant good buzz. Service by Josh was warm friendly and he was super knowledgeable of the menu, could not fault!

We walked in and had an amazing Dinner. I am vegetarian and my husband loves seafood, and there was a lot to choose from. We had the patatas bravas (delicious and crispy), Cauliflower (a hit, we’ve never had something like this!), Chickpeas (lovely cream), tortilla española (well done, just like I love it!). My husband also had the crabs and gambas and enjoyed them very much! Our waiter Luis was super attentive and friendly and helped us pick the right wine, which made our experience even better. Thank you!

Sunday Father's Day I went to dinner with my partner and I can say that everything was impeccable. Exquisite food, the attention of Luis the waiter was very good and his recommendations on food and wine were very accurate, always attentive and the food always arrived on time and the service of the Kitchen was fast within the waiting time. I would return 1000 times more

Great food and service. However they add a 13.5% Service charge to the bill.

It was a very nice place to have a dinner. Foods was great and everyone was really nice

Wow. Seafood paella was awesome! All tapas were perfect! I wish I had this at home. Service was ok. Lively atmosphere. Come for the food, great experience.

Yesterday Wed 12th June, my wife and I ate in this restaurant for the first time. And now, for the first time ever, I feel compelled to write review about a UK restaurant... Good food but poor service. Staff not very attentive. They forgot one of the portions, then questioned why we needed olive oil with the bread (because my wife is lactose intolerant). Later on, the manager started clearing the whole table before we had finished. We felt 'rushed' and also there was no offer of desserts/coffee. Very disappointing!

The goat’s cheese is just delicious, even for someone like me who doesn’t like goat’s cheese. And padron peppers, sautéed pork shoulder, prawns in garlic oil, and the black paella are also very good. We even got a complimentary cake for our little birthday party. But I think it’d be nicer if the bread was accompanied by olive oil vinegar like it used to be, than the current butter/mayo. This is a popular restaurant, so booking in advance can secure a spot for a fun meal.

We had a wonderful visit to Brindisa. We sat in the window to watch the world go by (and to chat to our window neighbours) and enjoyed great food and drinks (lots of drinks!). The prawns are possibly the very best thing on the menu - make sure to get some bread to mop up the delicious olive oil and garlic once you're done with them, it would be a crime to waste it. The jamon croquetas are wonderfully rich and creamy and the manchego is perfectly salty and crumbly (though the portion could perhaps be a little larger). Service from Josh was excellent - really friendly and fun. We have visited before and we will be back again (though maybe we'll have fewer digestifs next time)

Thanks to the lovely spanish lady, I believe she's the manager, for accommodating us on a Sunday night, table initially for 5 but ended up being 7, literally 3 minutes before kitchen closed and she managed to put our order through as a superhero!! Food came out super quick, had some tasty Estrella Galicia and a great Vega Sicilia Unico 2012, what else could you ask for?! Great service!

We love it in here. Fab little find with a welcoming ambience and delicious food! Best way to spend a couple of hours with friends

Walked in at 10:25pm local time on a busy Saturday night on 1Jun2024 in SoHo with door open and dozens diners dining inside, however, upon walk-in, the restaurant manager/receptionist stood up and told me on my Asian-looking face - I’m sorry sir, we are closed, although both signs and store marked information clearly stated that the restaurant is open until 12am local time. This restaurant is fully of racial profiling with blatant racial discrimination practice in the so-called world top-tier global famous city of London. Shameless.

The food was excellent; however, it was overpriced and they added a 13% service fee to bring out 5 dishes to a party of three. We dined there for 30 minutes.

Brindisa offers an authentic taste of Spain with top-quality ingredients and delicious dishes. The food, from "Huevos Rotos" to "Gambas al Ajillo", is fresh and beautifully presented. The cosy, inviting atmosphere and attentive staff create a delightful dining experience. A visit to Brindisa is a must for Spanish cuisine lovers!

The food in amazingly good, the service is incredibly bad. They really need to enhance their customer service skills

Snuck in for a cheeky tapas meal without planning to do so, but it was a very nice experience. 3pm so lunch was well over and only a few people in there. We had soft shell crab, chorizo, bravas, gambas al pil pil and some clams in garlic which all was really tasty. Service was very friendly and quick and the beer was really cold, perfect for us. The bill came to £80 with service however you can eat for half that between two if you don’t choose the more expensive tapas on the menu! Enjoy and you’re welcome!

Food was excellent and also was the service with the exception of the male waiter with short curly hair who upon my request of a glass of Verdejo, looked confused and then repeated Verdejo with the correct pronunciation of the word. Following this while behind me, he was ridiculing me to his colleague for not pronouncing the word properly multiple times and laughing. Really soured a brilliant experience. I had the croquettes, pan con tomate and huevos rotos which were all great along with the service by the three other staff it made for a lovely meal but this experience left me uncomfortable and frankly annoyed.

The food is good but the quantity is ridiculous and the price is excessive. Three croquettes almost £8. I understand that prices in the area may be high but the quantity is also greater than this place. Without a doubt I will neither repeat nor recommend it to anyone.

Okay food good atmosphere.. still haven't found a very good Spanish place in London 🥲

Nice tapas place with friends and family, seatings are comfortable, of course food are delicious.

The food was okay and but small portion sizes even for tapas standard. The staff were really pushy with their expensive bottled water, we told them we just want to see the menu first and they said okay and then came back 10 seconds later asking if we want still or sparkling water, or giving us the option for tap water. Their pricey water wasn't even listed on the menu. Probably wouldn't return.

First time at Brindisa yesterday. Very tasty tapas served swiftly. Josh behind the bar friendly and helpful even giving us a complimentary sherry with our dessert. Will definitely return.

Service absolutely faultless and the GM Josh exceptional, great front of house work and got behind the bar to pitch in making cocktails. Good great, ambience great, I’ll be back

Hi ! We are the 3 french that came monday 8th because of the bbc Sherlock show, We had a wonderful time, we wanted to thanks the waitress because we were very well recieved !

Used to be one of my favourite restaurants in London, had my last birthday in the private room in Brindisa battersea which was great and I always recommend Brindisa to friends. Some of the food this time was not as good as usual. A few pieces of seafood in the paella tasted quite strongly like chlorine. We told the waitress (who was lovely and not at fault), as we just wanted to let her know — maybe the dish wasn’t rinsed properly after cleaning, or I’ve read that defrosting seafood for too long under tap water can cause the taste. The manager came over 5 minutes later saying he tasted it and there was nothing wrong with it but said to the waitress “you can give them a free coffee”. Meh!

We were in London with family and decided to return to Brindisa - a place we've enjoyed many times. We weren't sure they'd be able to fit 6 of us in at short notice but lucky for us - a cancellation occurred soon after we arrived and we got a table for 2 hours. We tried loads of things on the menu, including regular favourites and some new dishes from the seasonal menu. All good. The salt cod and piquillo peppers, and the black rice are amaaaazing!! Service was excellent and friendly - this is one of our favourite places to eat in London.

The food and service were excellent. The manager Josh was superb making it a great visit.

Not much on the menu I liked and had the tortilla which was small and over oily. Patatas bravas had too much garlic mayo on which ruined them

Our waitress was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was INCREDIBLE. Everything we ordered was outstanding. The atmosphere was really good, listening to the general chit chat noise of other guests and just a slight whisper of music in the background. Honestly wouldn't change a thing. Well maybe that I could have fitted more food in because there was still more on the menu I would love to try. Next time!

Came there second time and will return

Food is great. Sangria is also very good.

Really nice little Tapas place. The squid and blue cheese croquettes were very good as was the burnt cheesecake. The rest of the food was decent without being exceptional. Service very good - one of the waiting staff knocked water over us (which was not a big deal) and was so apologetic and offered us free dessert. A perfect way to deal with these sort of incidents. Will go back

Located in soho with a lovely decoration. The environment of the restaurant is very nice. Food are all reasonably priced. The pork belly is the best dish out of the 6 i had. The pork is pan fried, with little crispness, and it is slow cook? Its very tender. The sauce also brings extra flavour to the pork belly and the colour, combination of the dish is almost perfect. Black rice is also nice, but slightly watery. Lamb shoulder is a slight disappointment given by the price, it is the most expensive dishes we ordered (£18), but given by the portion, taste, it does not match my expectation. Presentation is good, except the lamb shoulder, it just taste like kebab meat with lamb shoulder in it but not shredded meat. Fried baby squid is delicious, perfect snack, and it does feel like fresh? Patatas bravas is crispy, potato is fully of flavour, the sauce is just right. The croquette is freshly fried, very hot, not oily. Overall deserve a second visit and i enjoyed the meal.

Staff very friendly, great environment and food is delicious! I recommend it

Absolutely fantastic, authentic food, made from the highest quality ingredients. Pleasant, professional service, and very reasonable prices. With the one caveat that our table was the size of a folded postage stamp, we loved it.

Impeccable welcome, great food and buzzing vibe always. A gently warmed Gran Duque rounds off the Spanish experience perfectly.

Gorgeous tapas dishes & friendly staff

Great meal, great cocktails and lovely service - wonderful evening.

Superb tapas and great value. Decent wine selection too

Delicious Spanish Dishes, Friendly Staffs and atmosphere is Cosy..!

I understand some restaurants still impose time limits on diners. I tend not to knowingly go to those places. But, like this place, if you elect to impose a time limit, please remind diners of this practice as they sit down instead of coming over and telling us five minutes "before we need the table back". And if you need the table back, please don't serve a second bottle of wine that we will not be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time. And, most certainly, do not offer the option of finishing the wine at an outdoor table in February. That's not hospitable. Decent patatas bravas, though...

Really enjoyed our dinner here for a larger group. They were accommodating at short notice and really friendly. Everything was delicious…the jamon bellota melted in your mouth and the special steak was so so succulent I’m craving it again. Staff were attentive, professional and very efficient. Probably my favourite branch

We visited that place. Everything, especially Juan was brilliant :) We liked the food and the service so much that we surely decided to visit again. Thanks for that amazing Spanish dinner.

-- Sandy, gritty paelle, the mussels had not been rinsed. -- Squid devoid of squid, a pile of crispy batter with max 2 meat items. -- Kicked to the pavement without warning (during winter) shortly after ordering a bottle of wine and dessert. If you have a 90 minute table turnaround tell me when I rrive, tell me when I order new items. Don't tell me it's mentioned in small print confirmation message. Will never be back to this chain.

Great tapas and drinks, would go again in a heart beat. Service was top notch

Had a great night. Served by Hannah it was her second shift. Very attentive and friendly. Let us know all the specials, made our evening! Thank you Hannah!

Amazing food and great wines. Josh was well versed and we loved the Spanish wine we tried. We had the beef main dish and it was delicious. Also croquettes too. So good. We loved everything. We will be back. Worth a visit when in Soho.

First time to this resraurant and cannot fault it. Wow. Service excellent, food v good, value for money. Josh was courteous and attentive very informative and made our visit pleasurable. Would highly recommend this small intimate resraurant.

The best thing was Josh's excellent treatment. Pleasant atmosphere.

Very authentic tapas. Fantastic flavours and beautiful presentation of food. The restaurant is quiet small and had a really good atmosphere. Staff and service very good. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.
