Vela Brasserie in City of London, Westminster

Firstly we enjoyed the Happy Hour but when it came to us having a glass of red wine, we were shocked when the bill was produced at £22 a glass for an ordinary red.

I found this hidden gem and visited with my boyfriend. Had lovely authentic Argentinian food with a lovely vibe. Had two cocktails on the side and all at a good price.

Came here for dinner with a couple friends and we were all so impressed with the service here. The second we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and were looked after straight away. The food we ordered was delicious!!! Literally the flavours were incredible. Please try the steak if you come here, you will not regret! Overall, was a great experience and will definitely come back very soon!

I add a wonderful dinner at Vela brasserie ! The food was absolutely amazing !! Please try the empanadas ! Lovely staff, lovely atmosphere I would recommend to anyone if you would like to try Argentinian food !

The food here is INCREDIBLE! I was really impressed with the quality of the food and the staff here were lovely ♥️ Definitely recommend checking Vela Brasserie out! I’ll be popping in for an empanada on the daily 😍

Loved it. Came here on spec but really enjoyed our meal. Service was friendly and efficient and the steak and aubergine parmigiana tasty and filling. Will come again next time we’re in the area.

I visited this restaurant for a team dinner, and the food, drinks and service were all first class. First the starters: Empanadas were a special of the day and were some of the best I ever had. We also had garlic prawns (yum!), calamari and focaccia which were all excellent as well. I had the ribeye steak, which was one of the best I have had in London. Definitely up there with some of the high end steak houses. The burgers also looked great and all were served with crunchy chips. The food was great, all clearly made with the best ingredients, and portions were big, so couldn't manage to try the desserts. As for drinks, I had a negroni and a glass of red which were both really good. The service was also top notch, very friendly and efficient. It's in a really convenient location, close to Paddington station. Definitely a place to check out!
