The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Spanish food

A wonderful experience! Amazing food, friendly staff, good seating and excellent beer; what more could you want? Dishes that might sound quite ordinary on the menu, such as the hummus and pitta bread I had for a starter, were extraordinary in their execution. I have never seen a pretty plate of hummus before!! I'm not usually a beer/lager drinker (apart from Harp), but Niall gave me excellent advice and I went on to have two pints of what he suggested! (There is also a 'taster' option of 3 small glasses of beer if like me you are having trouble deciding what to drink.) Don't let the fact that the restaurant is situated on the quieter side of Derry put you off! It is worth every extra step you have to make. Outstanding value too!

Food was good but service was fast food restaurant standard. I have been here a few times and used to like it, hence coming back with my friends, but definitely not going back again. Booked a table for six people on a Thursday night, well aware in advance the booking is only for two hours, absolutely no problem. A couple of friends arrived late due to traffic but we didn’t wait, we ordered food and drinks first. Waitress felt it was necessary to remind us the booking was only for two hours every 20 mins with the manager on the night kept checking when the other two guests in the group arrive with an attitude. The bill landed on the table 1.5 hrs into the booking, 30 mins short of the booking, without us asking and by the said manager with a poker face. Such a shorted sighted approach for the business. Yes it was lucky enough to be busy on that night (not the same when I visited previously) and they felt that they could kiss off their guests with such poor service. That’s how restaurants loose their returning customers. Such a shame, the previous serving team was much more professional. If you are not looking for a fast food restaurant at this price point and want to enjoy your meal, definitely not recommended.

Popped in to find they had a all you can eat tapas Menu on all dishes tasted really nice great service and most probably go back next ti.e we are in the area. Highly recommended.

I am starting my review with the following statement that gets added to the bill so reviewers can see how this restaurant operates without having to read the full review ' 10% TIPS INCLUDED - FOR PARTIES OF 1 OR LARGER,  10% GRATUITITY IS APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPEAK TO THE MANAGER' We had 4 tapas and some bread and also ordered a bottle of wine. We asked for a bottle of Rioja that was listed on the menu but we were told that was not available, so we moved to the one above it instead. We waited for our wine but then we were informed by our waiter that instead he could offer us a different red and that it would be £40 (approx.)  I said well the wine I ordered was around the £30 mark and didn't really want to pay £40 - mainly because I am not sure why the customer should have to fork out an extra £10 because they cannot locate the wines they have listed on their menu. He informed me that he would knock the service charge off the bill. I thought this is strange because we are only a table of 2 people, why would there be a service charge? Thankfully one of his colleagues located the bottle of wine we had ordered and the issue was resolved. Our food arrived and we must say, it really was mediocre. The gambas were incredibly expensive for the size of the portion and the size of the prawns. When the bill came we could see that they had added a 10% service charge with the statement on the receipt ' 10% TIPS INCLUDED - FOR PARTIES OF 1 OR LARGER,  10% GRATUITY IS APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPEAK TO THE MANAGER' What a strange approach and way to manage tips - tips SHOULD be discretionary, not mandated. Tips should be left based on the service received and the dining experience. Secondly, stating that 'for tables of 1 or more' automatic tips are applied,  you cannot get tables of less than 1 so basically this restaurant is stating that all diners will have this automatic tip applied. Would  we have left 10% for the food and service received , no we wouldn't have done. Will we be back or recommend this restaurant? No we will not.

Lovely place to go for a meal. Food was amazing.

Pros: Great location, pretty, dark and cosy decor. Service was good and attentive. Tip: Request a table downstairs or in the back room upstairs. Front room upstairs is a bit crowded and noisy and very dark! I had to use my torch to check the colour of my food as everything looked grey and unappetising in the low lighting. Cons: The food was disappointing, wide selection of dishes but some of which were not overly authentic and some dishes came out colder than they should have. Most dishes lacked flavour and either tasted and or looked like frozen party food. Overall it was just ok, and neither of us said we would return.

Very nice place, friendly and cheap

Superlative food in very re l aced atmosphere

We decided to visit for our wedding anniversary whilst staying in Keswick. I was so pleased to find it had a dog-friendly room - it was perfect! The service was great, loved the ticking system, although we did over order and maybe should have seen how we got on first and then ordered extra. I had a lovely tequila cocktail and my husband had a beer. The food was really good, we particularly enjoyed the quesadillas, meatballs and patatas bravas. It made a real change from the usual pub food, and was very dog friendly. We ate early as we could only get an early table and it was a Friday, so you definitely need to book.

Something tempted me to pop in to Meson La Pepa last Saturday lunchtime. I was the only person dining to start with but it quickly got busy. Three very good portions of tapas: tortilla, patatas bravas and tostada de queso de cabra. Fast; friendly service; excellent price - £13. Money very well spent and a great introduction to Huddersfield.

Nice vibe place with a good playlist. Love finding happy hour time that actually works. Already planning return here with friends

We called in for breakfast, a great choice on the menu,I went for the shakshouka and my wife chose the finch breakfast both were delicious, got to call in again to try the later menu

Well where to start.. Confirmed booking made earlier in the week for a couple to have a relaxing Saturday night meal. On arrival at the restaurant we were unable to open the door, looked closer and the lights were out and the blinds closed. No contact from the restaurant to let us know they were closed, nor a reply to my subsequent email asking what had happened. Let alone an apology... Luckily we were able to go to the Tapas Bar on Bondgate to be greeted by friendly staff who managed to find a table for us in short order and we were served excellent food. So for anyone considering Sol Tapas - give it a miss and go to the Tapas Bar instead!

The most authentic tapas bar, amazing food, excellent friendly staff, you won't be disappointed

Came here for an evening out just the 2 of us. Booked last minute but got a table for 2 ok. The restaurant was busy with a large party but our order of tapas came out in good time. Every dish was delicious and tasty. Have been a few times before but not recently. The food didn’t disappoint we will be back.
