The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Spanish food

Ive been visiting Pablo’s over the last 2 years whilst on business and have frequently enjoyed having tapas and a cold beer. However the last 2 occasions in recent months have left me underwhelmed so unlikely to return. I had to return my accompanying bread as it was burnt (black), or “lightly toasted”according to a chef/waiter who brought it out. No apology and who has toast with tapas? The fillet steak has always been one of most favourite dishes but the portion size now does not justify the cost. Not the worst but not that great anymore which is a real shame.

Great after dinner experience. We shared 6 tapas dishes which were are perfectly cooked. Our server James was attentive to all our requirements. Will be back again

Gone down hill, sadly. Rarely open, no food, no staff, no vibe. Hopefully, it will soon change hands again. Currently, it is seemingly shut down.

Bit of bizarre experience. Attended at 8:30pm on holiday weekend to check if there was a table available. Female waitress asked if we booked and as we hadn't she stated they had no room and a full sitting was due despite the fact there was dozens of tables free. This was strange as they had entertainment and I couldn't believe 70 people were about to attend. We got a take away elsewhere and looked back later in to find none of the tables had been taken as the waitress had stated. It was abundantly clear she lied about the next 9pm sitting. She looked shocked when we popped our head in again as we all knew it was not true. It's their restaurant and up to them when to accept customers but I feel this was not a manager just a lazy waitress getting rid of customers so she can have an earlier home time. Next day we attended at midday and pretty empty and got a table and had lovely cocktails and food. Would highly recommend this restaurant (as long as you are not greeted by the lazy and inexperienced hostess who doesn't care about customers or if the owners make money) The following day we tried to get a delivery stated on website they provide but not only do they not deliver they turned down us collecting food as well. Great place and great food but if I was the owner I would be horrified a couple of staff turn down trade so easily.

I was thinking long how would I describe this restaurant as a person who has lived in Spain for years and has a Spanish partner. The concept of Spanish cuisine, especially as tapas , the flavors and ingredients didn’t carry out the outcome of fine dining experience that we were expecting. The atmosphere and service were dull and with the price of the à la carte the experience was disappointing. I’ve visited a lot of Spanish restaurants in London and Ealing that offered much better quality and service price wise .

Lovely staff and nice ambiance. Tapas were average. Wine flight was good though.

We went this evening for Tapas Tuesday (we’ve been a few times before) The place was pretty busy as they’d had lots of walk ins however this did not faze the staff at all! Services was impeccable as always and food was amazing. Well done James, Izzy, Michael and Ethan you all worked so hard this evening! (we promise to book next time 😊)

Whenever my daughter visits the cool part of London she always insists we go here for lunch. Great, authentic tapas, friendly service.

We went for Christmas dinner and thoroughly enjoyed a tremendous menu, beautifully presented in a friendly environment.

Fui con amigos un viernes por la noche. Muy ocupado. Pedimos pan de ajo, champiñones y anchoas para empezar. Seguido de platos de pollo y patatas

The good: Excellent food with a great choice of Spanish beers. Nice place and a nice ambience. The not so good: What did disappoint was the service and that was felt by the majority of our party. We were a large group on a long table. A lot of the dishes came at once ( felt like a food explosion) the staff didn’t distribute the dishes evenly on the table. One end of the table got the prawns while the other end didn’t even know they existed. Likewise, the Chorizo dishes and cheese board were all lumped in one area We also felt rushed, which is not what we expected with a Tapas meal, it was everything but a relaxing experience. Yes it was a busy Saturday afternoon, but that shouldn’t be our problem, it was a 2 hour booking and no need to hurry. Hard to justify top ratings, had the service reflected the expectation and quality of the food then my scoring may have been higher. I have no qualms about going back, so hopefully this review will be seen as constructive rather than a moan and whinge.

Dinner here last night with a friend. Probably the best tapas I’ve ever had. Some superb wines and sherry on the menu too: we had a bottle of Spanish Gewurtztraminer, which was a first for me. Friendly service :-) Great experience :-)

This was a bit of a unusual Sunday roast/fish lunch mash up! I like the fish option but still got all the Sunday roast trimmings!!! An absolute smasher of a Sunday lunch. Btw, THE best roast potatoes in Bristol at the moment!!!

Very good atmosphere, Spanish food and tapas, good prices and good beer, excellent service.

We were very much looking forward to come back here as we used to go regularly. It used to be rustic, relaxing and great tapas. The whole experince was chaotic as one waiter desperately tried to throw out food that was overcooked, dry and with zero love put in. To fail with such basic dishes and then charge 10 pounds per plate is a disgrace. When we complianed about a dish the staff just shrugged their shoulders with a smile and a knowing look before taking it away. No owner or manager in sight. Such a shame!
