The best restaurants serving Spanish food in Dalston Hackney London

I’ve had some memorable banter with waiters in restaurants over the years, but “…AND DON’T EVER COME BACK, YOU RACISTS!” is unlikely to be superseded. Service was slow last night, and gradually disintegrated into full on dreadful (menus being taken away, no order being taken). Me and my husband finally placed an order, and the waitress returned five minutes later, barking with weird aggression: "no chicken, just beef or vegan." I asked for the menus again, and she walked away with a stage whisper of "JESUS CHRIST!" and rolled her eyes. So we said actually, we'll just pay for our drinks and leave, because… rude. The waitress then LOST IT: “Well, I don’t like YOUR attitude! YOU are the ones who have been rude – you’ve been REALLY CONDESCENDING.” We were taken aback, and asked politely and precisely how we had been condescending. "Hey, I GAVE you a menu!" she offered, then really went off on one. She was clearly having… a moment/meltdown. So we stood up and said that after that spectacular verbal assault, we were going immediately and weren't going to pay for the drinks either. As we headed for the door she shouted “…AND DON’T EVER COME BACK… YOU RACISTS!” So I turned back and said "WOAH!! WHAT!!?? WHAT DID YOU SAY!!?" She wouldn't say it again, and when I asked for the manager, she shouted “YOU WANT ME TO GET MY PHONE OUT AND GIVE YOU MY MANAGER’S NUMBER!? YOU REALLY THINK I’M THAT STUPID!!? GET OUT.” I have never left a restaurant actually SHAKEN. (And certainly never been called, totally randomly, racist, which was ringing in my ears for hours). I've been going to Viva Dalston for years and used to really like it. But now it will always just be The Place With THAT Waitress where THE THING HAPPENED

Pedí un paquete de comida de Pascua para alguien que vive cerca. No estaba seguro de cuáles eran algunos de los artículos que se ofrecían, o cuál iría mejor con qué: recibí consejos muy útiles, bien informados y amigables por teléfono y pude hacer un pedido adecuado. La comida y el vino se entregaron dentro de las tres horas posteriores a la realización del pedido. Los informes de los destinatarios sugieren que todo fue excelente. Estaré ordenando desde aquí nuevamente. (Debido al bloqueo actual, no tenían muchas cosas frescas que pudieran entregar, pero ofrecían una excelente selección de quesos españoles, una deliciosa selección de embutidos y salchichas, latas interesantes y diferentes de pescados y mariscos, y la selección 'habitual' de aceitunas, tapenades, etc. Parece que también tienen una selección de vinos muy interesante. )
