The best restaurants serving Spanish food in Richmond upon Thames London

We stumbled in off the street after a day walking the Thames; although essentially fully booked they rearranged tables to fit us in. Five tapas dishes between us, plus sweet potato fries, were produced swiftly. This was a good amount of food! Our favourite was the aubergine closely followed by the baked goat’s cheese. Lots of vegan/ gluten-free options were available. Our fabulous server AJ (who turned out to be a manager working occasional shifts) eventually divulged the secret to the aubergines, crispy on the outside, melting on the inside, doused with sticky date molasses. You’ll have to go yourself and charm your own server to find out! AJ treated us to glasses of delicious Pedro Ximenez to accompany our dessert (vegan raspberry chocolate torte, yes please) and then since we got chatting also introduced us to Liquor 43. We loved this place for the fresh ingredients, ambience and top-notch service.

Nice bar for tapas, wine and sherry. Small and cozy.
