Some of our press

Read what the critics have said about our fabulous Tapas.

"A newly revamped contender to its frenetic Borough Market parent, the Soho offshot of renowned Spanish food importer Brindisa has bright-red-and-white walls, a cafe-like vibe & friendly staff. On a Saturday night, the atmosphere is "very enjoyable", "buzzy & noisy" with a young Soho crowd sorging on Brindisa classics of Spanish charcuterie, tortilla & pulpo a la gallega. A section of the menu revolves around the kitchen’s grill - try the celebrated Spanish cut of pork, presa Iberica."

"We tried it, we loved it, especially the Brindisa croquetas and the bombas at Brindisa as well as the lovely wines"

“This would be a sad island to live on if it were not for Brindisa’s Monika Linton, who has been bringing the best Spanish ingredients to our tables for 20 years....match interesting food with interesting wines...and see what a good chef can do with the some of the best produce from Spain.”
Terry Durack, the Independent, 2008


“As well as that ham, served the right side of room temperature, we very much liked the jamón croquettes....This is bad food for good people....The anchovies - six of them - came with a salad of baby gem lettuce and roasted red peppers...On the meaty side there was, of course, an impeccable piece of grilled chorizo dribbling its crimson juices into the toast below, a couple of chargrilled lamb chops which demanded expert bone nibblage, and a tender quail with sweet, autumnal fruits....We finished with fresh figs, the colour of a new bruise, swamped by an avalanche of crema catalana, then blowtorched to give it the requisite caramelised shell. Best of all were tablets of bitter Rovira chocolate melting on to thin toast and dressed with olive oil and salt, served alongside a scoop of bright, fresh orange sorbet. A few weeks ago, after my Alice in Wonderland experience at El Bulli, I craved simplicity. I was taken by a friend to a top place in Barcelona for tapas. It was, as you would expect, very good. But better than Tierra Brindisa? No, not particularly. And it was certainly more expensive. Take that as a recommendation.”
Jay Rayner, Observer 2008
