What the critics think
A selection of press in praise of our Tapas.
"An old potato warehouse in Borough Market is home to one of London’s most authentic tapas bars.....a natural showcase for Brindisa’s award-winning cheeses, cured meats and preserves such as olives and roast piquillo peppers, but there’s proper cooking here too: a choice of tortillas, ham croquettes, oxtail stew, palourde clams with bacon and capers, deep-fried Monte Enebro goats’ cheese with orange blossom honey ... The wine list is entirely Spanish and includes five-or-so sherries, plus cavas of course... An appealing bar and waiting list for dining room tables help create a buzzing atmosphere."
Jenny Muir, Simon Seeks website, November 2010
"There was a different kind of buzz at Tapas Brindisa...the buzz of a bar-restaurant full of people really happy to be there."
Edward Schneider, Washington Post, 2008
"Graze on an assortment of dishes that showcase top-notch ingredients sourced by Spanish importer Brindisa - intensely flavoured jamón ibérico, salted Marcona almonds or juicy Gordal olives, perhaps. Hot tapas change regularly, but star performers have included lip-smacking clams with butter beans & bacon, meaty grilled Leon chorizo on toast with piquillo pepper, & Catalan spinach with pine nuts & raisins. Pair them with a fino sherry, a glass of cava or a gutsy Rioja from the interesting Spanish list & soak up the animated, cosmopolitan atmosphere - ’like Barcelona without being there’."

"Brindisa’s Spanish bar is a must for foodaholics."
