"these are dotted around london and I was always thrilled by the facility. it looks like a deli with all the hanging jamon, then there is the tapas bar and also a casual sitting restaurant vibe. behind the bar, you will see the display of various Spanish meats and be ready to be cut, plated and served.With a friend in the city and a group of us want to entertain him, nothing completely fits like a tapas sharing experience. equipped with my taste card we drove to holborn for our reserved table. the Holborn site is large, open and airy. high ceiling, large windows above the front and beautifully spaced tables/sele. we sat in a corner that was good, as I knew, that we would probably get a little rainy. if you haven't seen a friend for a long time, of course, the wee, the remembrances are reappearing and the sweat burst. Having ordered a white and red wine from a Spanish wine list that ranged from aragon to toro, we studied the tapas menu for our choices. we went for every food group, with classy like pimento pardon and kartoffel bravas, to some lush gambas pil pil (king prawns in olive oil with garlic and chili). grilled chestnut mushrooms with Spanish blue cheese and garbanzo con chorizo (chorizo, kichererbsen, Piquillo pepper with pimento). a selection of Spanish cheeses and estofado de cerdo (a basque stew of slowly boiled pork, with carrots and carrots). it was a good cross-section of the food that was very tasty. it was enough for us four. I would be interested in a future visit, as there is nothing like Spanish meat. / mas q menos is a really relaxing place, ideal for getting friends. the service was nice, our waiter spoke about Spanish, recommended some dishes and led us through the wine list. we will definitely visit again and with off-food with tastecard, it makes the experience even sweeter."

"Bang average overpriced food unfortunately. Nice location and very clean with good atmosphere I was looking forward to bringing one of my best clients here for lunch. We ordered two glasses of Albariño with our dinner. Waitress came back to say they had run out so we ordered her recommendation instead. She re appeared with a magnum sized bottle and poured my clients glass first then started my glass only for it to run out after a few short dribbles……she apologised and then came back with another Magnum sized bottle only for it to run out AGAIN before my glass has reached the right level. Watched her serve other people before finally returning to complete my glass I asked if she could also top up my guests glass as she had taken a few sips whilst we waiting ages for my glass she refused saying she will have to charge extra!! So this set the tone for our meal embarrassing stuff. Then the waitress took our napkins away before the food came I only realised this half way through when I wanted to dab my mouth. The food was nice enough but maybe the above soured the taste my client did remark the food can remarkably quick for a restaurant it is like to have been ready in a selection on the pass which is maybe understandable but with fish it’s not good enough. We will not be back and I still owe my client a decent lunch there are countless in the area but I wanted to try somewhere I had not been my mistake."
