"It was a Tuesday evening and apart from one other couple, we were the only diners. I was very disappointed with the food this time. We hadn't visited Barcelona for quite a few years and on this occasion I was taking a friend out for a birthday meal. The management is still the same and the owner is very nice, friendly and the service was good. But the food I would say was below par. The calamaris were rubbery and the batter soggy. The prawns in garlic were OK but nothing special and just the same size as you can buy in a local supermarket. The mixed salad was soggy and we left half of it. The presentation just didn't have that je ne sais quoi. We had a nice bottle of wine, but for over £60 (for two) with no desert or coffee I wasn't impressed. There was a fresh flower on each of the tables, but a little extra ambience like a candle on the table would also make a difference to the dining experience. I got the impression that the sparkle has gone now. I think they need to up their game and get a new chef!"

"Decent food but strange ambience. Atmosphere here really let's this place down. You go downstairs into what seems to be the basement of an office, but rather than a cozy, dark room the place itself feels quite bright and sparsely decorated. We partly went hoping to hear upbeat and authentic Spanish music but were disappointed that it was instead hard rock. At one point this was turned so high with shreaking guitar riffs that we could not continue our conversation. At this point we complained to a waiter, only to be told that this was their play list and they are not changing it (ok, then we won't be back! but he did turn it down. It is a shame that these ambience points overshadowed the overall nice food. Tortilla, padrón peppers and churros were excellent. Other dishes were good too (an aubergine stew was however a bit too salty and oily and the menu is vast, and suitable for veggies. The house red is also decent."

"There are a couple of things that went wrong during our visit here. We were taken to our table and told to scan a QR code to order our food. Once we did that we were told that we shouldn't have but order and pay for the food at the cash till. The staff was nevertheless able to sort it out but, unfortunately the online order was not properly picked up and one of the dishes we ordered was brought with the extra spice sauce (instead of the one ordered). Again, things were sorted out by the staff but the overall experience was sub-par. The good was ok-ish but would probably not return soon."

"We had been to Barcelona Tapas once before. The previous visit was decent, but this time it was poor, due mostly to the service. The food was decent, but one of the dishes (croquettes) arrived when most of the other dishes had already been eaten; so late that we thought they had forgotten the croquettes. The restaurant was quiet, and when another couple came in, they sat them right next to us (that shows the waiting staff care more about their journey than anything else), and then were very chatty towards them. They weren't with us. That's a small thing, but it made us feel that we were just punters in to eat and go. Basically, there was no sense of occasion. Football should also not be on the tv. If I want football on, I'll go to the match or to a pub."

"the feeling of Spanish authenticity is everywhere in el pirata and it feels like sitting in Spanish. I visited alone when I was in london and was looking forward to the meal of the moment when I went through the door. the service was excellent, and the waiter helped me build an evening meal that corresponded to my appetit. I started with pan con tomate, and that was as good as I had. I have paired this with padron green pudders from galizien and jamón serrano for the perfect start to the meal. for the main course I decided to have a trio that felt as a compliment. they did it absolutely – the chuletitas de cordero, carrillera and uevos rotos especiales were made for each other! everyone was...read more"

"Boqueria Market on Queenstown Road is the second branch of Boqueria, a Spanish tapas restaurant group. I visited the original Boqueria on Acre Lane in Brixton about 18 months ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was fresh and wholesome and the service was lovely. So once again I found myself south of the river to discover what Boqueria Market had to offer. Boqueria Market is a really smart looking restaurant. The setting is intimate and the lighting is soft. The restaurant feels relaxed, yet there is a buzzy vibe to it that makes for an engaging dining experience. The menu is similar to the Acre Lane branch and includes a selection of traditional and contemporary tapas as...read more"

"In Camden and needed somewhere to eat so dropped in here. Service was attentive and friendly, really nice buzzy atmosphere and was food was pretty good. Should’ve had the tapas as it looked awesome coming out but we’d plumped for the sharing meat and cheese board then paella. There was way too much meat on the board and not enough cheese and olives (maybe some pickles would be good here). Paella was ok but nothing to write home about, glad I asked for chorizo (seafood and chicken option) as it helped lift the flavour. House Rioja and Cava were good. Finished with a couple of hazelnut liquors, nice. Service charged included came to £92 which was reasonable. Worth dropping in if passing by for the tapas for sure."

"Been here many times and always been pleased hence returning many times. This time however we were left for 15-20 minutes without anyone even asking for a drinks order, in fairness once prompted we did get a free drink, but still pretty poor. After we ordered we did wait around 40 minutes for our food, and whilst I appreciate it takes time to prepare and serve, it did seem awfully long especially after the initial 15-20 minutes wait to order in the first place. In short great food at reasonable cost in a nice atmosphere, customer service shocking and needs sorted out before you lose customers."

"We got late Groupon deal (and babysitter)for the good ladies birthday. £34 for a sharing platter 2 including bread, cheese, meats and olives. This was followed by a shared potato gratas and 5 choices from the tapas menu. As is standard some of the items have a supplementary charge. We went for the King prawns in garlic and chilli, chicken and chorizo in a tomato sauce, pan serrano(garlic bread topped with manchego cheese and serrano ham), chicken burger sliders and a breaded cheese with a tomato sauce. The dishes came with a tomato sauce and garlic aioili dip. As you expect with Spanish tapas the good was hearty and tasty. We didn't leave a morsel on the table. This isn't a dog at the portion size (which was more than generous) it is just a testament to how good it was. We finished with chocolate fudge cake that we had to force down which was probably my least favourite course. This could have been down to being stuffed like a pig before the first spoonful so I wouldn't read too much into that. To drink we had a jug of sangria to share. Sweet and fruity. Scoffed the lot. Enough said. We will definitely be back again. Outstanding value. Lovely food. Brilliant service. Wonderful transport links (if like us you like a little tipple with your Friday night meal). You you are literally up the stairs and across the road from the bus and train station. Should be noted that the Groupon deal was for £34 which is a bargain in itself. As it had been a long time since I last used my Groupon I got an extra 50 percent off the deal. I will never spend under 20 pounds for that amount of quality grub again in my life. Been smiling all weekend. 1st time. Definitely not the last."

"Delicious food as always with some excellent daily specials as well as the main menu. My only complaint was that when we ordered a second round of dishes because the first was so yummy there was a misunderstanding with one dish, and then even the replacement was the wrong dish (but we didn’t have the heart to tell them it was wrong again so we ate what we were given instead of what we had ordered)."

"the rabbit was boiled for perfection, melt softened with caramelized baby tweezers and tomatoes. it was also in the regular Spanish that it felt as if it had been negotiated with an axe with various sharp pieces of bone. apparently rustic. the salt meadow was wonderfully picked with black pudding and thin cut chorizo. the fish fleshy with a wonderful taste of the sea gives a gentle saltiness then to finish the sweet meat aromen. simple and elegant. the ham steak in px was cooked similarly well and the sauce from this wonderfully rich wein was impractical and required a part brot to enjoy it sweet. the garnels had a perfect hauch of chili heats,...more"

"We were disappointed to find that the chicken dish we wanted was sold out, and we felt like we had to leave earlier than we wanted because they closed at 6 PM, which is earlier than usual. That said, the experience is always pleasant. I do find it a bit pricey, so while I would definitely return, it might not be as frequently due to the value for money."

Awful that you can book and they dont even see it Manager said it was impossible to book online but i received the confirmation "

"a cozy and warm little restaurant with Andalusian deco, there were 3 of us, we ordered 9 tapas, 2 desserts, 1 cheese board and 2 types of drinks. tapas: highly recommended: Bacon-packed data. there were 2 types on the menu, one is with steak, one without, the waiter told us that they are completely different, but actually the only difference is one skewered and has some steak on it. deep-fried medaillons of goat cheese with honey. the texture was amazing, also I like the combination of sweet savory. this is the reason. reserva perfect with a glass sangria. not order: pinchos de cordero al limón lamb is super dry and got carbonization. dessert: we ordered 3 items from the dessert and cheese menu, because they only have 3 items, all other items are not available. chocolate mousse truffle was better than the Spanish style crème brulée. Cheeseboard pairing with pedro ximénez was really nice. price is about £45 per person with drinks if without drinks £40 should be enough."

"While I expected a crazy busy motherday rush, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet and while I was busy it was nothing that the staff could not handle. our waiter, while slightly sticky was polite and very friendly. he may have been cute on my mother, it has proved more than anything. during the garlauchbrotstarter proved to be disappointing perhaps as a garlic bread lover my standards are quite high! when it came to the carbonara (with added hair naturally) I was blown away. I almost went into a food cosm to finish it. Maybe it was the best carbonara I ever had! Unfortunately, no discounts were taken due to Mother's Day. this is understandable from business, but if I am a seafarer and my mother works for the nhs, it was disappointing not to use any of these discounts. overall we recommend a visit! reasonably priced and not a meal that would break the bank, which is always helpful if they are on a family dinner!"

Connubio Da Fabio

"Connubio means union in Italian and Fabio is the owner who has been there for all our visits. I think it sums up this lovely restaurant perfectly. Italian and Spanish food is brought together and also the menu has wine pairing suggestions. Fabio really knows his wines and has some lovely short stories about some of them. There’s a wide price range and I really get the sense he cares more about you enjoying it than trying to up sell as they do in chains! The food is good but not complex (deliberately so I think). The cheese board is amazing...especially when they have a pecorino with truffle in...but it changes depending on what the supplier provides so don’t expect this what I am now calling crack cheese all of the time. I really love that it’s not pretentious or overly chefy. Although as I’d like to visit often being local, some specials might be nice as I get the sense the menu doesn’t change often. The service is very friendly and has personality. If you’re nice then I think they go the extra mile to treat you well and engage with you. If you’re rude then I can imagine them not being that bothered if you come back as they have enough regular customers that enjoy it for what it is. Together, the food, service, slightly 1980s style decor all makes a delicious atmosphere. If you’re local then please keep supporting this independent business at the heart of Muswell Hill."

"The food here is always excellent, and they don't scrimp on their portion sizes, especially the paella which is very generous! Don't be lulled in to ordering paella for the exact number in your party, as the portion size will be HUGE unless you don't plan to have any tapas starters. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children (11 13). We had a selection of tapas starters (approx 3 pp) followed by a Paella Mixta for 2 people, and we were stuffed! This was more than sufficient, enough in fact for us to take away a doggy bag, which later fed 2 adults for dinner. The restaurant is consistently packed, especially on Saturday night so reservations are advisable to avoid disappointment or long waits. My only gripe is the service is very slow. We have eaten there on 2 separate Saturday nights and it always feels like they're a little short staffed. At one point in the evening I saw 5 staff behind or at the bar, and only 2 tending to customer tables. To give some context, at this time there were only 2 customers seated at the bar, but a full restaurant. If you're not in any hurry, then slower service isn't going to be an issue, however the absence of staff tending to tables does make getting the waiting staff's attention very tedious, and delivery of things like drinks very slow. My biggest issue with the restaurant is the toilets, in particular the ladies room. On this occasion 2 out of 3 ladies cubicles were unuseable, blocked with paper and other waste matter presumably this is due to poor water pressure and flushing, but whatever the reason, does not make for a pleasurable experience, resulting in a long wait for the 1 working loo."
