Meat • Tapas • Cheese • Spanish


"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."

Coffee • Italian • European • Ice Cream


"Service was ok, staff very nice. Food was bland and poorly cooked. Chicken wings had soft, soggy fat. Bruschetta the standard tomato was ok but the cheese version was horrific...thick slab of cold cheese topped with a sweet, generic sauce. The bread was cold. The pizzas were ok...but lacked flavour...poorly seasoned. The main of seafood cannelloni was horrific...a pool of pink sludge. The salad was limp and looked like it had been dressed for lunch not dinner! Desserts were shockingly bad. The Affogato was made with bland ice-cream and the crumb had drowned in the coffee. The sundae was akin to something your year old would produce with a few bottles of squeezy ice cream sauces and whipped cream...again, bland and sloppy. Finally, the pear tart was pale, soggy, flavourless. This is the third time we've eaten there and each time say, 'maybe it was an off night'. It appears all nights are off nights. It was our son's birthday and I had indicated this on the booking, but no reference was made to it at all. There was a billing mix up in the end which the staff handled well...so no issues there. All told, an awful experience, a birthday meal ruined. Will not go back and couldn't advise anybody else to either...given our experience. The menu needs an overhaul...perhaps removing things like chicken wings from an Italian would help. The cooking needs to be vastly improved. The ambiance is good, décor ok, staff friendly"
