"Had a very nice meal late Saturday afternoon and managed to get the benefit of the 3 tapas for £9.99. So we had 9 plates between us both along with wine then finished off with sweet, then cocktails. The ambiance was very good and typically Spanish tapas style and very busy 4-5pm. The food was tasty and their cocktails spot on with friendly and bustling staff. The only downside was that an additional tapas plate and 2 drinks that we didn’t have were included in the bill. This should not happen with electronic real time ordering and check out. So check your bill carefully."

"On our first night in relents, we decided to tast on dating in soho, to have happiness and without reservation, we slide past the many horeca business this neighborhood is rich. In this case, we're in a good mood, and that didn't leave us. The food was delicious and came fast, the service was fine. Especially if you want to come over here and eat, we were lucky to have the last available table." No problem with this soft setup, but after we saw several groups going through the door with regret that the case is sufficient. A real rapist!"

"I was here before I got vegan and it's close to the office. eating is good, not the best tapas I've ever had. but a good option. the vegan options are okay, my problem is that all the options have fake cheese or fake cream. I would have preferred it if they were clearly optional, as I prefer to avoid those where possible. surprisingly paras bravas in the main menu was not listed. I wasn't sure if it was a supersupervised or if it wasn't vegan. I will go back"

"We went to Bar Castillejar for the first time on Christmas Eve and had a lovely time! The food, wine, music and service were all just great! There were 3 of us and we had 8 dishes which was plenty. We enjoyed all 8 except for one which unfortunately was bland so disappointing. The ladies that served us were so friendly and were happy to make recommendations. Will definitely go again and would recommend the restaurant."

"I visited twice and at both locations the service was professional and friendly and the eating was delicious. some common suspects on the menu (padron pepper, patatas bravas) and some less well-known dishes, such as eggplant and goatserolles. we liked especially the ochs, the mushroom croquets and the calamari. very pleased to have this place close, it would be worth a trip to beckenham for if they are a bit further away."
"Lovely little restaurant with really great, friendly service and good food. The restaurant is quite small but has a great atmosphere, perfect for smaller parties or dates. The service is attentive and friendly, with great knowledge of the foods and wine. The food is pretty good. Some dishes were a bit too salty though, but overall very good. Comes at a price though, so be prepared to pay for it!"
"simply a fantastic lunch at this place, on the recommendation of my lavish (the really good eating know.) beautiful relaxed facility, menu well cured and beautifully presented. staff very friendly and helpful, all well-launted (not hurry, not slow.) best patatas Ali-Oli I had, and enjoyed the cheek-erbsen bowl almost as much as the black pudding and paprika. They know that it is a good place when the Veg dishes are as exciting as the meat and fish! puddings were incredible. we will return!"

"We visited this restaurant for dinner based on my brother's recommendation and were thoroughly impressed. It is a fantastic spot for a meal, featuring friendly staff and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The selection of tapas was excellent, with plenty of choices available. The quality of the food was outstanding, and it was served at a good pace, ensuring we always had plenty on the table. The desserts were also delightful, and I would even say they were better than the main courses—but everything was really excellent. Given this experience, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit. I would definitely return!"

"My partner and I are big fans of Spanish cuisine and we often visit Spain. This was our first time dining at Lorentes. We ordered sangria, Iberian ham and cheese board, and paella. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to see that we were served crackers instead of fresh bread and olive oil. In every Spanish restaurant we've been to, guests start with bread and olive oil. The paella was also underwhelming. There was no Spanish wine on the menu. However, the prices were reasonable and the service was very pleasant."

"The food here is very good! We enjoyed everything that we ordered and even asked for seconds on some of the dishes. I highly recommend the Pan con Aceite and Jamón Ibérico for starters. Also, the white sangria pitcher was just perfect and I would very much recommend it. I felt I was transported to Spain through the food, it was that good. Kudos to the chefs! Service was good as well, the only thing of note is for the Paella it is on “pre order”, which I have never seen before at a restaurant. You have to actually notify them in advance if you want the paella which was a bit disappointing. However we ordered a few different dishes to share which tasted great, so it didn’t detract from the experience. The Alcachofas salteadas (artichoke hearts) are a must very delicious! All in all, a great Spanish tapas spot you have to visit in Beckenham!"

"we just had the most beautiful meals in the basque kitchen. as visiting the island for a short holiday with our family, we have decided to leave the children with their grandparents and have a very rare meal only the two of us. we had the most beautiful tapas (we ordered a lot more crooked, probably too much for two people, but so satisfied we did as it would have been a shame not to try everything) the cook produced an additional choir for us if they are looking on tapas on the island, they must try this restaurant. even if they stay on the other side of the island, it is worth every minute of the 30-minute drive! x"

"This is a wonderful place! It's the cleanest pub I've ever visited. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch with generous portions of homemade food. The quality was excellent, the venue was lovely, and the staff were fantastic. The food was fresh and came out relatively quickly. The only thing I missed personally was baby changing facilities, but we will definitely be returning soon."

"I was treating my husband to a trip on the Watercress Line for his birthday and found this restaurant for lunch in between trips. The food was exquisite and very authentic. We started with the boquerones with some bread and aoili. We lived in Mallorca and boquerones are a favourite for my husband and they were the best we have tasted, just the right amount of lemon and fresh parsley. We followed up with the Octopus a favourite of mine and, again, the best I have ever tasted- recipe please? , gambas, sardines and tomato salad. I have not had sardines like this since I left Spain. Beautifully filleted and the green sauce was so fresh and tasty. The gambas were way better than I expected, far more than a few prawns rolling around in garlic butter that you usually get in this country and in Spain at some restaurants. It was all superb. I asked if they could make a little cake for huzz’s birthday and they made the most delicious chocolate and raspberry cake, complete with candles. My husband suffers from Alzheimer’s which affects his verbal communication and yet the staff were superb with him, friendly, attentive, professional and personable. I could not have asked for more he loved it. Be prepared to feel like a walking garlic clove that has just eaten Christmas dinner after your visit. Thank you Pulpo Negro"

"I have been going to Gino’s for years and they never fail to deliver on excellence, last night was no exception. The food was amazing so much so I had to taste all three dishes on the table, which was Pizza, Pasta and steak. We had different prawns starters, all amazing. The staff were friendly, atmosphere lovely. This is a gem of a restaurant that everyone should try."

"Sadly, we were quite disappointed with the food. Despite the fact that the menu didn't specify, everything ordered was quite spicy, making it almost impossible to taste anything as all one can taste is the same burning sensation... the waitress didn't mention that dishes are quite spicy and perhaps not very suitable for a child, even though there was a 5 years old with us. The prices were quite high for what was served 2x chicken skewers, or 4 meatballs with nothing else on the plate for £14 each) . So for the three of us, the bill was over £75 and we left hungry. Unfortunately, cannot recommend and would not come back. back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3"

"Good moods in this restaurant, tapas food was delicious and delicious. Enjoy the rum crushed sea bass and corn sardines. Also the local desserts Churros and the white chocolate cake were delicious. Right amount of sweetness. The local gold woke Ale went well with the food. Staff happy and friendly. For all needs. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Would go back... Reserve a table when you go, due to its popularity...."

"Slow, surly service, complacent, unapologetic management. On its website Cigala describes itself as a place that “hums with professional excellence”. On our visit, for a mid week lunch, nothing could have been further from the truth. We opted for the reasonably priced lunch set menu containing a meat, fish and vegetarian option for main course. All our party of four favoured the fish option but we were told that only one portion was left. This was at in a half empty restaurant. The management could have easily substituted another fish option from the a la carte menu but made no attempt to do so After ordering promptly we sat back and waited, .....and waited. The service was...read more"
