Tierra & Mar Restaurant

Holiday group dinner spent here in one of our meals while in Cirencester as reviews online were very impressive. We had a 5-course tapas sharing set menu. Starters were delicious especially the Iberian platter and the goat’s cheese mousse. The paella was not how we expected it to be. Not much options that day. At the time of writing they got cod, lamb and veggies only. We were expecting a proper seafood paella not only with fish alone. The lamb paella was not too great. The cod paella was so-so. The veggie one was a bit bland. The rice was al dente which was impressive. Churros was also below par. Too skinny. The chocolate dip was great though.

Excellent food! Really recommend the lamb! Such a lovely surprise. The service was also second to none. Everything came out at the perfect time, and the staff were so enthusiastic and helpful. One thing to work on - the interior. The building has a lot of potential and it could be stunning, bur at the moment it’s a bit tired and very…blue!

Excellent tapas with plenty of variety. Take a group and order plenty of half portions. Everything was absolutely delicious but the baked stone trout and braised lamb rump were so good we ordered seconds. Then to finish it off, churros with a cup of decedent chocolate and a surprise petite four with the best marshmallow I’ve ever had. Would definitely return!

It was a brilliant evening and the food was very good and very friendly service the only downside in our opinion was that the portion size had could be a big better or more especially when you choose a sharer one. The difference between single and sharer wasn't very big...but overall very good food.

Brilliant! Loved everything about Tierra and Mar. Staff were genuinely friendly and cared about what they were serving. The tapas were delicious. Felt like a fusion of tapas plus - delightful. The croquettas were the nicest we've ever had - melt in the mouth. Tuna carpaccio was yummy. All gorgeous. Would go back tomorrow!

This is a real gem! Food is absolutely delicious, gorgeously presented and delivered by friendly staff. The entrée includes a 4 times world winner olive oil with a strong herbal flavour, which on its own would be a good enough reason to visit. Chefs mix flavours in a surprising way, but by no means strange or over the top. You will be genuinely pleasantly surprised with every dish - I can especially recommend boneless spicy chicken wings, lamb and seafood. If you opt in for a set menu, make sure you add a few tapas as well to fully appreciate what's on offer. There is a nice selection of wines and liquors, and should you enjoy cider, there is a Basque semi-dry one you cannot miss. There is only one thing this restaurant lacks: two Michelin stars! Even if you're half an hour away, the trip here will be worth it without a doubt.
