La Fabrica Stroud Green

Overall the food was good, the staff helpful and polite and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. I would say the seasoning was a bit hit and miss though - some dishes seemed like they had no salt and others seemed far too salty. A decent range of vegan options which is nice to see. Fairly expensive but found the portions a good size.

Just for the record, I'm a Spaniard so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to tapas and Spanish food, hence why my review might be a bit harsh.. We got the croquetes combo, out of the 4 types only the cod one was worth. The aubergine with cheese was a 2/5 max. The chopitos were good and the chorizo was very nice but I always regret getting chorizo as a tapa, its too much, I could do with portions half the size, it's always a very strong flavour and easy to get enough with just a few pieces. At least they had estrella Galicia on tap and the service in general and our waitress in particular were a 5/5. Not the cheapest but at least the service charge wasn't included... Will I go back? Perhaps, I still have some tapas to try. Will never get ham or cheese as I bring those from Spain and when you order in restaurants those two items are waaaay overpriced.

Last night tapas was delicious and a win for being in North London 🤤favourite things were the mixed chicken, cod, ham and spinach croquettes and the first 2 sauces from the bottom, requested Bloody Mary swapped with beer, marinated pork tenderloin, pork belly with cracking and amaretto cheesecake although dessert did send me over the edge🤰🏽but when you have room you have room ⭐️ Will be there next week as it was really good and want to try out spicy blue cheese and boar cheeks.
