The food is incredible!
Try the asparagus paella (divine caramelised edge to it), the cheese board (tiny but exquisite and punchy cheese that should be (and was) enjoyed in small portions), the mackerel (out of this world), the sea bass ceviche (mindblowing).
We initially thought it looked too expensive for a restaurant in Brockley, but then the food arrived and it was so delicious that we couldn’t believe the value! A new fave for sure, this will be one for birthdays and anniversaries!
Had an excellent dinner here with my parents from out of town. The staff were lovely and attentive. We tried most of the tapas: tortilla, confit artichokes with black pudding (⭐️⭐️⭐️), garlic gambas, lamb (⭐️⭐️⭐️), spinach and leek croquetas (⭐️⭐️⭐️), white asparagus. Everything was so delicious. The wine list is impressive as well. We had a bottle of Albariño which complemented everything. Would definitely recommend and I can’t wait to go back!
L’Oculto Cocina is the kind of hidden gem that you want to tell everyone about, but also keep it a secret so that not too many people find out. The food is excellent quality with an inventive, delicious and regularly changing menu. The wine list focusses on natural wines which are sensibly priced and brilliantly selected. Perhaps the best thing about L’Oculto is the lovely atmosphere and super team, who make every visit feel like a special occasion. The friend that I took at the weekend said that it would now be his secret go to spot for dates… watch out ladies of south east London!!
Oh dear oh dear... What at find. Food was awesome. I think we tried most stuff on the menu. Leeks in some magical sauce, squide with ink and noodles, ox cheeks, place or whatever that amazingly cooked fish was called. Tortilla (for me needed a touch more salt but others loved it). We tried red, white and rose, all where excellent. The charcuterie on mixed board was perfect. Also, what I really loved that in the perfectly organised kitchen both chefs were woman. We are going back! Also I think the pricing was great, probably due to location. It would be double somewhere more central. Please go and enjoy.
Amazing "hidden gem". One of the best Spanish restaurants in London. Amazing wines, specialist in Natural wines. Super cool atmosphere.
What a great place to eat. All the staff were friendly and helpful with explaining the menu and recommendations. Lively restaurant and delicious food.
Without a doubt the best restaurant in Brockley. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is fantastic and lovely staff. Also great place to just grab a drink in the summer and sit outside and perhaps have some nibbles. Top quality place.
Great wine selection, the food is delicious and has high quality ingredients, and the service is nice and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back!
New local restaurant serving Spanish wine and food. Lovely friendly staff and more importantly, delicious food.
Lovely local restaurant. Food, atmosphere and service are standout with the best wine list around. Highly recommended.
