Barrafina Borough Yards

The clean and stylish restaurant is accompanied by traditional Spanish dishes. You are able to sit at the bar and see for yourself how some of the dishes (this may include what you order) are handled and cooked. The restaurant is very clean! The service is friendly. A lady explained almost every dish to me as I was not familiar with some of the Spanish dish names. The restaurant offers special dishes. The oysters we ordered were used three ways. They were as fresh as the prawns. The cheese balls and fried calamari were not greasy. The fish and chicken were very tender. The flavoring of each dish was carefully cooked and prepared rather than simply sprinkled with something. Prices are moderate for London and worth a special trip!

Updated with a newer review as ended up going there again yesterday and this time with pictures! Everything was amazing as always - the gambas in olive oil and garlic was amazzzing so we’re the croquettes and the tortilla. Another outpost from the Barrafina crew and the food as always didn’t disappoint

This is a very pleasant restaurant away from the main crowds of Borough Market. Don't be put off by the small main menu, the daily specials are the stars. Tasty, decent sized tapas-style dishes with some really good larger mains to share. Great service sitting at the bar watching the cooks go about their craft. Highly recommended.

We recently had a delicious lunch at Barrafina. Very chic and pleasant atmosphere, staff were friendly and welcoming. As we had a baby, we were provided a big table with a high chair and space to park the pram. Food was very impressive, portions were plentiful. The seafood was fresh and well seasoned. Our favourite was the peppers which is a spanish staple, and prawns as they were super juicy. The restaurant was big and very pram friendly. Has a changing area for baby. We enjoyed our meal a lot, and will be coming back for another special occasion.

When I tell you the chicken pepitoria here is the BEST chicken I’ve ever had you’re just gonna have to believe me… and if you don’t, go try it yourself. Vibe 10/10, food 10/10. Generous portions without compromise on flavour, reasonably priced for the quality of food you get. Don’t have a single bad thing to say.
