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!
We really enjoyed the food and the service here.
Must-try:
1. Lamb
2. Chicken croquettes
3. Rice pudding (if you like Spanish rice)
You will sit in kinda bar setting and watch the chefs make food in front of you.
Make a reservation beforehand.
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.
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.
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.
Great food. I would recommend the tortilla and the courgette flower with goatcheese.
I had really high hopes coming here, and I think it was just a bit under my expectations to get a 5/5. Never the less a nice place that I would recommend visiting if you are craving tapas.
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
Situated in the newly opened Borough Yards, Barrafina is a fantastic Spanish tapas bar. We sat at the bar where you get a dedicated member of staff who delightfully went through the specials and tended to our needs. Star of the show was one of the specials, the Pluma Iberica pork which was succulent and melt in your mouth. The bar has a great atmosphere and you sense a brilliant camaraderie from the staff. A must.
Love the interior setting, making the atmosphere enjoyable.
However, the turn time is 1hr 30mins, too short to enjoy the food and experience in this great restaurant.
Experience: place was great, staffs were friendly and informative
Food: food was nice:) but was more impressed by the red wine, el risco.
Price: bit pricy
The food is always amazing at Barrafina, you can't go wrong!! I really enjoyed the Gambas Rojas and the Chipirones 😋😋 if you are vegetarian, try these two dishes-Calcots and Mushrooms & Cured Yolk.
This one was even a better experience than the one on dean. So I would go to this one. Maybe because of the time (4pm just start of shift)
They cleaned the fish for me without leaving a single bone and the chef asked about the food. Highly recommend this branch.
Loved this place. Sat at the bar and service was fantastic, very attentive. I ate:
- Chorizo croquetas (these were on the specials) 9/10
- Pan con tomato 9/10
- Tortilla 7/10
- Chicken a la catalana 7/10
- Chips (that had garlic Mayo and bravas sauce) 9/10
- Mushrooms with cured egg yolk 6/10
Managed to find 2 seats at the bar without a reservation and as always turned out to be a great experience. Lovely tapas and good service. Just wish prices were not as high, especially wines by the glass which I find quite over-priced for the quality.
Absolutely gorgeous seafood, we always go back and order a plate of the Gambas each every time
Great tapas restaurant, very warm atmosphere with a nice simple menu and great selection of wine.
As always, we had a fantastic evening of wonderful food and drink. The staff were lovely and the place was buzzing. Our first visit to this particular venue, we were very impressed.
