Travelzoo voucher for 4 Excellent food and excellent service by Lorena. She took the nut allergy of one of us very seriously and made sure everything was checked and ok with us. She went that extra mile with a smile

As chilled out as it should be.as personal as they should be.no sacrifices here when it comes to quality. No fancy when fancy is not the case.the fact that the options on the mains is not that broad,it means something.i know what I know and I am serving you things that I know I am good at(making them).pleasant and to the point!p.s they have Gin Mare in stock :) !

Modern twist on traditional Spanish dishes. Ordered the octopus and prawns for tapas followed by grilled sea bass fillets with asparagus as mains. All washed down with a jug of sangria. Very tasty and very efficient service. Though be aware that the dishes err on the more expensive side.

This is my third time here and I always enjoyed the food at La Bandera. Unfortunately tonight when I called the restaurant the male person answered the phone and said there is no tables at all tonight and that they are fully booked. I have looked online and booked table half an hour later. The restaurant had a lot of empty tables. The food tasted good, I have tried better tapa/Spanish restaurants. The portion for the special almond cake was also quite disappointing as you can see from the photo, portion was very small.

Delicious food, nice environment and very friendly service! We had an amazing time here, will definitely come back! I specially recommend the Paella de la Granja and Chorizo al vino.

I enjoyed the fried cod fillets, patatas bravas, chicken wings and the octopus. The octopus was decent size, tasted fresh and not chewy. The patatas bravas was crispy on the outside and soft on the side, accompanied by the popular sauces they come with. The fried fillet was crispy and fresh to the bite. The sangria was refreshing, was quite light though. The atmosphere was a little dark for my preference, I prefer it a little lighter so I can see the menu. The prawns were a little disappointing, they were tiny and the flavour was just not right. Usually I’m a fan of prawns, but would not order that again. It’s also a shame they didn’t have the pigs cheek and knuckle. I would have loved to try them.

Really good service and authentic food. Would say food is better than most tapas restaurants in Manchester. Only con I would say is dining in the night is too dark I can barely see anything!

They were able to seat us without a prior reservation. Try the paella with octopus ink..I only had to travel to Manchester to taste the best paella in my life so far.

Came here for my birthday on December, we had the seasonal menu with wine pairings. Every single dish was delicious and the wine was fantastically paired. The atmosphere was lovely, and our waiter (Thomas) was such a gracious host! His excitement with the food and wine was infectious, he talked us through the dishes with so much knowledge and passion and really enhanced the whole experience. We can't recommend it enough, and look forward to coming back!

Black Paella is a MUST TRY. Been having for several years and quality unchanged. Always made you feel like to go again and again. After visiting La Bandera, you will ignite your forever hungry for Black Paella !

Had bottomless brunch with a few friends and we all loved it, not the cheapest around at £42 but worth every penny and more as we had the choice of Sangria, Beer, Wine, Cava and Cocktails which were great and we had plenty In our 90 mins, the Tapas was fantastic and filling with good quality food, service was very attentive so will definitely be returning.
