MAYFAIR’S BEST TAPAS BAR

line
Imagine the perfect tapas bar. You know, one of those buzzy, back street restaurants, full of happy customers and cheerful waiters, where the welcome is always warm and the food is freshly made, tasty and reasonably priced, and the wine list is as long as your arm.

Perhaps, in this place, you are just as comfortable sitting upstairs surrounded by Picasso prints as you are downstairs in the atmospheric cellar. Or maybe you want to sit at the bar, chatting with the barman who has worked there for 20 years and knows what wine you like. Or you might even prefer to dine al fresco, imagining the cobbled streets of Madrid, while sitting on a quiet street in Mayfair. Read El Pirata Reviews.

  • This is a cracking spot, and you don’t last this long..

    unless a fair few think along the same lines, too.

    TimeOut
  • This casual, crowded Spanish gem is a winner thanks to terrific tapas that won’t break the bank..

    great sangria and smiling waiters who work as a seamless team; and if it would be unremarkable in Andalusia, it hits the spot as far as Londoners are concerned.
