RESTAURANT MAYFAIR EL PIRATA
MAYFAIR’S WORST KEPT SECRET…?
With a menu full of flavour, an enviable wine list and attentive staff, we’ve served some of the greatest and good in the city’s social scene.
Best Spanish Tapas in London’s Mayfair
From fashionistas to famous actors, El Pirata has seen many a recognisable face come through the door- and in turn has become somewhat of a ‘Grande Dame’ of the restaurant world.

The team at El Pirata are so friendly and accommodating and nothing is too much for them.

Fine food, excellent choice, comfortable surroundings, marvellous service and a bill at the end that doesn’t give me indigestion!
- El Pirata is a real hidden gem right in the throes of the city but without feeling so.Seen in the City
It is a welcomed respite from the hustle and bustle of London, whisking you off for a Spanish evening of fine wine and fine food at a more than reasonable price. We’re already planning our return visit.
BEST SPANISH RESTAURANT IN LONDON’S MAYFAIR
Fine praise indeed, not only for us but our discerning customers, too- El Pirata really is a haven for all London foodies and wine buffs alike. In fact, our friends at Experience Luxury whole heartedly agree, calling us
“a little slice of Spain….you’re spoilt for choice when choosing what to eat at El Pirata.”
Well, we are Spanish – spoiling our clientele is what we do best!
OUR SPANISH ROOTS INFLUENCE EVERYTHING WE DO
As A Lady of Leisure can testify: “As for wine, the Spanish pinot noir recommended by Paolo was delicious.” Pairing the right wine with the right dish is almost an art form and we love our art like we love our food: bold, big and full of character!
We enjoy advising our guests on the best wine pairings and it seems that we’re doing a good job; London unattached writes, “ I … really do enjoy being guided through the best wines to pair with food…Happy to have been reunited with an old friend and resolved to not wait so long until we meet again.” Tapas near Knightsbridge.
We believe that a smile goes a long way in making you feel at home; “refreshingly unpretentious” is how Luxury Lifestyle Mag described us and we couldn’t agree more.
We’re delighted to be back in full swing for 2021- as Mayfair times says, “with a few different flavours, the same friendly service and slightly more than just a lick of paint.”
