Some of the most innovative and delicious tapas in North London. Friendly , knowledgable staff and a buzzing atmosphere. Definitely my local favourite!

After trying most tapas places in London by now, this place is the best. All seafood is good, the artichoke was excellent

Gilly Thorne

Beautiful intimate buzzing place. Octopus dish, fennel dish, pork belly dish, watermelon dish - recommend all! All plates highly thought about with tastes, textures and presentation!

Jordi Llobet

Good quality of the ingredients. Montaditos, chipirones, mamchego... Everything was so tasty. Very good service too.

Gilly Thorne

Cocktails yummy and well thought out - and clearly so is wine list as the house white wine (only £20) was good!

James Salt

Really enjoyable tapas restaurant . Modern, fresh and tasty food. A great atmosphere; would recommend for couples but not large parties.

Nadia Semenchuk

Breakfasts are very good here. But after 3 pm they serve only tapas . I had two tapas , paid 20£ and was hungry in the end - the portions are just very small for that price

Kiara March

Food is ok, but overpriced. Portions are small. Staff is careless, we had to wait a lot of time for everything as they were talking to each other at the bar .

Jiri Kram

If you love Spanish food it is the place

Jerome Courtial

Nice place. Food is good not great and service can be really hit and miss.

Benjamin Schneider

Food here was not great. All very salty and not very tasty. Good manchego , but that was about it. There are better tapas on Upper Street.

Philippe Legrain

Why the good reviews? Food tasteless, service poor. If you want good tapas nearby, go to Morito in Exmouth Market

Gil

The hollandaise here is not made by them- very disappointing

Valentina Dal Mas

Slow slow service. Tables not really clean . Food ha too much oil. Decent. But would not come back.

Can Aksoy

Kokteyl , tapas ve daha niceleri mükemmel demek az kalır. Çalışanlar cana yakın, sıcak.. Fiyatlarsa oldukça uygun!

Nacho Carmona

Muy buena paella a un precio razonable
