Had absolutely stunning tapas here. Try and take a table as the bar stools not the most comfy . Scallops , tomato salad , lamb and grilled duck dishes were really lovely. Friendly service , worth a visit!
A tapas based restaurant in London theatre land. Very good service , tasty tapas selection with just one or two disappointments. Look out for what others are ordering....if they look like regulars.
I felt myself in a local and traditional Spanish pinchos bar here! Start with grilled bread with olive oil : it was served just after ordering, warm and very nice and order haddock croquettes !
Great wine list , excellent burger , great tapas .... Kitchen is closed until 5, but do get the burger for sure. The Spanish charcuterie plate was very good too.
Boquerones! And all kinds of great tapas . The iberico ham is amazing as well . Go upstairs for a quieter experience.
The pork belly with cannellini beans was dreamy. And courgette flowers are always a highlight too. Ask for upstairs seating when booking .
Some unique tapas dishes- would highly recommend the Octopus carpaccio (!!), chorizo with eggplant & Spanish scotch egg . However, the goat cheese courgette was a bit too strong & the fish was dry.
Highlights: mini foie gras burger , ham croquettes , Iberico secreto combo, rosemary nuts , all desserts , and homemade lemonade with mint !
Go off piste and try the Iberico pork and foie gras burger . It’s tapas , so these burgers are mini, but spectacular. The patty rests upon a bed of aioli , red onion marmalade and butterhead lettuce. Read more
Probably the best tapas in London, with service to match. Have the Sea Bass Ceviche and the Turrón Parfait . Read our full review on Scoff London: http://scofflondon.com/4-star/opera-tavern-wc2/
Extremely good Tapas . A Nice Area too. Go for a nightcap at THE Hotel Savoy after :)
Saltyard Group is indeed a success in London. Chorizo on yogurt , cod cheeks, pork loin and fig pinchos , pork cheeks are brilliant.
Fave place for casual dining . Foie gras burger , Jamon cuts, wine
The foie grass mini burger is very good and the Scottish eggs too! Very good wine selection and friendly staff .
Tapas restaurant opposite Theatre Royal. Meant to have the best burgers in London. Don't forget it's tapas so the burgers are small
Mini Iberico & Foie Gras burger and Corguette Flower - don't even think about it!! Amazing!! The boquerones are great as well .
After enjoying the tuna confit , mini-Iberico pork burgers and various Italian cheeses , it became clear why Opera Tavern has already been awarded two rosettes from the AA restaurant guide. Read more
Cold chocolate fondant with PX salted caramel and espresso ice cream is to die for.
Lovely tapas ! Wine was also really good. Quite expensive for the tiny portions though.
Skip the burger . Get the tapas . Excellent selection of fish . Lamb also on point
Awesome Salt Yard spinoff. Menu is very much it's own though with unique dishes. Try the Salt Cod and the Mini Burger and something from the Charcoal Grill .
Gluten free squid was amazing. Sadly lots of other dishes where disappointing, cold, dry, we sent back dishes, staff where apologetic. Also had missing dishes, staff where apologetic…. Meh
Must have the calf's liver skewer , crispy pig ears , mini foie burgers , and a bottle of Elias Mora. Chorizo was a tad salty.
Great choice of sherry . Good food, service and ambience. Mini burgers are delicious.
Can be difficult to get a table, but the food (tapas ) and wine is delicious!
Lamp cutlets are excellent and service is outstanding:)) highly recommended...
Wonderful. Bread , padron peppers , jamon di bellotta and palo cortado . Heaven.
Amazing tapas ! The grilled iberico pressa was the best thing ever! Definitely worth a try. Everything was great on the menu.
Foie Gras burger is unmissable. Everything else is brilliant - but try not to make the mistake of only ordering the richest things on the menu...
Mini iberico burgers on a real charcoal grill . No, you are not hallucinating. Best stop for post-Covent Garden shopfest.
Chocolate fondant , salted caramel , expresso ice cream . Save yourself - it is divine!
Awesome fois gras burger . Have one early - you may want more than one!
Every plate was spot-on. Delicious food and good service .
Sit at the bar for better lighting and true tapas atmosphere
A truly fantastic restaurant - great food and wonderful service. Can't recommend highly enough. As Michael Winner would say, "historic"
Absolutely stunning food. If you roll up and sit at the bar you can still order everything on the menu.
Sensational. Don't miss the Octopus or the Chorizo starter.
Tasted almost everything on the menu apart from the cheeses and they where all perfect.so relax and just enjoy whatever u order.
Confit of pork belly with rosemary-scented cannellini beans (Time Out London's 100 Best Dishes)
Cod skewers , and patatas with bravas sauce!
Everything. Never had a bad meal here.
Crab balls are awesome, as basically everything else.
The best mini burgers in town ...
Courgette flowers filled with goat cheese and covered with honey !

Lovely ambience and very friendly staff .
Great food, and amazing price considering the quality.
Brilliant tapas that will make you drool.
Bloody good stuff. Try and eat upstairs for a more relaxed affair.
Great tapas
Great vegetarian tapas options. Very rare! And great drinks. But get here early if you want a seat. - Lucy w
Squeezed us in at last order time, so unsurprisingly the service was fast, but pleasingly also with a smile. Delicious prawns, meatballs, and Catalan spinach. - Jessi @2feet1world
Easily some of the best tapas you'll find. Staff is fantastic and so is the food. - Nik Nadolski
Very nice venue although the legroom can be cramped but a beautiful atmosphere. Order your interval drinks before the show starts ???? - Luke Marsh
Amazing interior, beautiful theatre! Saw the nutcracker, it was wonderful! Lovely champagne cocktails which we pre ordered for the interval. - Emily-jane
Comfy seats, intimate theater. Much more spacious seating than many London Theaters. - Jason H.
