"If you’re willing to wait—and trust me, you should—order an array of small plates like the sardine on toast, octopus with capers, milk fed lamb, ham croquettes, and prawn and piquillo pepper tortilla."

Olive Magazine

"Clamber onto one of the red leather stools that line the L-shaped main bar and watch the chefs prepare fresh clams, crisp-skinned quail with creamy aioli and coca mallorquina pizza. Inspired by Barcelona’s Cal Pep, it’s theatrical, it’s loud and it’s glamorous, and the food is simple Spanish cooking at its best."

Harper's Baazar

"Barrafina is a smaller, cooler sister to Fino on Charlotte Street, a simple tapas bar, with an L-shaped counter with 23 seats, where you're plied with fantastic things to eat by extremely pleasant staff."

Lonely Planet

"Divine mouthfuls are served on each plate, from the stuffed courgette flower to the suckling pig's ears and crab on toast, so would-be diners prepare to wait."

Time Out London

Adam Hyman

"Simplicity is so often overlooked by restaurants, which is exactly why the pan con tomate is a must."

Chris Pople

"Everything was right about this - excellent quality tomatoes seasoned with big crystals of sea salt, a faint burn of garlic and - most importantly - lightly toasted ciabatta that's not too chewy. A pan con tomate masterclass."

Helen Graves

"The oozing tortilla is nothing short of legendary."

Helen Graves

"Attention to detail is all when it comes to tapas. The pan con tomate is the best in London."

Stylist Magazine

"We are also very keen on the classic tortilla."
