Llerena takes its name from a little village in Extremadura, southwest Spain, where four generations of our family has raised Iberian pigs since 1939, producing authentic "Bellota" jamón ibérico, chorizo and other pork delicacies. Our family created a business around the farm called Jamón y Salud to sell our gourmet products and has now brought this exquisite taste of Spain to Islington with the Llerena Ibérico Tapas Bar. Not only can you sample ibérico pork grilled meats and finest jamón, but also creamy Torta del Casar cheese and other traditional Extremadura's delights as well as the best wine from our region.

Very good food but the fire alarm went off and didn’t stop! The staff didn’t react to advise customers what was happening nor offer any gesture for the inconvenience

A first visit but not the last one at all. I spend a lot of time walking in Spain and love the country and the food. Llerena is authentic, friendly, helpful and the food was really delicious. And there was the bonus of live music the night we were there. A real gem of a find.

The food itself was good, but some of the portion sizes, especially the meat (the morcilla, the solomillo, the pluma) we on the scarce side. Otherwise great experience: good selection of wine, lovely ambiance, good mix of food and good service.

We had an excellent evening at the restaurant. The various dishes we ordered were simply sensational. The front of house staff were also very attentive and helpful. The restaurant decor was perhaps a little 'tired' and didn't reflect the overall quality of the restaurant itself.

Food was delicious and the restaurant itself was lovely, it lacked on atmosphere though - it was a Tuesday night and a little quiet but the music volume could be increased and the lights made a little dimmer to create a better ambience. The service was good but felt a bit rushed at times, the waitress was trying to take away plates before we’d finished with the food.

I had a birthday lunch on a Sunday here. The lights were a little too low at first but the waitress was happy to make it brighter. The food was fantastic although if you are hungry best to order about 3 or 4 tapas dishes. The service and atmosphere were great too (brilliant flamenco guitarist). I will definitely be returning.

We had a quick pre theatre dinner at Llerena. It's very close to Almeida so the location was convenient. It had a nice ambience, with good background music and friendly staff. It was peaceful so it qas easy to chat. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Great food in this laid back tapas place. Very smiley waiter (owner?) And the food is well above average for tapas in this country. Particularly good were the mushrooms, the padron peppers and the chorizo dish. I don't drink but my friend said the wine was a bit disappointing. I had a zero alcohol Spanish beer which was tasty. Good gluten free and veg options all clearly indicated on the menu. Great pre theatre outing for the Almeida.
