Spanish
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.

    Good food and great waiter although just the 1 guy who also manned the bar so not sure how it works when busy...would definitely return. Only downside, no meatballs 😁

    Absolutely unacceptable that at this restaurant they put people at the counter and they put dirty dishes at the same counter. It was so disgusting to eat and watch dirty dishes with leftovers from other customers, I changed my seating but it didn’t changed much because it was in the middle of the restaurant. Food overall good, basic, waiters very nice. Not coming back tho.

    Really great, authentic Spanish Restaurant in a fantastic part of London. The menu is stunning with excellent variation and is well combined with the great staff who are attentive and helpful. Atmosphere is nice and relaxed with a good hum coming from a vibrant place for a quality experience. Recommended.

    Llerena was a wonderful last-minute find! Fortunately for my friend and I, we wanted to dine early as Llerena seemed to be very busy from when we left (approx. 7:30pm). It's unsurprising, as the food was delicious and the entire menu was extremely well-priced for both London and Angel. The traditional Spanish earthenware added additional nuance to the entire atmosphere of the evening, and the servers were polite, attentive and very friendly. Will definitely return.

    As always, an fantastic night at Llerena, with tapas plates that are both familiar and tantalising. Churros to die for. A great place to catch-up with a friend, service was better than ever. Llerena keeps us coming back!

    Llerena as usual came up with the goods for a pre theatre meal. The gazpacho was particularly good and the trio of Jamon as usual. Alas for no morcilla or prawn croquetas but the replacements were great.

    Service was fab! The veggie options for the tapas were great. But the chorizo was not, it was chewy and I felt like it was a bowl full of the end of the sausage, which wasn't great. Feels like we got the left overs for the chorizo.
