This Tapas bar is located in Brixton Village which is very vibrant. Close to public toilets which is handy as the bar doesn't have its own. Food was tasty but slightly overpriced.

Enjoyed a great evening at the Tapas Rooms. The team really looked after us, did a great job explaining the menu and giving us really useful tips on what to order. The food was really well prepared and tasty. None of the cliched tapas dishes, the dishes on the menu were all interesting, lesser known dishes. A real opportunity to eat great Spanish food.

The food was quite uninspired, was expecting Spanish tapas with more variety. Very limited choice and not all seemed to be cooked, the artichokes were from a jar? Not worth the money.

What a terrible experience in this place. The waiters were completely rude to us from the beginning, I even told one of them "You are so nice" for bringing my beer and his answer was "You don't know me". We were 7 of us, none of them assisted with portion sizes so we had to constantly repeat the order. Honestly, the guys were terribly rude and helpless. The cooked food was really good, the cured meats were awful. The ambience is ok.

Some of the best food in London. Imaginative and different without being ridiculous and trendy. Menus are expertly crafted by the chef who sources wonderful (often locally foraged) ingredients, and who regularly wanders out to talk about the food with diners. Front of house are great. Chatty and helpful, knowledgeable about the wine list. This place feels like a labour of love.

I keep bringing work colleagues to this restaurant as the food is outstanding and gets rave reviews every single time. The dishes are unique and their own flavour journey, and the menu changes frequently so it's always interesting. Service is wonderful as well. A+ recommend.
