Barrafina Adelaide Street

Barrafina is my go-to for a weekend treat or perfect date - and it never disappoints me! Always enjoy the casual vibes and refine yet authentic Spanish dishes (not always tapas though). Will be back again for sure.

I must admit that I'm a huge fan of the Barrafina brand. No matter which one I visit, it's always a great gastronomic experience. But I must say that I have a special fondness for the one in Adelaide.

A team of chefs led by Head Chef Ignacio makes every dish a great experience.

We had a table for 6 in the basement where there are just a few table seating. Most seating and more popular areas were on stools at the bar, but it does not work with a group of 6. This was a first time experience at Barrafina, and the whole group thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience. Service was very attentive as well, topping glass when required. Standard menu and daily specials board. Server happy to explain dishes. Servings are small and for sharing, so for a group, a greater number of dishes are required. We ordered 12 dishes and two bottles of red. Unisex toilets in the basement.

A Spanish gem in London!
Food, atmosphere, service, entertainment. It’s just amazing!
Authentic food, incredible taste and gorgeous presentation. The staff are extremely attentive and very helpful.
I highly recommend passing by, it’s like traveling to Spain and back in the moment.

Been meaning to try Barrafina for a few years now and finally did. Although the original and most hyped location is the one in Soho, this did not disappoint. We were going to celebrate a birthday and therefore had to make a table booking which is downstairs, away from the main bar upstairs which is only walk ins. The vibe downstairs is pretty dead but seating is comfortable. Overall, staff was super friendly, welcoming and helpful. Service was great with little wait time in between. Food was very enjoyable and pretty good quality. Would definitely recommend and come back.

This was so good I came back twice… reminds me of my time in Spain. Beautiful cooking, attentive service, just a gem of a restaurant chain in London serving classic and inventive dishes and tapas. Overall completely satisfied and happy with the price point as well.

Barrafina Adelaide Street is a culinary haven for modern Spanish tapas enthusiasts. The open kitchen adds a dynamic touch, allowing guests to marvel at the chefs' expertise. The chic marble-topped bar and vibrant red leather stools create a stylish ambience.

Our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The ham and goat cheese croquettes were a delightful start, followed by the unforgettable pork shoulder and a twist on the classic tortilla. Each dish showcased a perfect blend of flavours and creativity.

The service was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate. The staff's recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our overall enjoyment. The wine selection was phenomenal, complementing the dishes perfectly.

In summary, Barrafina Adelaide Street is a must-visit for those craving a modern Spanish tapas adventure.
