Excellent little Tapas bar, set in the busy Tooting market. Situated on a corner, so the dining bar is on the outer edge of the two sides. Seating is on both sides of the bar, so it is easy to sit opposite one's partner, or as a group. The market is extremely busy and buzzy, so noise level is quite high. A good selection of plates, and wines. On Tuesday there are three plates for £20, which is ample per person. I would advise booking for most days of the week.
