    Food was brilliant but tables for 4 were so small that it wasn’t possible to get plates and glasses on the table at the same time, the waitress was very helpful but we ended up with backache after the meal. Prices were a little steep but the quality was very good

    Been many times, but probably the last. Food ok, but sat at door - despite requesting a better seat for a special occasion. Poor value for money too. Sadly may not be back

    Condesa proved to be an absolute gem. Every dish was a winner, but the pork belly tacos and the hummus and pumpkin seed tostadas were especially delicious. Friendly and helpful service and reasonable prices just added to the experience. Would highly recommend this cozy and slightly eclectic tapas bar.

    Food was good although portions were small even for tapas. The best thing was pork belly tacos. The place is small and quaint, and the wait staff was great. All in all a nice place.

    Food was nice - spicy tuna was my favourite, but felt could do with a bit more salt across the board. Service was nice and friendly and really nice atmosphere. Thanks!

    My partner and I had dinner on a Saturday night. We loved this little place and the ambience was relaxed and lovely. We ordered three dishes to share which was just right for 2 people and the food quality was really good. All I'd say is that the sirloin portions weren't very generous. Other than that, the octopus and pork were delicious. As a Spaniard, it's great to have a cold, refreshing beer in central London! Great service too!
