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.

    Excellent service from start to finish. The food was delicious, full of flavour and authentic. Favourites were the blue cheese and spinach croquettes, the beef tenderloin medallions and the squid. The interior is intimate with great ambience. Can’t recommend a better place for Tapas!

    It was a very good service and amazing food. All the food is from Extremadura. As a Spanish person living abroad, it is amazing to find an authentic Spanish Restaurant. Also, there is food you can buy from the little shop from Extremadura!

    What a lovely place. Booked online based on reviews. Had no idea what to expect and we loved it. Lovely attentive service - authentically Spanish and the tapas were excellent quality. Simple, but beautifully done. Would highly recommend.
