    The food and wine were as good as always. We’ve been here numerous times and still find the menu exciting. It’s hard to choose from so many delicious dishes. Highlights are the tortilla, sliders, scallops and croquettes. It soon adds up when you order the pricier dishes but it’s such good food, it’s worth it!

    Beautiful tapas. The staff were attentive and went the extra mile to make my 5 year old welcome. Looking forward to returning next time I’m in London.

    Welcomed and enjoyed a white port in the bar before being showed to our table. Perfect table by the window. Rioja and choice of pinxos and tapas delicious especially prawns in garlic. Thoroughly recommend this wonderful restaurant… a true Portugese restaurant and haven in the heart of the busy West End. Thank you.

    Fantastic choice of food and all delicious. Just the right size of plates, if you are looking for quantity vs quality do not come here! The staff are knowledgable and always happy to answer questions and give advise. Excellent choice of wine but the House Rioja was delicious A memorable meal and we shall be back .......again!

    A cosy and atmospheric Tapas bar in theatre land. Tiny restaurant with candlelit wooden tables, lovely atmosphere. A warm welcome and very friendly service made the lunch an enjoyable and relaxing affair. Huge selction of traditional tapas on the menu,, very well priced; we enjoyed sampling new ones. Recommend the spinach with goats cheese. Will definitely eat here again.
