Brian's Reviews

Busy and bustling canteen-style restaurant in the Metropolitan Railway Arcade close to Liverpool Street station. The staff are, if anything, over-attentive in their relentless quest to get you fed, watered and out as soon as possible, but once you become accustomed to waving them away, you can take as long as you like – and it's never a problem getting their attention when you need a top-up! Seating is communal and no place for a quiet tete-a-tete – you might end up banging elbows with some rather loud FOREX types from the surrounding banks, but at least they can be entertaining to listen to!

My favourite branch of this excellent Tapas chain, thanks to its fresh decor, buzzing environment – and above all, superbly attentive service. While it lacks the open space and balcony of the Middlesex Street branch, this is more than made up for by the overall dining experience. The food remains the best Tapas in the City, with a vast range and very reasonable pricing meaning that your table is never quite big enough for all the plates you ordered…
