"It's brash and it's fun and it's different; and set in Soho, it can't fail. But authentic? Not really. But who cares? It works." READ REVIEW

"The quality of the food is staggering. Beautiful, golden, wet little eggy tortillas fried in their own pans; sizzling croquetas of cheese and ham, light and savoury and better than I have ever had in Spain..." READ REVIEW

Thomas Sutcliffe Independent
Reviewed on February 10, 2007
"There's nothing at all complex or elaborate here - just excellent ingredients and robust flavours that go very well indeed with the dry sherries and a short but intriguing wine list." READ REVIEW

"The only conceivable drawback with dining at Barrafina in weeks to come will be waiting for a stool at the bar. Word is rapidly spreading that this is a class act." READ REVIEW

"Bottom line, though: all pretty good. If there is a catch – and we think there is – it’s that old chestnut, pricing." READ REVIEW

Reviewed on January 17, 2007
"Quality of ingredients and precision in the cooking were unassailable and with both Eddie and Sam behind the bar bolstering the staff count, service was quick and efficient. They won't always be there of course." READ REVIEW

"My advice is save your pennies and take a weekend break in say Madrid or Valencia and see what tapas bars are really about." READ REVIEW
