Restaurant Reviews

53 The Cut, London SE1 8LF

This little corner of Spain in Waterloo is a family-run, longtime London institution. Inspired by the tapas bars of Madrid it serves up a classic menu of Spanish dishes with a range of changing specials by chef Christian.

137 Lower Marsh, London SE1 7AE

This self-styled 'quirky' wine bar is run by a pair who met up while working at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen. They're super keen on making wine accessible and the food menu is a good mix of interesting small and large plates.

14th Floor, South Bank, 40 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8NY

Perched on the top of The Hoxton in Southwark, Seabird is a great rooftop restaurant focusing on seafood with a Spanish influence. They go big on oysters, with one of London's largest oyster lists, and weekend brunches are big here too.

2.5, Top Floor, Kingly Ct, Carnaby St, London W1B 5PW

The team behind Panadera and Mamasons has brought Donia to Carnaby's Kingly Court. Co-founder Florence Mae Maglanoc promises a menu that blends the warmth of Filipino cuisine with modern British cooking, featuring dishes like prawn and pork dumplings with white crab.
