Harden's says
In Turnmill Street, Farringdon, the former Iberica tapas bar rebranded following a takeover in early 2025.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Reliable tapas in handy locations” is the USP of this 16-year-old trio with a flagship near King’s Cross station (by far the best known) and offshoots in Shoreditch and Monument. But while they’re “decent enough”, they offer “standard fayre” – it’s “nothing exceptional”.
Summary
“Reasonable enough tapas, with all the standard dishes” help make this long-running Hispanic trio into “decent” value and also quite “fun” options. The original and best-known branch is “tucked away incredibly close to King’s Cross station, which makes it very handy for a meet-up” (with Shoreditch and Monument also useful addresses).
Summary
“You can’t knock a place that does good morcilla” – and for “great food that won’t break the bank”, the “consistently high standards” at this small Hispanic group win it a small but enthusiastic following. The Bankside branch closed since our last edition, leaving the King’s Cross original, plus Shoreditch and Monument.

Camino Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Lovely staff. Not much different in decor from Ibérica days. Sadly, food not great. Steak was grisly and overcooked, "
"The former Iberica (RIP) has been taken over by small Spanish bar group Camino. The tapas and Spanish food are fine (much shorter menu than Iberica) but the best thing about this place is the room: tall ceilings, exposed brickwork, tiled floor - it is a cool and lovely spot. "
