Rayuela

"If you're craving authentic Spanish food in London then look no further than Rayuela in Ealing! Situated in the newly developed Dicken's Yard & easily accesibly by the Elizabeth Line this is truly one of my favourite spots to visit. The food is rich, hearty & packs a punch. The menu is extensive & ever evolving so each trip is exciting as I'm guaranteed a new dish to try out. Your meal can be paired with a classic Spanish beer (my husband's favourite), a variety of wines or a cocktail of your choice. However, the best part of the restaurant is not the food or the drinks but the service itself! The owner Miguel along with his chefs & staff are extremely knowledgable and welcoming - they make every visit a homely & warm experience."

"Rayuela is in many ways a unique restaurant- unique in terms of anything comparable in Ealing, unique in terms of its Spanish authenticity and unique in terms of its slightly quirky feel. It also offers first class food and drink served by people who really care. It is a gem."

"This is a local treasure here in Ealing. The food is both innovative and delicious and there is a fantastic buzz about the place. The menu is unusual as you ‘hopscotch’ your way through the courses but the proprietor and staff are on hand to help you compose a beautiful meal with intense flavours paired with a great range of amazing Spanish wines and Sherrie’s. Not to be missed."

"An outstanding restaurant, hidden in a small shopping mall in Ealing. Everything about the restaurant is excellent. You can see that only the highest quality products are used be that ingredients or wine. Service is outstanding and the owner is charm personified."

"I am a regular at Rayuela and cannot recommend it highly enough. The standard of ingredients, the excellent dishes and the authenticity of the menu is second to none. It is not cheap but that is because it is at fine dining levels and the cost reflects the food that is served. The service is also of an exceptional standard, always professional without being stuffy - in fact they are extremely friendly, warm and down to earth. Rayuela is by far the best restaurant in Ealing and I would highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates top notch Spanish cuisine."

"Finally a refined and stylish restaurant in Ealing! The food is wonderfully prepared and presented. Very flavoursome. Wines are top-notch and carefully selected. Service is very attentive and knowledgeable. highly recommended"

"The four of us enjoyed our visit. We arrived at 6.50pm and quite a few tables were taken. By the time we left just before 9pm it was full for the second sitting. The small plate of Jamon at £14 for 40gr was enjoyed and squid at £15 were very good. I found the salmon tartare in a half of avocado to be lovely - also £14. For mains the lamb cutlets £26 were very tasty. The Iberian pork £28 had a subtle flavour but the sauce was tasty. The grilled "veggies" at £7 were just OK. The patatas bravas were not great at £9.50. They did not stand up to the quality of the rest of the dishes. We have eaten much better elsewhere. We had one portion of cheese cake that we all tasted. It contained goats cheese and we loved it. We did not drink much alcohol - two small glasses of sherry at £12 each and one small glass of wine at £10.50. Service was good. With a service charge of 13.5% the bill per couple was £136.40. Almost all of the food was very good but we felt that overall the meal was a bit expensive. Rayuela is clearly popular and the locals of Ealing are lucky to have this place so close."
