This “fabulous Spanish cellar-bar” is a long-term attraction in the Lace Market with “quality cooking”, “vaulted ceilings and perfect service” which makes it “just right for special occasions”. A spinoff tapas bar in Hockley is not so highly regarded.

This “buzzy tapas bar”, in a “lovely vaulted-ceiling basement” in the Lace Market, serves “a tremendous variety” of “authentic Spanish dishes”. A “cheerful” fixture for more than 15 years, it’s “probably the first choice for tapas in the area” – and “you can have the menú del día for not much more than a tenner”. There is also a spin-off in Hockley.

“London-quality tapas in a really atmospheric setting” makes this buzzy and well-priced Lace Market cellar “a real gem” when you’re in the market for a “creative, inventive” meal. The more casual Carlton Street spin-off is also lauded for its “great value” and (appropriately) speedy ‘Menu Rapido’.

“Amid the hustle and bustle of Nottingham Lace Market”, this “go-to” cellar in a historic building elicits real raves for its “London-quality tapas” and “lively” atmosphere. A “cheaper and cheerful” no-reservation sibling, on Carlton St, is also a hit.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
