Spanish Restaurants in Fitzrovia
1. Ember Yard
Spanish restaurant in Soho
60 Berwick Street - W1
2021 Review: Up-and-down reports on this “lovely” Soho haunt, specialising in wood-fired, Mediterranean, grilled dishes – part of Salt Yard Group (all of which was absorbed into the Urban Pubs portfolio in November 2018). Fans applaud the “delicious tapas from this ever-reliable family” but quite a few reports express disappointment: “maybe there’s a sense it isn’t quite what it was”.
2. Salt Yard
Spanish restaurant in Fitzrovia
54 Goodge St - W1
“Despite now being part of a rolled-out chain, they have managed to maintain good quality” at these tapas-haunts, whose original branch off Goodge Street was an early pioneer of the capital’s trend to small plates. A minor gripe is of “packed” seating, but most feedback focuses on their “delicious food and well-thought-out wine list”.
3. Barrica
Spanish restaurant in Fitzrovia
62 Goodge St - W1
2022 Review: “A wonderful menu with a good choice of tapas to suit all tastes” again wins recommendations for this buzzy and good-value bar on Goodge Street.
4. Ibérica
Spanish restaurant in Fitzrovia
195 Great Portland St - W1
“Decent tapas for the price” – with “all the usual suspects (patatas bravas, padron peppers, tortilla, croquettas)” – win praise for this Hispanic quartet, now well into their second decade. These days the cooking is reckoned “competent”, if “not up to the earlier standards” – perhaps a reflection of improved competition. Top Menu Tip – “it’s worth checking out the vegetable dishes” (“with some left-field options for the adventurous; the beetroot with coffee was great!”)
5. Arros QD
Spanish restaurant in
64 Eastcastle Street - W1W
“A joy!” – paella cooked over a wood fire in the Valencian style, “so drier than some you may have had before” – is the headline attraction at this London outpost from superstar Spanish chef Quique Dacosta. But “sublime starters – beef cheeks, Atlantic squid and pork jowl” also really hit the spot on an “unexpected” menu. The location just off Oxford Street does little to attract custom, although it is a “good place to host in the private dining room”.
6. Maresco
Spanish restaurant in Soho
45 Berwick Street - W1F
“Heavenly seafood” adds to the appeal of this “cosy restaurant” in Soho serving “lovely tapas” (with an emphasis on fish). It’s the third venue specialising in Scottish seafood presented Spanish-style (after Bar Esteban in Crouch End and Escosesa in Stoke Newington) from Glasgow-born Stephen Lironi, who switched careers after starting out as a musician in Scottish post-punk band Altered Images, alongside his wife Clare Grogan.
