Reviews in London

Absolutely brilliant meal, especially the Eton Mess dessert. Five star.

I went with my wife on a Friday lunchtime for the first time in a long while and had a great time. Food was very tasty, wine and cocktails were excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. We live nearby in North Finchley and this is one of the best restaurants in the area. We will be coming back much more regularly from now on!

Food and service just lovely

If you are in this part of London, you must go for a meal here. The food was fabulous, the service faultless and on a Friday or Saturday night the music is really good. We love it here, every dish we ordered was perfect, I have to say the squid was exceptional. It is great value for money and a lovely lady called Maria is the manager who makes sure the food and service is top class. I can't wait to go back there.

I really enjoyed my first experience at this restaurant. We both had delicious fish - two different types and some sides. It was all beautifully cooked and really tasty. I will definitely be back. The only negative thing I would comment on is that service with a smile from one particular member of staff would have made our experience even better.

Had a fantastic first visit to this excellent restaurant on Saturday night. Terrific menu making it hard for all five of us to choose what to eat but all happy with our food and wine.

We were in London for a study trip with a group of 26 people. We ate at Barcelona Tapas on a Thursday evening and had the best experience. I pre-ordered a set menu for the group and this was served in several courses throughout the evening. Ordering additional dishes and additional desserts was also no problem. The food tasted as if in Spain and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for a good tapas restaurant I would certainly recommend coming here.

Our go to restaurant. The best seafood ever.

Blown away by the quality of food and service more akin to Mayfair but without the prices. We live 5 minutes away, drive past the place twice a day and have always said we must try this place one day. Last night was the night and it looks like Matthews Kitchen will now be a regular food spot for us. The Bouillabaisse was to die for as was the Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Excellent fresh seafood, quality of the dishes are fantastic, served beautifully and the service is enjoyable! Friendly and very attentive staff - been here a few times and they are always so smiley and passionate. For fresh fish and shellfish as well as veggy and meat option - the value for money is insanely cheap. You go central London and pay so much for not that great of dishes… thank you for always making our visits memorable and enjoyable!

Excellent food beautifully presented. Quiet atmosphere on a Saturday night which is rare. The menu range is small making it easy to order. Expensive.

The food was great. I must say though I am disappointed that we were not offered the set menu as we went on Sunday and it is available all day. We ordered food that was on that menu but we ended up paying full price. The only reason we are aware of this is due to sending me the link for a review.

Great service, warm and friendly family run place. Food was fantastic too, one of the best in the area will definitely be going back

Absolutely delicious food and great service. The octopus starter was juicy and full of flavour. The mussles were nice. The tuna steak mains and ribeye and lobster was amazing

Excellent paella. Service was great. Finished with an exceptional sherry. Fully recommended.

Not quite local but our go to restaurant for excellent food, warm and friendly welcome, great service and a fabulous venue

Excellent food and service

was so excited to bring my family here who were visiting from overseas but unfortunately we didn’t have a great time. came for the gluten free roast option but they were fully out of roasts by 6.30pm, and staff didn’t seem sure what else was gluten free on the menu. staff were not very welcoming, it was pretty hard to get a drink even though there wasn’t much of a line and the bartender didn’t seem very keen to make us cocktails. love the vibe in here usually but was a bit disappointed this time.
