Disappointing experience and poor value for money Unfortunately, I left Barcelona Tapas feeling quite disappointed. The food was expensive for what we received, with portions being noticeably small and the overall quality not really matching the prices. The service also left a lot to be desired. Staff weren’t particularly attentive throughout the meal, and when we did ask questions, they didn’t seem especially knowledgeable about the menu or the dishes. For a tapas restaurant, I don’t mind paying a little more when the food, service and experience justify it, but on this occasion I didn’t feel that was the case. The combination of small portions, average-quality food and inattentive service made it feel poor value for money. There are plenty of places in London where you can get better tapas and a much better overall experience for the same money. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t rush back.

Kennington Tandoori – South LondonDelicious food and the staff is really friendly, can’t go wrong with Barcelona Tapas, it never disappoints
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityBarcelona Tapas never disappoints, which is why I keep going back. Service is as fast or as relaxed as you wish it and the staff are delightful, polite and everything is done with a smile. Huge range of food options which are of a very high standard. Great atmosphere. Love it.
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityCome here a couple of times for special occasions. Great food and atmosphere. All the dishes we selected were delicious. Staff really warm , welcoming and provided brilliant service. Came with a baby in a pram on a Thursday night and they accommodated us. Surprised by the bad reviews as have been here a few times over the past two years and have always had a wonderful evening and the friends/family we bring equally enjoy the experience
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityThis used to be one of my favourite spots but we turned up and it was empty and then the food was bang average sadly.
Sea Garden and Grill – TootingFood ok not great? Service appalling we were there 30 mins before we got a drink and that’s because we went in and asked if we could be served!! Would not go back
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityWent back specifically for Chef Thomas' Caribbean roast. Everything was 10/10, experienced his roast a few times and I've never been disappointed! Highly recommended me! Drinks were okay - glasses could've been cleaner. New manager was super friendly :) As long as Chef Thomas is in the kitchen - ill be visiting!
Rising Sun – Belgravia and PimlicoExcellent food! I spent good times in Barcelona tapas, very kind the staff. I will return in my next visit to London !
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityToday 28/8/26 we visited Laduree in the Burlington Arcade. We ordered one Earl Grey Tea and one Caffe Mocha . The staff had no idea what a Mocha was and brought hot chocolate instead. The Tea had gobbles of fat running over the top . Not the usual standard at all
Laduree UK Ltd – North LondonDuring a visit to London we decided to go to Mona's after reading previous reviews and seeing they had a 5 star hygiene rating. It didn't disappoint, The decor was charming and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Then there was the food!! The Indian/ Turkish fusion works beautifully, and all cooked to perfection . We had the Thali platter, and enjoyed it so much that we went back again another day during our trip. Highly recommended this little gem to anyone!! We will revisit next time we're in London.
Mona’s – MaryleboneWe had a great evening here where we met friends and family. Food was lovely , service friendly and timely and ambiance good. We will return. Thank you.
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityEXCELLENT. Are you thinking of going to MONA's? Well, stop thinking and just go! Great food, far better than the standard Indian Restaurant food usually provided, especially in London. Very good selection of vegan/veggie options, as well as meat. Absolutely fantastic service - impeccable. AND they learned it was my partner's birthday and brought her some celebratory desert with candles! Very happy, highly recommended.
Mona’s – MaryleboneFood excellent as was service Had house in Spain 27 years and food took us back there We back in London in October this year and think we take our family there
Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante – CityThe food and cocktail was amaxing but the service is VERY VERY SLOW due to management not hiring enough staff to support the young lady forced to do it alone. I felt sorry for her! The poor girl! They probably don't even pay her enough either! Disgraceful slave labour if you ask me!
Sea Garden and Grill – TootingSuch a lovely restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the whole place feels so cozy and beautifully decorated. There’s a really good variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions. Everything was full of flavour and clearly made with care. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try!
Mona’s – MaryleboneWe chose Patty & Bun for my friend's post-birthday celebration. The staff were super nice! They provided recommendations on the menu and was really attentive on what we needed. In the end, we had Cheese Balls, on the house, which I recommend. This is our favourite burger place.
