Absolutely fantastic experience at Pata Negra! We visited last night, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant and warm, making it the ideal spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. The food was simply amazing—each dish was packed with authentic flavours and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the owner made us feel so welcome with his personal touch. It’s rare to find a place that ticks all the boxes, but Pata Negra certainly does. We will definitely be returning soon! Highly recommended!

Was greeted in Spanish by the restaurant which was a lovely entrance. The restaurant is cosy and had an authentic feel. Great service from start to finish and a good choice of tapas and good portions to share. The wine was light and refreshing and the chorizo and goats cheese pepper was delicious. Definately worth coming back to this hidden gem.

Booked this place for some birthday Tapas with a small group of friends and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Food came out piping hot (warm tapas) and everything was delicious! Definitely a place to return to, whatever the occasion!

I love this place, it is worth visiting for the rabbit alone, which I was delighted to see back on the specials last night. If you are interested in substance over style and good traditional cookery this place is well worth a visit.

Best authentic tapas restaurant in London I have tried. Owned by an older Spanish gentleman. I have enjoyed many great tapas meals in Spain and this is of the same standard, hard to find real Spanish food in the UK. People complain mostly about the service or the owner. English people have a different expectation of service, in Spain there is a more relaxed attitude, so I think this is why people are complaining about the service... but I would rather have good food, and less service than good service but bad food, if you are a foodie, you must try this place.... it's a shame people people put bad reviews based off of the service, the food is exquisite and I don't have a problem with the service. Highly Recommended!
