Great for an occasion dinner and great for a casual catch-up. The staff is really great and funny. Their meals are great. What's not to like. I'm going back to try the rest of the menu
The restaurant's name refers to a Spanish city in Extremadura and serves food from that region. The dishes, such as croquetas with champignons, puntillitas, fried boquerones, gazpacho, pluma were delicious. Some others, such as fried champignons and patata bravas less so but still tasty. The presentation of the food was generally great and you can accompany it with (apparently) house made vino dulce Pedro Jiménez which also tasted very authentic. The downside is that the place is small with the tables squeezed closely next to each other and that the desserts are not very interesting, only two options in fact.
One of the best paella in town. Good service. Staff was very nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean and bright. Good with kids, kid’s chair is available. Highly recommended.
Best tapas on Upper Street.
Drinks - nice selection of spirits, cocktails & beers.
Staff - service efficient and friendly. You’re not rushed for your table back either.
Food - lovely! The cooked meat & fish dishes are sublime. Love the cheese & meat platters too. Lots of vegetarian options as well
Nice little restaurant in Upper Street with traditional Spanish tapas.
My favourite dish was the spinach & blue cheese croquetas, 10/10!
The secreto was also very good but I found the prawns a bit too salty.
Lovely traditional tortilla with a soft center and the extra Virgin olive oil was to die for!
The total bill was £80 with a bottle of Albariño.
Fernando took exceptional care of us. We enjoyed our discussions of travel, places to stay in Spain, travel and culture in general. The Tappas were fantastic! We had the Queso with the Smoked Paprika, Olives, Chorizo, Peppers, and the Ribeye. All were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing them. Lerena is excellent and definitely worth a visit!
After trying it, this is now my favourite Spanish restaurant. I was really impressed by the high quality of food and particularly liked the Spinach & Blue Cheese Croquetas, and Churros! Highly recommended 👌
What a pleasant surprise to find this lovely Spanish tapas bar/restaurant! After a long flight (due to 4.5 hours delay), we had our first meal in London and enjoyed the flavor, atmosphere and the live sound of Spanish guitar. Everything was perfect!
This is just lovely. It have everything you would hope of Madrid Tapas bar.
The food is lovely, very simple and elegant. Like everything simple in presentation the skill is hidden and unassuming. We have been there twice now and will enjoy many more evening there in the future.
Myself and my partner had a lovely evening here on a Saturday night.
Food was delish and portion sizes were perfect, there wasn’t long of a wait either.
The atmosphere and setting is lovely.
What made our night the most enjoyable, was the incredible and attentive service from our waitress, Charlie.
Highly recommend, looking forward to coming back.
Excellent Spanish tapas restaurant in Islington, North London. Really, really good food, and nice wine.
Fernandez is so lovely. Great dining experience all around. Lovey local spot on upper street.
We stopped in for a late bite. While casually checking the menu some people leaving the restaurant said it was great. Boy was it. They offer a stunning selection of tapas which my wife and I greatly enjoyed. From simple dishes well presented to more complex flavours it was all very good. Not a huge choice of desserts but what they do they really do well.
Our waiter was very friendly, gave great advice and was a fun guy. The place itself is well decorated. Go with company, have great food and a fun time.
Nice and lively place with an earthy theme. The staff member was really nice and gave us some excellent recommendations and I was happy to find a nice tapas place with a nice atmosphere. I would really recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice Spanish place with lively neighbourhood atmosphere and good vegetarian options!
A fairly buzzing if small restaurant offering rather good, freshly made tapas, albeit from a not too extensive menu... But excellent cooking and friendly, occasionally elusive, service, matched with a decent wine list make for a good night out. Worth a visit.
Recently ate here. Was welcomed by a very friendly lady behind the bar with nice glasses. The restaurant is on the small side but the food was amazing. Staff we’re excellent and took good care of us. Price reasonable for the area. Not one to usually leave reviews but as the staff were so
warm and friendly I decided to. 4.5/5
