Food was outstanding. Service on the other hand was average at best. But still giving 5 stars for the food. Favorite dish was the monkfish, tomato and feta, fried goat cheese, and the croquettes. Try to get a table outside, it’s warm inside. Cute and charming atmosphere
Food is good. Everything we got we loved. Pretty small portions. After 86GBP for 2 adults and 2 toddlers we weren't hungry but it left us wanting more. They do recommend 3 tapas per person but I feel like we need 6 per person. London prices 🤣
This Tapas restaurant has great service especially the bubbly lady service personnel who makes you feel cheerful. Food is great too especially the Prawn fritters and Croquets! Definitely a place to go for a meal if you are near the Tower Bridge area.
Very cozy place to drink a beer and have some delicious tapas. I tried a little bit of everything. So far all the tapas were good but I recommend the patatas bravas and beef skewers.
Great food. Small tapas dishes.
Since I don’t do alcohol, I can’t say anything about wine.
Also. I don’t eat meat. But I didn’t have any trouble finding things I could eat. Plenty of veggie and seafood dishes available here.
There are not many other options on Bermondsey st. So, you might struggle a bit if you decide the queue at José is too much.
Delicious food and great atmosphere - a winning combination. The croquettes and pork were the highlights for us. Goats cheese with honey was very good but very rich!
As I continued my quest to try the various places Bermondsey street has to offer, I am yet to discover any flaws — José further proved this sentiment right.
I shared various of their tapas with my friend and heavily enjoyed the heavenly made food they provided, alongside the incredible service and delicious wine.
The atmosphere was phenomenal and not a single person wasn’t greeting us with a smile, and I can simply not wait to return and taste more!
Very cosy Spanish Restaurant. The waitress recommended 3 dishes per person but we only ordered 2 per person which is plenty for us. I would highly recommend the prawns and the Iberian Ham. They are very delicious. They would also provide bread for the prawns sauce. Very very nice. I do want to flag that there's quite a small space at the counters. But they brought the dishes one by one. So it wasn't a big issue.
Always an absolute pleasure. Fresh and simple tapas. Seasonal additions but always some firm favourites - croquettes and pain con tomate being our favourites.
Service exceptional, just no reservations so get there early if you want to secure yourself a table.
Quick pit stop for lunch and as always Jose didn’t disappoint. The black rice with squid was absolutely phenomenal and the tortilla + presa iberica was great too but slightly let down by the patatas bravas and tomato salad with tuna. The tomatoes were nowhere close to the red fresh huge tomatoes I have had in San Sebastián. Still amazing scene and worth a go!
We were very happy to have dinner in Jose tapas bar today. We ordered lots of different dishes to share, everything was fantastic. Especially croquettes, octopus and rosemary cheesecake. Definitely we will come back to try other dishes. Highly recommend to visit this place.
Great tapas dishes. Space is very limited, no place to hang bags or jackets.
The chilli garlic prawn is absolutely delicious.
Be careful they don’t take bookings and queuing is likely.
It was lovely to have tapas and so yummy.
Lively, cozy with great cocktails.
Came here for tapas with some friends, the waiter didn’t look too happy we didn’t have a reservation on a Tuesday night and we were advised there was a wait of about 15 mins for the table - totally fine - we ordered drinks for whilst we waited but they never came, even once we were seated they still never came. Once we had changed waitresses it was only then she realised. If I weren’t with friends, I prob would have taken the service off from the first unwelcoming waiter. However, big big shoutout to the pisto egg. Good vege options and the pisto egg stood out by far!
Had the various tapas, espresso liqueur and gluten free beer. Great food, great service and a vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Authentic spanish tapas, it is one of my friend's favourite restaurant in the area and I tag along on this trip (lucky me! Because I really won't know what to order as I don't know the language.) Their menu changes everyday apparently and their Iberico meats are one of the best I ever had too. I highly recommend this place! My favourite is the charred green peppers, I finished the whole plate by myself alone.
The food was really tasty and just what we expected from tapas & a sharing plate restaurant - the tomato bread was magnificent and light, and the presa was delicious! The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, the decor gorgeous. We were very satisfied customers
José is such a great spot on Bermondsey Street, a short walk from London Bridge station. We had a bottle of Rioja Blanco wine which was great. The food was authentic and delicious. Definitely try the patatas bravas and tortilla. The food came out quickly and the staff were friendly. There were a number of vegetarian options too.
