I can't believe I've never written about this place before. After a long ago valentines date, a house meal out, a birthday date with the Mr and a girlie night out with P, I'm finally sitting down to write about the place where I ate the best meal of my life! It sounds like a gross exaggeration. But when I think about it. I don't think I've had so many different tastes, textures and flavours in one meal that worked oh so well together The incredible underground haven is 'Iberico World Tapas' having its pride of place underneath the crime and punishment museum in lace market. This place is far from a punishment but could definitely be likened to a crime. The idea is they've taken the normal Spanish tapas restaurant and added some foods of the world. Food from England, food inspired by the Far East, American style chicken wings and green inspired lamb. You're in the basement, in a small alcove. A delicious wine menu is offered and a little advise with regards to the menu. Definitely ask for some help as they just want you to enjoy all it has to offer The recommendation is that you have a ham platter and a cheese platter. Either the 'world ham or the Spanish ham' likewise with the cheese. I've tried both. They're both fantastic. Then it's choosing from the huge variety of dishes. The 'inside out chicken wings' are a must. The beef kebabs also a fantastic recommendation. Most recently I indulged in the mussels and I'd say if you're a fan of mussels give them a try. You'll never want plain mussels again! We tried the mushroom carpaccio. Served in a cool wooden platter Here are the infamous chicken wings When I went with P we tried the express dinner menu. It's just 14.95 and you get Catalan bread (like bruschetta - I had olives) two tapas dishes and a pudding The pudding was definitely worth it even if we were a little full. I had a strawberry parfait P had a cotton cake! Exciting ! She said it was incredibly smooth The 'Express menu' really is fantastic value
Jamón Croquetas, burnt aubergine, Manchego – with a delightfully crisp coating, containing a generous amount of ham and a dreamily thick béchamel, these were the best croquetas I’ve had. The burnt aubergine cream and sharp shallots added an interesting dimension to the dish; although, nice through they were, I found the Manchego wafers a little too strong to compliment.
I bookes table for my birthday and they welcome me by a orange cocktail . It’s really nice, I love the salmon, chicken wing out. Staff really nice. Love it !!
Tremendous experience. Good value and tasty food, helpful service and a nice atmosphere. Really happy with our meal!
Exquisite tastes, excellent service. We were there for dinner and we will definitely return next time we are in Nottingham.
Everything we ordered was as expected. The lamb amazingly cooked, the inside out chicken wings are the best chicken wings I ever ate. The goat cheese, beetroot tapas were a favourite too. And the Catalan cheesecake was a dream!
Pleasantly surprised to see the wine list brings wines from North Macedonia.
The waiters were very attentive, we were made to feel so welcome.
Never left with an empty glass or a need unfilled!
The food was not only the best tapas I've ever eaten but some of the best food I've ever eaten... I couldn't pick a favourite but the mushrooms were AMAZING!
I am a bit picky with good food and good service but I honestly couldn't find a fault.
We cant wait to come back!!!
Had a wonderful birthday dinner here! After visiting Iberico several times before we'd been wanting to come here for ages after hearing good things.. and the wait didn't disappoint! Really refined, tasty tapas. Extremely well priced! Great wine to pair. Felt very lucky to receive a complimentary drink too for my birthday! Lovely vegetarian options, we all had all bar one dish vegetarian between us.
An exceptional meal. I took my other half out for a birthday meal and we had the most beautiful food, well presented and delicious. Great service and engafing waitresses too. We will return.
Amazing food & service. Perfect to celebrate with someone/small group. The 72hrs marinated miso black cod and pork belly is recommended
Had SUCH an incredible meal here, great flavours, nice portion sizes and friendly staff. The venue felt like you were in a taverna / cave and the value for money was exceptional. Love that they had vegan churros too!
Visited here for the first time last night. The venue, the food,the atmosphere and the staff were absolutely fantastic. We weren't rushed at all and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. The food was cooked to perfection and the servings were very generous. Can't praise it highly enough.
Had a anniversary dinner with my partner in the only one Michelin bib Gourmand restaurant in Nottingham.
The service was warm and welcoming.
Food was with expected high quality and presentation as shown in photo
The pork belly and steak was my favorite
Pork belly coming with spicy sauce
Steak with miso egg yolk was a good choice too
We spend £72 in total for 2pp
7 tapas, 2 port, 1 dessert
Would come back again and try the other dishes.
Thoroughly enjoyable tapas. Well worth the walk in the rain. Good size portions and both the sea bream and mackerel were cooked to perfection. Sadly no dessert photos. Too full! Good service and helpful staff.
The best tapas restaurant in Nottingham.
Gets quite busy so best booking first.
The chicken inside-out wings is a must and has been a favourite for years.
Really enjoyed the food, and the ambiance at the location. Service was good, and the food came out at a steady pace, so we had always got at least one plate to be getting on with. I will certainly be going back.

Amazing place, we went with my husband and daughter! The food was brilliant and really tasty! The prices were great for the quality of the food!
What a lovely spot! Had a fantastic meal here last night and enjoyed every single dish! Great selection of classic Spanish tapas and really good portions sizes. Service was superb (forgot to ask for the name of the gentleman who served us). Will certainly be back soon!
Very nice ambience, perfect for a date. A reservation is recommended. The tapas came in fairly generous portions, good flavours, perfectly prepared padron peppers and patatas bravas, but my personal favourite were the prawns.
