London tapas suggestions

[shakotan]

Not been to any tapas bars in London, and I know they can be a bit 'hit and miss'.

So, PH suggestions please!

La Tasca. There's one near leicester square station

[Wadeski]

Brindisa?

[markomah]

Fino or Barrafina for me.

Never tried Brindisa but I've heard it recommended.

If you dont care about the quality then La Tasca is ok, But Bar Meza is prety good.

It isn't even that in my eyes.

It is Rubbish. With a capital R.

[Cactussed]

Agreed. La Tasca is pretty rubbish.
Brindisa at Borough Market is decent.

[Noger]

Another vote for Brindisia. Very tapas "bar" rather than restaurant.

Not really a fan of 'chain' places, due to additive laden, centrally processed and the reheated foodstuffs.

ETA, looks like lots of folks agree too! lol

It's not cutting-edge, but it's always decent.

Otherwise Barrafina and Lola Rojo (latter is out of town though).

Out to the west a bit, La Mancha in Putney is lovely.

he didnt ask for cutting edge. to be honest tapas isnt really proper food.

id only really go as a last resort and el pirata is as you say always decent.

[gregd]

It's more a Spanish/Moorish restaurant than a tapas bar but Moro is excellent (good cookbooks too)

Second vote for La mancha, almost there weekly when I lived in Putners

Barrafina is one of the nicest tapas places in London (but pricey) another cheaper alternative is Navarro's on Charlotte street
