Maria's Tortilla - East Dulwich.


Recommended Posts

We went last night just for a glass and a couple of pieces of tapas before heading down the road for drinks. Maria is charming and full of warmth. I hope that people will support it - not as swanky as some of the other restaurants in this foodie part of ED but great intention.

Well, it would be nice, but no! Was thinking of kids tea. The gap at Miss Tapas means it isn?t so practical. Went to Maria?s Tortilla today. It?s nice. Prefer Miss Tapas, but Maria?s is a great addition to Lordship lane and it?s nice to have a different option.

Indeed it is open and it is an excellent bar. Fashioned like a typical Spanish bar, where you have your tapas as a side to your drink, not viceversa!

Glorious tortillas (the original Spanish omelette with several flavours), croquetas, pintxos...Mar?a also a very friendly owner. Worth a visit and repeat.

I?ve added Maria?s Tortilla to Tripadvisor as its a welcome addition to the lane and the more places its mentioned that people might look the more chance it has of being there in the future when we want to go again. If you can add reviews to the Tripadvisor entry that would be good - new places are mentioned on the forum but then threads are not updated and it gets difficult to find out about them. Here?s what we thought of it.


?This is a bar not a restaurant and less foodie than recent additions to Lordship Lane. It?s good at what it does.


Like most places on Lordship Lane it?s small. There are three low tables, three or four high tables for two and seats at the bar.


There are drinks menus on the table and the food - tapas and pinxos- is written on a blackboard at the end of the bar. There is a good selection of wine by the glass.


Tortilla was so good we finished it so quickly Maria thought we hadn?t had it. The sauce on the Patatas bravas was quite smoky. Pisto (ratatouille) had too much tomato for us.


A welcome addition and Maria was very friendly. Prices reasonable for tapas. Dishes ?2.50 for an individual snack, ?4-?6.50 for a tapas to share.


We?ll be back?

A shout out for the excellent Maria's Tortilla. Dropped in for the first time yesterday and definitely intend to go often! My glass of wine was delicious, so was my plate of food, and good value too. Also a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Fully recommend it...

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
