Tapas Restaurants

Recommended Posts

I wonder if anyone can recommend a good, reasonably priced Tapas Restaurant in and around East Dulwich or within easy public transport travel. I have noticed the one up Lordship Lane called Barcelona which seems very traditional, and there appear to be a few others, Herne Hill area but they all seem to be rather 'modern'. Traditional would be preferable.

They've opened in Brixton now - on Railton Road (opposite Electric Avenue) - not strictly a restaurant, more a deli where you can eat....

Yes, another nay-sayer for Barcelona, I'm afraid. Food is overpriced and overly-greasy, and the service appalling. We dropped by with our Tastecard one midweek evening, and asked if we could still use it despite not having booked (the place was practically empty). Our first waiter checked and agreed that this was fine, but once the bill came after a fairly disappointing meal, we noticed that the discount hadn't been applied. When we queried it, we were met with a degree of rudeness that included loud and embarrassing shouting, flinging our change across the table and onto the floor, and calling us names in Spanish! Absolutely gobsmacked! Certainly will not be going back.


Brindisa's fab, though - and the staff are super!

    • I see some possibly overloaded grandparents, with mobility issues, trying to help their overloaded daughter. They put some feelers out in anticipation of having to look after their grandson who, it seems, it extraordinarily smart and requires extra stimulation. A big ask all round. That they weren't yet aware of exact dates hardly warrants your complaints of time-wasting. 
    • The shops selling gifts, interior stuff and clothes all sell different gifts, interiors stuff and clothes. They don't all have identical items, which would be ridiculous. It's a  completely different situation. The coffee shops and restaurants mostly also have different vibes, different food etc and cater to different tastes and pockets. The two empanada places have virtually identical displays of identical looking empanadas. I don't think anyone has suggested this move is "malicious" - that would make it even worse. Cheeky, yes, given the proximity to the first shop. I agree this is good advertising, though most people in ED probably don't look at the ED Forum (I stand to be corrected). Re the "organic grocer", if it's the one on the same side as Chango, yes their snacks are very tasty.  Unfortunately we were short changed there on several occasions when calling in late at night, and were once asked  a ridiculous price for a few items (with no price tickets on the snacks) so we don't go there any more. Hopefully these were all genuine mistakes, and hopefully things have improved since their refurb.
    • Makes sense though… or do you not think so? Can’t book anything without dates!!
