Nestled in the vibrant heart of Farringdon, London, Ibérica offers an authentic Spanish tapas experience that transports diners straight to the lively streets of Madrid. With its warm, inviting ambiance and a menu bursting with flavor, this restaurant is a must-visit for food lovers seeking a taste of Spain in the UK. The lively atmosphere, complemented by a curated selection of wines and classic cocktails like sangria, makes it an ideal spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.

We had dinner here tonight at the last seating of the evening (9pm) on a Friday.  We were promptly seated and were soon greeted by a server.  The atmosphere was lovely and the menu offered an array of tapas options.  

The portion sizes were definitely on the smaller tapas side. The food was good, but some of the plates lacked depth of flavor.  The olives and croquettes were nice, but the papas bravas and shrimp were bland.  Unfortunately they were out of a number of items (no peppers, bread (!), or espresso (?)).

The service was respectful but distant/inattentive.  We were often waiting longer than we would have preferred to order food or for plates to arrive.  Don't plan on a quick meal!  

The churros and chocolate cake were both lovely.

It is always with great happiness that I visit iberica. It is a fabulous Spanish restaurant if you are in London and want a genuine Spanish tapas experience the. This is the place to go! Food is amazing and a good wine list. Staff are very friendly and helpful! 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This is the newest addition to the Iberica franchise. Executive chef Nacho Manzano has Michelin Stars to his name and the food does reflect that. 

The restaurant is located in an old building right outside of Farringdon Station. The whole dining room is filled with old world charm with heavy wood furniture, leather bar chairs and old paintings. 

My friend and I went there for Sunday brunch, which supposedly is a good time, because the restaurant is usually quite packed. My friend was in the mood for seafood and chicken paella, so we ordered it for the table and then some small dishes while we wait for it. We went for those classic tapas dishes: bread with olive oil and tomatoes, Padron peppers and Jamon croquettes. They turned out to be really good, especially the croquettes, 100% creamy deliciousness. I was quite happy at this point and then came the highlight of the meal. I honestly think this is the best paella I have tasted. The seafood was nice, the chicken was super tasty, but the rice was simply outstanding with so much flavor. The only thing that made the meal less perfect was that we didn't have room for dessert. Rumor has it their churro was to die for. Well, I will have to die next time. 

Our server was really attentive as well. Best part of it all was that the bill was quite reasonable. This is a restaurant worth traveling for.

I always love the idea of tapas, but often find the reality a little disappointing (maybe I've been going to the wrong restaurants!). Not this time, however. I found every dish delicious, from the creamy, salty, ham croquettes to the ingenious chorizo "lollipops", and the huge, succulent grilled prawns. I would definitely recommend going as a group and ordering a range of dishes to share. The food was surprisingly cheaper than I was expecting, our bill came to just over £20 for the food each (including dessert) and we had a lot of dishes between us.

The drinks were also good. I started off with a sangria (again, something I can find hit or miss depending on the restaurant), which I thought was delicious. The house red, at £5 a glass, was also decent and reasonably priced.

The service and the ambiance also could not be faulted. All in all, this is perhaps the best tapas place I've been to in the UK and I will definitely be back again.

We went for dinner and absolutely loved everything. 

We ordered a starter of hams, followed by mains of octopus, fried chorizo, seafood risotto, croquettes and spinach. Everything was elegant and mouthwatering. Perhaps the highlight of the meal was our sangria. It was possibly the best I've ever had -- apparently, some people have commented that the sangria here is as good as, if not better than, what they got in Spain. 

Service was phenomenal. They were prompt in serving us and kind enough to chat too. 

Lastly, ambience was very posh. A bit reminiscent of Hawksmoor but more refined and Spanish, of course. 

All in all, I'd love to go back -- but be mindful, it is quite pricey!

Came here for late dinner for one.  Sat at the bar, was not greeted nor service not even a glass of water.  Subaquently order full meal and was moved to a table where one of my dishes was never served even after I checked in twice with two different waiters.  Food is also overpriced for the quality.  The prawn angel hair tasted and looked like a microwave tv dinner meal

I went here for Valentine's day. The staff are super friendly and even helped us pick. The cocktails were a bit too strong. All the food was. Delicious but I felt a couple of dishes were over priced for what they were. I think this would have been better if we were a larger party and I would have liked to have tried more.

I booked my companies Christmas party here and have returned on a number of occasions. Really delicious, authentic Spanish tapas, mahou beer and G&Ts. They were really accomodating to a large party, and the croquettes were a highlight of the meal.

Beautiful interior and nice tapas. I recommend the asparagus toast, the creamy seafood black rice, and the patatas bravas. All were very tasty and decently sized portions for tapas. The service was very attentive and they didn't make you feel pressured to over order (as many tapas places do.) They also had a decent wine list that had some solid, cheap options. Free olives to start with was also a nice touch! I would recommend making a reservation even for small groups during the week as this place is quite popular with the after work crowd.

We went during prime dinner time on a Friday and the place was packed! They were more than accommodating, allowing us to wait around and have a drink before placing us at a bar table. Our server was prompt and friendly, giving recommendation upon recommendation! I had the champagne sangria and it was great (If you like sweet drinks!). For dinner I started with the Patatas Bravas and ended with the Gloria Cachapo (Fried beef and Iberia pork patty filled with cheeses and mushrooms). The food was incredible and the ambience was great. We stayed for hours!
