    A little Spanish restaurant near Camden, with little charm but a brilliant menue. The venue itself is not representative of the quality of the food you will get from the chef. From sea food to veggie tapas, everything is tasty, surprising... Like every Spanish cuisine it's a bit oily, but you can treat yourself with a great diversity of dishes for every tastes. Not cheap though... but not too expensive either. Worth going there as a group and share. it is a small restaurant, so you'd better book in advance.

    BEST tapas in London
    Current
    Yes, THE best of the best and an all time favourite. If I started to write about it properly my rave would spread over 40 pages.

    Enough said!

    I went to El Parador for a birthday dinner for 12 people. The main reason for choosing it was the universal approval of the reviews below and the fact that it’s close to Koko for some follow-up partying. I’ve had some pretty good tapas in Spain and in London. El Parador is right up there with the best of them, adding a slight French and seasonal twist to you standard gambas and patatas bravas (we didn’t order any of that on the night). The artichoke and pomegranate dish is superb as is the duck and the lamb tapas. The variety is large, but not overwhelming and the house red, surprisingly good. You can also order sufficient amounts to fill you up, without spending the equivalent to a flight to Barcelona.
    The service was efficient and friendly. The decor is quite Spartan. If you were to talk past the El Parador there is little chance you would have guessed the quality that lies behind the simple window and white, plain interior.
    So this is a definite recommendation for just a simple meal, a romantic evening with your other half or a party of up to 20 people. What I find amazing is that 15 meters up the road is Asakusa, my favourite Japanese. So there you go. Two true hidden gems one next to each other in not the most likely of places. To borrow some guidance form Michelin, they are both worth a detour from your travels and if you’re in London then a dedicated trip won’t let you down.

    Small and cramped but brilliant atmosphere. The owners are really friendly and have allowed us to have an outside table even on not hot days! The bean puree with bread for starters is amazing and our favourite. The menu does change depending on seasons, but if there is any dish with chicken thighs, sweet potato mash (or any mash to be honest) and prawns order them! I hear the meatballs are brilliant as well but have never tried as they are made from pork. It is a grotty area but was great when working around the corner from there. Highly recommended tapas restaurant.

    This intimate Camden Town tapas restaurant offers an extensive menu, including over a dozen vegetarian tapas; an excellent wine selection covering Spain, Italy and South America; gorgeous dessert; and service is usually friendly.

    Dinner (2 or 3 tapas) with wine and dessert will cost around 20-30/person

    Currently (Mar 2007) offering a 3-for-2 tapas lunch special.

    Located two minute from the Mornington Crescent Tube station.

    BEST TAPAS EVER
    Current
    OK it's not the most romantic of places but for an intimate gathering of friends this is the best tapas venue in town! The food is AMAZING, menu regularly changes and the specials are irresistible. Also it is really, really good value - probably average about 15 per head even when ordering excess food. The decor is pretty basic and the area/neighbourhood (near Mornington crescent) not the most desirable, but for the brave it is definitely worth it.
