La Movida
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
My husband and I come here every Sunday, weather permitting, after a trawl round Battersea boot fair, and we love it. It's friendly, the food is great and the atmosphere is superbly laid back. One of my favourite London restaurants and extraordinarily good value. Don't miss this gem!

La Movida is fantastic.
The cooking is authentic, well executed and brimming with flavour (due ostensibly to the fact they use wonderfully fresh ingredients). The tapas selection isn’t the most comprehensive or exciting (all the usual suspects are here) but what really stands out is the paella Valencia, it really is worth the wait and travel. Before you order the paella they tell you it will take 25 minutes which is a great sign that they’re not just throwing it in the microwave like so many other ‘Spanish’ restaurants.
This is a gem of a local restaurant, if you live in the area then do the right thing and support this excellent eatery. Restaurants like this rely upon the patronage of local residents, not that this should be a reason to visit; the food will have you coming back time and again as its heads and shoulders above the rest of the competition.

Fantastic local, great atmosphere and perfect paella. The wine list is spot on too.
