Tapas Brindisa

The food was too salty. I told the manager and he did everything to hide himself from the fact. Didn't even try to give me an explanation. Have been really disappointed from a restaurant I liked the first time. This is something that happens very frequently in London. Should not come there again.

I have dined at Brindisa Borough Market numerous times ( 10 or 11 ) over the years. Last Saturday 19 Dec was the last time I, or my friends, and probably all of their friends, will ever eat there. This is a restaurant heading for the skids if ever I saw one. It doesn't deserve to remain in business. The menu hasn't changed in years and is dull, ( can tapas not be innovative and fun ? ) the portions are mean and too expensive for the meagre plates offered, the toilets were filfthy on my visit. A plate of cured fish at £12 was mean beyond belief...more wilted green leaf than fish; butter beans with chorizo bacon at £8 was a few lardons tipped on top of luke warm beans ( straight from the tin presumably? ) hey had not been cooked together in my opinion - tastleess and insulting.

Country Toast with Tomato at £2.60 a slice was what it said: a piece of ghastly sliced supermarket bread with a rub of garlic and horrible tinnned tomato slopped on. Lazy and insulting. The staff seemed more interested in to hard selling alcohol to the point where it was decidedly ugly: trying to get your customers drunk is contemptible at any time and not acceptable EVER!

If you want badly executed food, mean portions at over-inflated prices, dirty toilets, and bad service: look no further. Worst restaurant in London ?

Was taken there for my birthday and it was nothing less than excellent. The atmosphere was brilliant and the bar and waiting staff were friendly, efficient and very willing to help. The host, Camilo, was straightforward, he explained how the restaurant works and invited us to have a drink at the bar. The food was superb, I can recommend the mont enebro goats cheese with honey! four of us had about 12 tapas including the life changing joselito ham , with quite a few beers and a bottle of red recommended by the attentive waiter Daniele which came to over £100 but it was well worth it! been there many times and would definitely go there again.

Absolutely laughable service. To the point where our party actually thought the server was *JOKING*, he was so rude. Avoid at all costs; Brindisa hates their customers.

Saturday night at Brisinda was always going to be busy but after a 30 minute wait and a couple of glasses of wine next door our table was ready at the promised time.

Service was good and very friendly and all dishes ordered came out quickly.

The menu is not the largest so it was disapointing that so many dishes had run out by 8.30pm. No pork belly, No ham croquettes ( my favorite ), no potato omlette etc .

Anyway the food we had was good with special praise for the goats cheese with orange honey.

Overall a pretty good.
