Navarro’s is THE best Spanish tapas joint I’ve been to in London. Okay – admittedly it is also only the second one I’ve been to but I absolutely guarantee that this place will charm you and have you coming back for more.

Atmosphere-wise: The restaurant has two floors – the upstairs dining area shares the space with a deli and downstairs is nice and intimate. Both are decorated in genuine Spanish decor. The staff are friendly and amusingly dressed in national dress. Food-wise: The menu is extensive and varied and prices are reasonable. We regretted not going for a ‘brochette’ (giant hanging skewers of king prawns/lamb/chicken or mushroom) which we saw dangling on our neighbours table – good enough to snatch off their table but we behaved ourselves and promised the treat for next time.

You would be well served to book in advance, especially towards the end tail of the week.
