This is one of my favourite places to each Spanish Tapas.. I did notice that the menu had changed, less options but it wasn't an issue, still a lot of my favourite dishes. The staff here are very efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable and I love the food. The only other difference was that all our dishes came together, in the past they came as and when they were ready in typical tapas style. None of this detracted from our experience, we had a great time. The restaurant always has a great buzz about it, I look forward to visiting soon

We had a great evening at Lobos. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We would have liked to have stayed bit longer but our table was needed - understandable as it was a busy evening before Christmas . We'll definitely be back!

Really loved my first trip here, and will book it again. We were delayed in getting a seat, but it was a busy friday and the team were very kind and apologetic, and we weren't in a hurry. The food was great, the advice was helpful, everything was quick and pleasant.

Lovely place for lunch around Southwark. Nice view rooftop and a little Mediterranean garden ambience would be perfect for quick brunch with friends in the summer time. While lobster rice was delicious!
