Best Tapas Restaurants in Fulham

A hidden gem in the side streets of Mayfair. El Pirata has been my favourite Tapas Restaurant for many years. The staff are welcoming, the ambiance is lively and the food is out of this world. A definite must for a special occasion!

Outstanding service. The waitress was really open to walking us through her recommendations of the menu. The food was great and the venue was brilliant. Would certainly recommend.

Pretty much a perfect meal, food outstanding and great value.

This is a wonderful Spanish establishment. In summary, the food is excellent, the wine mark up is not huge like some places, the service was very welcoming and the service charge was only 8%!!! The bar and restaurant are beautifully decorated. There is a nice tapas menu for the bar area and a more substantial menu in the restaurant. We started off with a pre-dinner drink from a good selection of wines by the glass and sherries. We had dinner in the main restaurant. The atmosphere was very refined and I can now understand why they stipulate a dress code of business casual. We both had squid for starters which was nice and the flour coating very light and crispy. For the main course, we had sucking pig and milk-fed lamb. Both were well cooked with crispy skin. My lamb portion was a bit big so I could not finish it but they were very nice and packed it for me to take home. Sadly we were so full we didn't manage to have a dessert. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant, although I might try the tapas next time.

They have a really annoying sound when food is ready to be taken to a table. It’s a very loud doorbell! Just not really appropriate for the small restaurant. Everything else is lovely. But they should really change that loud doorbell!
