Established in 1987, Meson Don Felipe was the first Tapas Bar in London and we are still an independent, family-run business. You can expect great tapas and some amazing, well-priced Spanish wines, served in an authentic, relaxed atmosphere.
We have an outside terrace with heaters and umbrellas but of course, we can't promise the weather! If you book outside we can't guarantee a table inside if the weather changes.
For those unable to eat-in, we offer our famous Paellas for takeaway at lunchtime Monday-Friday.
Thank you for all your support and we look forward to welcoming you soon to this little bit of Spain in Waterloo.

    Good range of dishes with an interesting rabbit on the daily specials. All dishes were tasty, hot and well-presented. As ever, it's a small place and tables are minute for 2 people with a selection of dishes and a couple of drinks. Seats are tightly packed and you get bashed about by other diners. Prices are OK for what it is, but over £6 for a 33cl beer is a bit steep.

    A wonderful meal. The tables are bit on the small side which is difficult when you order a number of tapas dishes. Service was a little disjointed. it was difficult to attract attention but when you had their attention is was really good. Wines were excellent Will definitely go there again
