Barrica - London

My very favorite tapas in the city, in the lively foodie area around charlotte st. first discovered by a friend birthday dinner a few years ago this was my top destination every time tapas hungers kick in. an impressive list of Spanish weeping offers great pairings for each dish on the menu, including a larger than average selection of weeping and sherries on the glass. During one of my visits I was “happy” to get the in ten wildly hot padron peppers. the trenches ran into my face for about 15 minutes uncontrollable, but the incident was like the point above the i of the entire experience.

A beautiful and homely style tapas place in the opposite with warm, cheerful, typical Spanish waiters and waitresses. huge sherry selections.

Really nice place to order las patatas bravas and the lenses! they were amazing! The huh is also good, but the veggie tapas stole the show. also the helpers are quite generous! we finished the order, provided the parts were tiny.

Great food, friendly staff. large selection of very tasty foods, staff were very friendly and efficient, and price was very reasonable! recommended!

A to while away an afternoon here.... Fitzrovia has become Baby Barcelona of late. You genuinely could construct a half decent tapas crawl...Barrica may lack some of the glamour and column inches of Fino, Saltyard et al but I really liked it. Dark, bistro like room. Unusual specials (sand eels anyone? and nto afraid to play with offal, STUNNING wine and sherry list, which is no surprise as the owner is/was a wine importer. Went for the not-100%-acorn-fed jamon which was lovely, nutty, beautifully sliced. Chargrilled squid, veal cheeks which had been stewed in sherry and were lovely and melty (though could have been cut a bit better, far too much fat remaining , salt cod fritters, a lovely sheep's cheese served with almonds...manzanilla to start, a glass of godello (bit like albarino, yum and oloroso with the cheese. Will be back.
