Wonderful restaurant...lovely service and great food. Can highly recommend anyone going to try this place out - a hidden gem in Streatham. Make sure you try the ratatouille!

They gave us a set menu for Valentine’s Day which wasn’t very good I’m afraid. We wanted and expected the tapas menu that we love! I should have checked beforehand but we were disappointed with the quality of the food that evening.

Service was good but quite unimpressed with the food, which wasn't good quality for the price at all. It's a shame as this place had great reviews and I was looking forward to trying it.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good portions and good value for money. We had the garlic prawns to start, which were delicious. My partner had the grilled trout with almonds and a lemon sauce which was amazing. My chicken was cooked to perfection and extremely flavoursome. Only Criticism is the choice of desert was limited.

Best tapas restaurant I've been to in London and the service was second to none. Exceptionally friendly and polite. You can tell that it's a family run establishment.

Simply the most wonderful evening in this fantastic place. Great food, fantastic service and reasonable prices. We hadn't visited Bar 61 since the 90's and it was reassuringly the same excellent quality as it's always been.

Good food, great service , lovely place and good relaxed ambience. One of the rare places in London where you get proper professional service from genuine restaurant/service professionals. Been going there for about 15 years! Really good tapas and a nice wine list.

really enjoyed the warmth of the reception by the staff, the atmosphere, nothing was too much trouble, the food was really good quality, like the pulpo, the chipirones all excellent, had a great bottle of rioja. This is not an haute cuisine restaurant and does not pretend to be, but for a lovely night out that cant be bettered. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

There was a very excellent atmosphere; this was helped by the welcoming hosts. Our waiter(the older gent) was very entertaining and ensured we were well looked after. Very intimate restaurant and excellent ambiance. Definitely visiting again.

I was in this wonderful restaurant at the end of September. I found it by tripadvisor and it was a good decision to celebrate the anniversary of me and my girlfriend there. The dinner was very tasty, but the best thing was the service!! If I travel over again to London, I will visit the Bar 61 absolutely again.

Very friendly Spanish tapas bar serving generous portions of well cooked food. Very quiet on Tuesday lunchtime but was assured it is lively in the evening. More suitable for a party venue than a gourmet outing.

What saves this from being one star is that they recognised how bad their own food was and removed three dishes from the bill. It is a travesty that this is Number 2 in TripAdvisor, while the Dairy, where we are going for a really special meal tomorrow night, languishes in a lowly position. Mussels, supposedly in white wine, but actually swimming in oil, were frozen mussels from New Zealand, serrano ham was prepackaged, whilst scampi meuniere were in some thick white sauce that tasted of wine and nothing else instead of being cooked in butter with parsley and lemon, the chipirones (baby squid) were rather too grown up instead. Service was charming and friendly, and a glass of white Rioja was excellent. Please people, get real and stop rating this restaurant so highly or at least learn what constitutes good food.

Friendly and charming service in an authentic Tapas bar. The octopus and and garlic prawns were particularly good. Good selection of wine. It cost around £35pp for a large selection of tapas and plenty of wine.

Huge portions of food and a great choice of a la carte dishes which includes tapas. However the best is the service, the staff go above and beyond to look after you. I would recommended that they invest in a/c though as was rather hot!

We were brilliantly well looked after but a generous and hospitable waiter. He gave us sound advice about the number of dishes for Tapas to prevent us from ordering too many and spending too much. He reassured us that if the wine was not to our liking he'd change it. And we were given complimentary fruit and liquor at the end. The décor is old school. I'd change that. The food was solid without being spectacular, though the calamari rings were superb. It was great value for money and a wonderful experience. We'd definitely go back. And this time we might take the kids.

The TripAdvisor reviews for this restaurant are all you need to see to know what you're in for. Lovely decor and atmosphere, very friendly staff, and absolutely fantastic food. Large portions, and every dish just tasted fantastic. We shared 8 tapas dishes between 4 people which was a perfect amount. The home made sangria was the best I've ever tasted too! Will be going back very soon.

My friend and I found this place after searching for local tapas places after watching a movie in Streatham. This was an exceptional find. We were planning to attend again and who we'd bring with us before we'd even finished eating! Excellent customer service. Warm friendly staff. Beautiful ambience. EXCELLENT FOOD!
