Great restaurant with a good solid menu supported by a reasonably priced wine list. The Vina Ardanza is a brilliant bottle of wine and goes perfectly with the variety of tapas. The menu is not large (especially for vegetarians) but everything is cooked to perfection. I have been many times and it continues to impress.

Wonderful 'Spanish' ambience and decor. Exceptionally good food, and, a first for me, 'Sherry cocktails'! We will certainly be returning! Lovely waitress, Cristina. Highly recommended!

Very good spanish tapas food. Very different and creative selection of tapas. Delicious wines. Great service and very nice atmosphere. I had a business lunch there and was very pleased my guests felt relaxed and enjoyed the food and all said they would come back to this restaurant.

Ask for a table at the back unless comfortable on high stools. Great food, though, great sherries, and excellent value. Will definitely be back.

Good food and with some options I hadn't seen before, cabbage with honey was a stand-out dish. Drinks replenished freely and service was attentive, if a little fast. Good atmosphere in the dining room once it filled up.

This was my second visit, for lunch. The tapas menu is relatively limited and the choices arrived in no particular order and somewhat sporadically. This restaurant has to my knowledge at least 3 other good Spanish competitors locally and cannot be accused of being cheap. I will return, but as it stands, not top of my local list.

Barrica is really nice for a casual delicious tapas dinner. All our dishes were beautifully cooked, the prices reasonable and the service attentive. The wine and cocktails were remarkably good. The only thing I would complain about are the stools. After a couple of hours I felt quite uncomfortable. If I had had access to email in the day, I could have asked for a seated table however.

Welcomed by all staff and received prompt and attentive service. Food very good. Little noisy once it had begun to fill up. Tables, seats close together so conversation carried on at higher decibal rate.

Always a nice place to eat & drink: welcoming, with delicious food. I've introduced loads of people to it now! My advice? Always try something you haven't tried before - it'll surprise & delight you.

Staff took the wrong orders, forgot to bring some of the orders and added random "orders" (which we did not place) onto the bill. the food was alright. Not as good as it used to be which is a shame. I was telling my friends who had never been to Barrica before that it was my favourite tapas place in London (I've been coming to Barrica for probably 3-4 years now) but I don't think I can make that statement after this meal as the food just wasn't good enough to make up for the lacking service.

An excllent resetaurant overall. Combines a buzzy atmosphere with quality food and great service. I would highly recommend due to the quality of the tapas and a wonderful wine list. Interesting wines from Spain which won't break the bank.

Barrica has a great ambiance and the service is (mostly) very helpful. The food is just fantastic, and it's a treat to find around 80% of the menu available gluten free, and much dairy free too.
