Mar I Terra restaurant

The food was as good as usual, but the service wasn't particularly good or very friendly. Had to ask to be served even to get a drink initially in spite of having been given the drinks menu. Admittedly this was at the start of service but the barman seemed to be more interested with his phone than serving us.

Excellent service and food as ever. Tried the specials, which were great, and also enjoyed the pulpo and lentil dishes from the menu. All washed down with an agreeable rioja.

Great, food was a little bit slower than usual though. When the food arrived it was as delicious as it always is and the Rioja wine was really good.

Little Spanish tapas gem in the heart of London. The food was gorgeous, service attentive, atmosphere felt like we were in a little restaurant in Spain. My best London dining experience. For all those tapas lovers out there who are looking for a special night out with excellent food, wine and service - this place is a must😊.

Excellent service...very good variety of good food. Particularly good patatas bravas, chicken livers and albondigas. Good back street location too for Waterloo, Blackfriars and London Bridge. Reasonable prices...£30 a head including wine (a good house red).

Really great place. Doesn't look like much on the outside but food was incredible and it was lovely sitting in the garden outside for the warm evening. Great atmosphere and food - will definitely go back again to try what we didn't order this time!

Excellent food, attentive service, great atmosphere. Mar I Terra serves authentic Spanish tapas in a great little restaurant with a family run feel. The only let down was the sangria that tasted like sherbert, presumably due to an overload of sugar but every dish we had, which was about half those on the menu, was great. Will definitely return here next time we're in Southwark. Only a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the Southbank, Tate Modern & Globe Theatre but so different in atmosphere from the chain outlets near them. Truly a hidden gem set as it is in a quiet little side street.

Delicious food and very reasonably priced.Portions were vvery generous too. Patatas bravas was the best I had ever tasted! I will be going back. Highly recommended.

Great food, excellent service. We will keep coming back time and time again. Have already booked another reservation for when colleagues visit later in June.

Great little find, the staff were very welcoming and the food and service were to a high standard. It has a cosy courtyard for alfresco dinning. I will return here for sure.

Excellent service. Couldn't go enough for you. Food good too. Nice little garden outside if you don't mind a bit of urban noise. Been a neighbourhood classic for years.

Delicious food off the beaten track and great to be able to sit outside on a summers evening

Delicious food, great atmosphere and really friendly staff. You almost feel like being in Spain.

Lovely restaurant, great choice of Tapas, nice outdoor area. Staff provided excellent service. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food & great service. Had a lovely evening - looking forward to going back again soon. Would highly recommend the patatas bravas!! Amazing 😃

Had so many people recommend this restaurant and so with expectations of smooth service, fabulous tapas and place for a family celebration I headed for a great meal. What I got for the money I paid was average, sorry guys at Mar I Terra, but maybe 'back in the day' your reputation was deserved but it's a once only experience for me. Food was OK but nothing to blow you away - portions were small but at the higher price level and service was again OK but not worth the tip I paid, as often I was left straining my hand like a kid at the back of the class, seeking the teachers attention - understandable if it was busy but the place was empty - that should have been a clue. My view is if you want a bottle of wine after work and something to nibble then probably OK, if you want an authentic tapas experience you'll be disappointed!

Fantastic tapas and lovely staff. We stayed long into the night and were not pressured to leave. A very enjoyable evening - would have rated it 6/6 if it were not for the loud train that passed by every now and again.

Amazing, authentic food. Staff were great and well worth a visit. Will definitely be back soon

Excellent food with a lot of different dishes. Prices were reasonable for both the food and drinks. Nice people and good service. We would definitely go back.

A nice, bustling atmosphere, perfect for a group of friends. The tapas was consistently very good, especially the chorizo and the prawns in garlic. The cheeseboard was decent enough but the portions a little skimpy. All in all, a really good evening in a relaxed environment with good quality food and service

lovely selection of delicious tapas dishes all served hot. Great pastel rose - fast attentive service. We had a great time in this cosy restaurant. Would recommend highly

This is a great spot just south of the river and a short walk from the Tate Modern and Bankside Gallery. The best tapas, freshly cooked to order and a proper selection of Spanish beers, wines and sherries. For much of the time we were there, the only other voices around the tables were Spanish. Nothing flash, here; just a really good restaurant experience, whether dropping in for something quick, or staying for a long, lazy blow-out. David

Actually the real deal. I am Spanish and I felt like home. Recommend the rice and the Bravas. Good location and better price. Will come back

A friendly, informal family run place serving classic tapas with a smile. If you like places that aren't trying to provide a 'dining experience', just honest food at good value, then you'll like Mar i Terra

good informal place for an evening meal particularly after visiting the Tate. friendly but professional service. we will need to visit again to form opinion. !this we will do shortly.

Wonderful quality dishes on offer in lovely surroundings and aided by a genuinely committed and friendly manager/owner and staff. The tortilla is the best I've ever tasted. Very good value for money meal.

Mar i Terra offers wonderful hospitality and excellent home-cooked food at a reasonable price. The staff are super-friendly. Thisbisba great place to either soend the whole evening over lovely wine or as a place for a quick pit-stop en route to the theatre. Highly recommend.

It is worth seeking out this slightly hidden tapas restaurant. The food is very good, the service is efficient and the patron is great fun!
