Tapas Stories

Spanish tapas done properly in Covent Garden's piazza, with proper cocktails and a genuine neighbourhood feel despite the tourist footfall.

You'll descend into this lower ground spot just off the Piazza and immediately feel the difference from the chaos above. It's got that proper Spanish taverna energy—all dark wood, warm lighting, and the kind of convivial buzz that happens when people are actually enjoying their food rather than rushing through it. The menu reads like someone genuinely knows their way around Spanish cuisine: jamón, patatas bravas, croquetas that don't skimp on the filling, plus seasonal plates that rotate regularly. Pair it with something from their decent wine list or a proper Spanish vermouth cocktail, and you've got yourself an evening that doesn't feel like you've been fleeced just because you're near the touristy bits.
