La Bandera

Came here for my birthday on December, we had the seasonal menu with wine pairings. Every single dish was delicious and the wine was fantastically paired. The atmosphere was lovely, and our waiter (Thomas) was such a gracious host! His excitement with the food and wine was infectious, he talked us through the dishes with so much knowledge and passion and really enhanced the whole experience. We can't recommend it enough, and look forward to coming back!

I enjoyed the fried cod fillets, patatas bravas, chicken wings and the octopus. The octopus was decent size, tasted fresh and not chewy. The patatas bravas was crispy on the outside and soft on the side, accompanied by the popular sauces they come with. The fried fillet was crispy and fresh to the bite. The sangria was refreshing, was quite light though. The atmosphere was a little dark for my preference, I prefer it a little lighter so I can see the menu. The prawns were a little disappointing, they were tiny and the flavour was just not right. Usually I’m a fan of prawns, but would not order that again. It’s also a shame they didn’t have the pigs cheek and knuckle. I would have loved to try them.

Had bottomless brunch with a few friends and we all loved it, not the cheapest around at £42 but worth every penny and more as we had the choice of Sangria, Beer, Wine, Cava and Cocktails which were great and we had plenty In our 90 mins, the Tapas was fantastic and filling with good quality food, service was very attentive so will definitely be returning.

This is my third time here and I always enjoyed the food at La Bandera. Unfortunately tonight when I called the restaurant the male person answered the phone and said there is no tables at all tonight and that they are fully booked. I have looked online and booked table half an hour later. The restaurant had a lot of empty tables. The food tasted good, I have tried better tapa/Spanish restaurants. The portion for the special almond cake was also quite disappointing as you can see from the photo, portion was very small.
