Great meal. Still excellent. Always gone for Tapas. However, it's not the cheapest. Staff are always very friendly. Patatas bravas and meatballs were delicious. Will go again.

Service is great & friendly - real attention to guests. The atmosphere is good. The food is nice - good, traditional tapas but possibly slightly overpriced for quality & location of restaurant. Overall, nice local restaurant. Will probably visit again.

We had a fantastic meal today at Bar 61. The portions are big so make sure you are very hungry when you go. The service was excellent, the waiter we had is called Tony who is very pleasant and entertaining. The restaurant had an authentic and rustic feel to it. We would highly recommend Bar 61, you will not be disappointed. John and Debbie

I love the tapas style of eating and wanted a special place to celebrate one of those big birthday milestones. Trip Advisor showed Bar 61 near the top of all restaurants in London and the reviews were outstanding. I booked a table for a party of 5. Our experience definitely lived up to those excellent reviews - great atmosphere, fantastic food and drink. The owners/hosts couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. And prices were incredibly reasonable.

A very cozy place, service is very personal - makes you feel very welcomed and appreciated. We went with a wide variety of tapas and all of them simply exceeded expectations - everything is super fresh and flavourful. I have to mention the service, since it is the component that turns Bar 61 into a must have experience while in London - our waiter Toni was super helpful and friendly, he went out of his way to care about our well being, while giving us space and freedom of choice. We are definitely coming back.

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.

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.

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.

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.
