We dined early but the atmosphere was still excellent, service very attentive, and food delicious. Authentic Tapas at its best. A great place to eat with friends, probably less so for a romantic dinner.

Nice food although I would not say anything special (try Iberia for that!). Nice sherries and wines by the glass, and the waiters are good at making recommendations on both.

Warm welcome, friendly staff and generally good service. Good choice of both drinks and food. We liked all our choices, particularly the veal cheeks. Quite noisy but a good atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the experience.

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!

I have been a loyal customer of this place for over 3 years now. The tapas concept appeals very much to me, one gets to try a variety of smaller dishes (each of them great in itself), which are served over a certain period of time (not all at once). The food at Barrica is authentically Spanish, its simple yet refined..the word "honest" springs to mind. I last went this Friday after an 8 pm finish at the office and began with a cold glass of Mahou, followed by salted almonds, a bottle of red wine from the Navarra region, patatas bravas, jamon cebo, lomo iberico, sautéed duck breast on toast and of course a few servings of croquetas. It was a perfect finish to a long day, the service was friendly (as always) and the food was excellent. I will definitely be back soon.

Food and atmosphere was great. However at 8pm they had run out of 3 items on the menu and also run out of 2 different red wines we wanted to order (one being on the specials). Service was good, except having to ask 3 separate time for water until it finally arrived.

I continue to return to Barrica to sample some of the truly delicious tapas dishes they serve. It would be difficult to single some out, but the smoked duck breast with plum butter on crostini is simply stunning!! Love the hustle and bustle of the place. I have my next visit booked already!

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.

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.

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.

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.
