Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere as restaurant was full and buzzing. I thought it was a little expensive but then it was worth it.

Wonderful and delicious meal attentively and hospitable served. All top marks. Tapas works well for us and adds to the cameraderie. On a weeknight not much late or drinking but everything we had we enjoyed- as ever.

You cannot ask for a warmer welcome from a restaurant than what you can expect from Rafa at Mar i Terra. The choice and quakity of the tapas is excellent. The deserts are also very authentic and delicious. The wine selection - especially the reds - are superb and bery good value (with high-end wones, too). Highly recommended.

A truly authentic, old established Spanish Tapas restaurant in a grade 2 listed 19th century pub. Perfect food, wine list and service - a little known gem.

Another great meal here. As last time the food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. It has the feel of an authentic Spanish restaurant and is an oasis of calm in an otherwise busy city.

The food was delicious and the service good. But the music was turned up at 10 o'clock to an uncomfortable level - so we felt rushed out -

I've been going to Mar i Terra since it had a branch in Air Street off Piccadilly. It's simply some of the best tapas I've ever eaten either here or in Spain. Thoroughly recommended!

Our first visit & it wont be our last (we travel into London a lot). Seems like a family run restaurant a refreshing change from branded/chain eateries with its simple layout & décor. Friendly service & lovely Tapas. Took the advice of our waiter about the number of dishes to have & he was spot on. We did book ahead but were the first there so cannot confirm how service/atmosphere etc. would be when busy but they seemed to have enough waiters if it did became busy later.

Visiting London and went with my boyfriend for a birthday meal. We’re fans of tapas and always looks for a tapas restaurant. Very nice experience, lovely food and the staff were very helpful. Had five dishes between us and it was more than enough.

To be fair the food was good and the wine too but I was overcharged by two glasses, didn't spot it on the night and both messages sent via their 'contact us form' have been ignored. Be very careful if you dine here.

Authentic Spanish restaurant very close to Southwark station. Great food and excellent service - highly recommend the House Red. We visited in the summer and had a dinner outside in the courtyard - we will return again!

Mar i Terra is a lovely, family-owned, genuine place with honest, tasty tapas and an excellent Spanish wine selection. The owner/maître-d is hugely welcoming and always has a warm amile for all customers. It is our tapas restaurant of default and an excellent place to go to for a pre-theatre South Bank/Old Vic supper or a longer stay. Highly recommended.

This Spanish restaurant is wonderful, great food, wine and excellent atmosphere. It is best to book a table so that you are not disappointed. You can share dishes or order individually all the food is good but I especially recommend the pulp and garbanzos.

This is one of our favourite restaurants. Everything is pretty much always perfect. The quality of ingredients is top notch and we've never had a bad meal. Try the lentils and root vegetables, but also everything else on the menu.

Fantastic night, tasty food, good sangria and service was wonderful. Lovely little garden out the back and you wouldn't realise where you were most of the time, you could be in a little courtyard garden in Barcelona rather than Southwark

Food fantastic. Staff charming. Only reason not a top score was the service was a little slow. I would thoroughly recommend it both summer (cute garden in the middle of very urban environment) and winter - inside warm and cosy.

Our food was really nice but the service was very slow, although friendly. A good selection of vegetarian tapas which is quite unusual. Overall a good experience. I would go back.
