Mar I Terra restaurant

Great food and lovely setting. Best Tapas i have had in London. Would have been a 6 but the service could of been slightly better

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.

It was surprisingly quiet for a week-day lunch-time, just us two plus one larger table obviously from a nearby office; but the service was pleasant as always, with tasty dishes. We overstayed past 3 pm, but were not hurried out.

Great tasting variety of tapas, good selection of wines & sherry with great service & reasonably priced! Definitely a place to return too again and again!

This is a lovely little restaurant. It isn't fancy but does good solid tapas fare at reasonable prices. I think they have an outside space but that wasn't open on this occasion

This is a great little place. Some of the food reminds me of when we used to live in Spain, and it seems to be cooked to order, so it is not a good place for a quick meal. The Rioja wines that we had were excellent. We arrived early in the evening, but this place is popular with large groups so can get very noisy later. A good evening and a real find.

Nice food and good service. It was our first time visit but we will come back again. Perhaps we will sit in the garden next time.

as ever, an excellent restaurant in terms of food and ambience. no hesitation to recommend. the chorizo and kale is probably my favourite dish - stiff competition though!

La de la, this is really annoying. WHy are you sending me emails and making me post this. Stop it you fools. la de da over

Even fully crowded the service was still good. The croquettes and tiger prawns were mouth watering as always and the chicken livers marinated in sherry were a special treat. Mar I Terra continues to impress.

Great food and drink, and an authentic experience. Definitely recommended but don't tell too many other people - its the best kept secret in town! :)

What a great little find. Almost off the beaten track, literally less than 2 mins from Southwark Station. Service was good, tapas was great and the Cava welcome!

Excellent tortilla de patatas. Good arroz a banda. Good Ribera red wine. No so good coffee. Very kind service. Good crema catalana as well. Very good experience!!.

Great as ever. Friendly service and good food. We didn't feel rushed at any time. Have started to eat here a lot when we're in London.

One of the best tapas bars I have eaten at outside of Spain. Food is very good, a wide selection of drinks and friendly service.

Great restaurant with friendly efficient staff. Good value wines, and traditional tapas menu with lots of choice and daily specials. Always have a good time.

Super food and attentive service. Lovely cosy location and good selection of different dishes which arrived in good time. Wine list has sufficient variety of by the glass and by the bottle.

The food was great but the £1.95 per person for 2 dry pieces of bread was a little annoying but more frustrating was the £4.50 for half a pint of Spanish beer. I understand it's imported but I at least expected to get a whole bottle at that price. Otherwise great experience - the croquettas, pork belly and the chickpea dish were very special.

Authentic Spanish cuisine in a friendly atmosphere. The staff were attentive without hovering, the food was reasonably priced, and the background music was perfect. I Would definately reccommend this restaurant.

This place is definitely off the beaten path and fit the bill exactly for what our out of town friends were looking for on a visit to London. We've been to this restaurant several times and always walk away satisfied and thankfully so did our friends!

Lovely place. Great food and service. We always go here after an evening at the Tate Modern which is five minutes. Well priced for all budgets.

Great atmosphere with authentic Spanish food. Their wine list is excellent also. A little on the expensive side but worth it. We'll be returning soon.

excellent service and choice of tapas available very well presented and ample portions, aim for 5 dishes between 2 or 6 if you are hungry , you dont have to order them all at once as the service is very good

We paid a visit to the restaurant following a recommendation from a friend. Lovely atmosphere, great staff , varied menu with lots of yummy vegetarian options.

Lovely little restaurant with a good selection of tapas including some more unusual and original ideas. I particularly enjoyed the peppers with a creamy crab filling.

Really relaxed restaurant tucked away from busy London. Great waiting staff friendly and helpful and great food with good vegetarian choices and all very reasonably priced

Really convenient location. Authentic non-chain tasty tapas, relaxed atmosphere even though they were very busy and we did hog the table for a long time. Have and will recommend strongly.

A Warm welcome and an authentic menu. We were Very well looked after. The decor is clean and not over-polished. A little gem that I'm glad I found.

Tucked away down a quiet street, great for pre theatre at the union theatre, providing lovely tapas, friendly homely staff will definitely return again soon

The food is good here - seemed a little more expensive than the last time we went though. Slightly inattentive service, but we were there on a busy night.

Great service, great food and a great location! Really nice building creating a unique atmosphere that is both friendly and welcoming. A good range of wine.

Lovely varied food though service not as efficient as in a previous visit - but being a busy Friday maybe understandable. Good ambience and value for money.

Great place, great food, great service in a relaxed atmosphere, apart from the rain outside, you would have thought you were in Barcelona, Las Ramblas.

Returned to Mar i Terra after quite a while (moved offices) to find the food as excellent as ever; informal relaxed ambience, excellent range of tapas, including some good regional dishes, an extensive Spanish wine list and some very good puddings. Apparently (owner said) now very quiet at lunchtimes, but buzzing in the evenings. Nice place which has maintained a good standard, as a friendly family run place.

Really good ambiance. The food was nice but the quantity vs price is not the best. If you want to eat a lot maybe you want to go somewhere else. Very friendly staff!

We discovered the place by accident...... and now keep going back and going back..... the food is great, people are very friendly, atmosphere is like being at home (but you don't have to do the cleaning up)...... A huge thank you to everybody at Mar I Terra!!!!!

Great, authentic Spanish food. Wonderful service. We travel a long way to get to this restaurant because it's worth it. I would recommend Mar I Terra to anyone.

Very chilled little place with friendly staff and good food at good prices. All the classic tapas dishes as well as other more varied ones. If you're a fan of calamari, you won't be disappointed.

Tasty food, great service, good atmosphere and didn't break the bank! What more could you wish for? Would recommend for a relaxed evening with friends/family.

Lovely and delicious. Great menu - not too long - and staff who know their product. A very pleasurable visit. Will be going again soon

Just like a typical experience in Barcelona! Great food and good service. Casual atmosphere and great Spanish wines. We'll be frequenting this place often !

Really enjoyable evening out. Excellent tapas and great staff. Make sure you book in advance as not a huge place. Chocolate mousse with brandy was to die for!!

The place had a wonderful atmosphere, the staff was very friendly and the food was great as well - a perfect recipe to have wonderful evening.

What a little gem!! We felt like we were transported into a bar in Spain. The service was amazing!! The waiters were attentive and helped with my poor pronouncation. The food was just perfect and I will definitely be returning because I want to try everything on the menu. Thank you very much for a fantastic evening xx

Lovely little restaurant. Atmosphere and food were great. Plenty of choice on the menu. Staff were very friendly. Reminded me of tapas places I had been to in Spain. Make sure you ask for the traditional regional digestif to round off the meal.

Food fine, service OK, ambience so so. Lighting too bright, didn't enjoy being located next to loos, and whilst we enjoyed its authenticity, I feel it could do with a revamp. Didn't feel entirely welcome and it was clear when we were no longer required. Feel it needs to take a fresh look at itself (visited previously over the years, this latest visit, many years hence, a tad disappointing)

Mar I Terra; cosy and friendly, with superb food --- but reasonable prices. The tapas selection is really very good. This is an excellent local family restaurant. There used to be lots like this in London forty years ago, but I thought they had all gone now. How glad I am to be wrong!

The atmosphere and food are very authentic spanish tapas. The service was quick, friendly and pleasant. This is a hidden gem. Loved the food. Definitely worth the visit.

This restaurant is a real find. The food is authentic and the 'croquetas de pollo' were mouth watering! The service was faultless, the waiters were all friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful time and will be returning very soon.

Fantastic food. Amazing staff. A real gem in a very convenient location (close to Waterloo, Waterloo East, Southwark Tube and London Bridge). Still thinking about the food...
