Iberica Farringdon in Islington

Great tasting tapas and lovely service. A little pricey but a nice lunch or dinner option as you order as little or as many dishes as you want.

We enjoyed our visit. Food was generally good, certainly for taste, but fish paella was disappointing for amount of fish other than some slightly soft giant prawns. Generally a bit expensive for what it was but at least we never felt pressured to vacate or table so we had time to chat and make the most of the four of us coming together for the evening.

Nice place and decoration, nice food (great octopus, only very bad tortilla with big pieces of undercooked potato), very noisy, mediocre service. We were not told in advance that we would have to leave at a certain time and after taking a long time to serve us, we were rushed out of the restaurant within 10 minutes. It feels very frustrating when having a good time with friends.

Lovely atmosphere and staff and the olives are especially good… but it’s hugely overpriced. £25 ham plate is not worth it. The £35 “seafood” paella for 2 was more like a prawn risotto, with not particularly good prawns. Honestly, for a 40 minute wait for the paellas, I was hugely disappointed. You often get way better paella (with more seafood like mussels, clams, pieces of cod even) in street markets for £8.Would I go back? Yes, but only for the good service, drinks and the olives, maybe croquettas as a snack.

Amazing food including some of the best octopus I've ever had. Wonderful service and some chorizo to take home that taste delicious. A must try!

This is a lovely Tapas/Spanish restaurant serving all kinds of tapas, Spanish food and drinks. The selection of tapas available is impressive.The vegetarian options like pumpkin was delicious. Nutty earthy flavours with buttery texture. Aubergine with black Lentil was nice with Smokey taste. Not everyone will like the texture. Tomato on bread was rather bland and needed seasoning. Beetroot salad is what it is.Seafood selection was good. Prawns is basic with salt. Not a lot to write about. Lemon water to wash fingers would have been good. This was not provided nor lemon wet towel.Muscles were super fresh and a gentle spicy broth.Octopus was cooked to perfection with a lovely flavour.Meat eaters will be happy. The rib eye was a big winner on our table. Cooked to perfection and tender. Gentle seasoning. The braised lamb was just incredibly tender. Just simply fell apart and melt in mount. Chicken also cooked amazingly well packing flavours.Ham lovers will be very happy with plenty of options including fried bacon slices.The desserts were Devine. The flan with citrus orange flavour was incredible. The iberico rice pudding was sweet with strong cinnamon flavours. The churros were decent but standard.Some premium options available and all cooked perfectly. Some items can do with more flavour but in general diners should satisfied. Service is good and a very pleasant ambiance.

Lovely staff, decent food. Delicious octopus! Will be coming back.

Tomato avo salad amazing - almost forgot a pic before eating it all! Tortilla was a bit dry but really recommend the pulpo and lamb. Lamb literally melted in mouth!

Had a beautiful meal for my birthday in June. Portions are all generious for tapas, we orded slightly more plates then recommended and managed to finish them all 😅🤤. Interior is really nice, loved the artwork!

Very nice Spanish food food. They recommend 2 to 3 tapas per person. I'd say it should be at least 4 per person. The octopus was by far the best tapa of all. I was very disappointed with the leeks. They were not as tender and sweet as they should have been, they were still uncooked in the center
