Barrafina

For a taste of Spain in Soho, Barrafina is a bona fide outlet of Spanish charm (it was modelled on the famous Cal Pep in Barcelona). Pull up a stool at the bar and order a selection of traditional tapas, such as pimientos de padron, tortilla, salt cod fritters, and morcilla and wash it all down with wine from an edited list of lesser-known Spanish producers. Expect queues (no bookings here), but trust us: it’s well worth the wait.
