🇬🇧 Barrafina Review: London's Iconic Spanish Tapas Spot 🥘✨
📍 Barrafina Drury Lane 43 Drury Ln, London WC2B 5AJ (Note: Only their Soho branch has a Michelin star!) 🍽️ The Experience: • Walk-ins nearly impossible - book ahead! • Intimidating for introverts (staff explains each special verbally 😅) • Simple menu with daily specials (some Spanish names unclear) 🌟 What We Ordered: 1️⃣ Ham Croquetas (£8.5) Decent but forgettable (the veg special version was worse) 2️⃣ Ibérico Ham (£22) Good quality, but arrived late & overhyped 3️⃣ Ox Cheek Fritters (£15) 🏆 Crispy outside, braised-meat-soft inside - the star dish! 4️⃣ Prawn Tortilla (£14.5) Runny-centered potato cake with rich sauce - wow factor! 5️⃣ Hake Salsa Verde (£18) Fishy disappointment (wanted the whole fish that sold out 😤) 6️⃣ Tuna Tartare (£23) Fresh, beautifully presented - no fishy taste 💷 Damage: £50-60pp (without drinks) 💡 Pro Tips: • Try the Soho location for Michelin magic • Ask for English explanations of specials • Don’t miss their legendary suckling pig (when available) #LondonEats #SpanishTapas #Barrafina #FoodieReview #MichelinWorthy #LondonRestaurants
