José | Authentic Spanish Tapas in London 🇪🇸🍷
📍 104 Bermondsey St, London SE1 3UB ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sat 12PM-10:30PM | Sun 12PM-9:30PM Stepped into this charming tapas bar on Halloween night 🎃 and was instantly transported to Barcelona! The warm amber glow, rustic wooden barrels, and sizzling pans created the perfect ambiance for our Spanish feast. Our Tapas Journey 🍽️ 🍅 Pan con Tomate The quintessential starter - crusty bread rubbed with garlic and ripe tomatoes, drizzled with golden olive oil. Simple yet perfecto! 🫑 Padrón Peppers The Russian roulette of Spanish cuisine! Most are mild and sweet, but you might get a spicy surprise 🌶️ 🐙 Pulpo a la Gallega Galician-style octopus atop silky potato cream, dusted with smoky paprika. The tentacles were incredibly tender - clearly fresh and expertly cooked. 🫘 Alubias con Almejas Clams and white beans in a garlicky broth that reminded me of home-cooked comfort food. Perfect for dipping their crusty bread! 🥩 Secreto Ibérico The "secret" cut of Iberian pork shoulder - marbled, juicy, and served with nutty Romesco sauce. Melts in your mouth! Why We Loved It ❤️ ✔️ Authentic flavors straight from Spain ✔️ Lively yet intimate neighborhood vibe ✔️ Knowledgeable staff who guide you through the menu ✔️ Reasonable prices (£8-15 per tapas plate) Pro Tips 💡 • Arrive before 7PM to snag a table (no reservations for small groups) • Try their house sangria - fruity but not too sweet! • Save room for churros con chocolate - they're legendary here #JoséPizarro #LondonTapas #SpanishFood #BermondseyEats #FoodieAdventure
