El Iberico Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Have amened review to reply to owners rude review as £31.90 for a jug of sangria is not cheap and I find that extremely patronising. We asked you to taste it numerous times as barely any alcohol in it and if it was not true why did you have to top it up - not with champagne either but prosecco? And no we did not get any Padron peppers, we thought it was replacement as we told waiter it did not come and some other dish came out and we got charged twice. Learn to read the reviews, we said the other staff were friendly but it was true a couple of the lads were inexperienced but still very pleasant, you should take a leaf out of their book.

Looking at all the reviews we decided to book as fancied some nice tapas but to be honest it was average at best.

It’s a lovely little restaurant itself and most staff are friendly (couple of young inexperienced lads more on that later) and we ordered selection of tapas, cocktails and champagne sangria. Didn’t taste any alcohol so politely explained this to the head waiter and he said they topped it up. Initially they said they literally poured whole bottle in but when we said was still tasting just of fruit they changed line to: we only put little in do you expect a whole bottle of champagne! We asked them to taste themselves and let us know but was not getting anywhere, it’s not cheap at £31.90 and was border line rude as we were very polite about it.

Then to top things off we ordered padron peppers that didn’t come and we told one of the young lads who said was not on order and out came some breaded jalapeño so we thought were replacement as ran out and got home and saw they had charged us for both so basically ended up paying £11.90 extras for nothing. Our fault for not...

This cosy, delightful, well established restaurant 'EL IBERICO' ( Mediterranean/ Portuguese 🇵🇹, 🇪🇸 Spanish cuisine)has long been here in my memory ( I've lived in Blackfen for 36 years!) situated at THE OVAL, BLACKFEN, SIDCUP. A very popular 'top rated' restaurant in this area and no surprise how it has thrived for so long. My wife and I only live 5mins walking distance, and we have been here on several special occasions in the past. Our recent visit lived up to fine expectations, 'as always'; the owner one of the very best a restaurant could have - the staff happy to please. The warm attractive decor inside is matched with a Mediterranean taste of music in the background. Every every chair and table were taken, and at its best a jolly atmosphere seemed embraced by the clients. A good restaurant to cater for your friends, family and small party groups. The staff were very busy and on the go, and the excellent food and drink of Mediterranean splendour served are a hallmark of this fine restaurant. Folks, I highly recommend the Monkfish if you love your fish! I've had Monkfish before and very good too, but this main course dish was UNFORGETTABLE in my view. The anchovies were delicious too as the starter. Great value on the varied menu. Overall, an excellent meal and experience enjoyed at our local restaurant my wife and I - and yes, we will definately return. A1, 10/10 rating Thank...

We’ve eaten here a few times now and I’m glad we have. It’s a pleasant surprise to have a well priced and lovely little gem serving tapas just up the road, something which is in short supply round here!

Compared to chain tapas restaurants, El Iberico is very well priced and does generous hearty portions. They have a good selection of drinks and the food is always tasty and far more authentic than some places.

Staff are very attentive and look after their customers, and nothing seems too much trouble to them. Even when rushed off their feet, they take the time to look after their customers and aim for top service (which we have always had).

The restaurant has a cosy, warm atmosphere and is a lovely little place to visit with friends or family. I’d definitely recommend a visit - it’s worth the price for a local...
