La Paella Tapas Bar - Spanish Restaurant Southgate — Restaurant in London

We are an East Asian family, taking the opportunity of Eat Out to Help Out scheme by venturing our local neighbourhood trying all the restaurants. After months of lockdown the atmosphere of this cosy restaurant made me feel we were on holiday back in Spain, which I very much missed. I called to book a table and despite the restaurant was understandably very busy due to the scheme, the owner was friendly and accommodating and still managed to find us a good table. We ordered a selection of tapas, a few mains. I was pleasantly surprised that they have the black paella on the menu as not many Spanish restaurants in London has this dish available (not in all the restaurants I’ve been to anyway). The food was freshly made. I very much enjoyed my Sangria, the calamari tapas was great and the Paella tasted amazing! It exceeded my expectations with fresh fish and clean mussels, even my picky partner was impressed. I wanted to order the churros but we were too full. I don’t know why we did not try this place before, maybe because I wrongly assumed the best Spanish cuisine was in Spain! So yes, I recommend this place and will return. Thank you and hope your business will be well during this...

As the begining they have huge "coffee" banner. I bought there coffee for takeaway. Just no comment... I have asked for latte, guy thought that this is a beer... wait 5 minutes for him to actually get informations from someone from the back probably how to make this coffee... He started to do it and burn the milk at first. Pour very long 2 shots of espresso - it was half cup, top up 1/4 with hot WATER and eventually add this "bit" of burned milk on top. It was hotter than extra hot drink I have ever drink in the past. Close the cup with too big lid and I got burn with this terrible hot coffee that spill out first step I made outside. Charged 7.90£ for 2 of them... I dont even know why I have paid and let him sell that to me. Straight after I went to the shop around the corner and bought milk, pour out half of it to actually drink it and don't waste... Worst experience ever, never be back again. I was too angry to go back and ask for a refund. Edit: I wasnt in the wrong place, its area I know very well. Its very sticky to try mingle with peoples opinions, just get your staff proper training how to makea coffee. I have a bill in my pocket but I wont be as rude to post it...

The finest Spanish restaurant in town. I am a regular here and here's why: The food, the drinks, the friendly service, and the Spanish music.

The Tapas here is delicious. They serve a variety of delicious tapas; Paela with chicken and seafood Fish cakes Spanish sausage cooked in red wine Mussels in chilly tomato sauce

This all goes well with the House wine. Available in red and white. I recommend red wine.

For dessert, the best thing of all is the delicious Chocolate con Churros. Served on a wooden tray accompanied by a little bowl of warm creamy chocolate sauce for you to dip them in.

To go with that they offer some nice hot drinks. My personal favorite is their latte.

The atmosphere feels very authentic. The staff are friendly and there is beautiful Spanish music played here. No matter what part of the year it is, you feel like you are in Spain.

This is a wonderful restaurant.

Usually I come here for the fine latte and as a place to read. It's a great place to spend with family and friends for all...
