5-Star Review for Rincón de Pepe in Worthing
If I could have given more than 5 stars, I absolutely would have! Rincón de Pepe is a true slice of Spain in the heart of Worthing: an extraordinary experience in every way. The food was simply outstanding — every dish we tried was made with care, incredibly fresh ingredients, and an explosion of authentic flavors. The paella, in particular, was divine — probably the best I've ever had outside of Spain. Rich, aromatic, with perfectly cooked rice and top-quality ingredients: every bite was a journey to the Mediterranean.
The welcome we received was so warm and genuine that we immediately felt at home, greeted by wonderful people who clearly put their heart and passion into everything they do. The service was flawless: attentive, friendly, and always with a smile.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and familiar, with an authentic touch that makes you forget you’re still in England. I highly recommend Rincón de Pepe to anyone wanting to experience real Spanish flavors and sincere hospitality. I can’t...
Read moreWe ate here Sat 3rd Aug and had such a lovely evening! We're vegan and, honestly, the staff could not have been more kind or helpful! Including double checking with the chef.
There are a good number of vegan options available and they explained how many tapas to order (glad they did as we would have ordered far more than we could eat!).
But oh the food!!! To start we had the bread with Balsamic vinegar and oil...plus olives, then 4 tapas dishes, all of which were delicious but the Patatas Bravas and especially the mushrooms have to get a special mention!
We were full but decided to share some churros (they are vegan if sugar coated and without the chocolate dip)...and are so glad we did as they were simply divine!!!! (I have had major cravings since!)
We were planning to head back tonight as we want to try their paella (and more mushrooms and churros) but time ran away from us so will have to be patient and go next week sometime.
But would definiitely recommend Rincon de Pepe for the food, service and atmosphere...can't wait...
Read moreJust left this restaurant and have to say it’s the worst meal / experience I have ever had! Very disappointed indeed. After reading the previous reviews we had high expectations for dinner and left sorely disappointed. The dishes arrived very quickly, the garlic bread started was chewy small rolls with melted butter, The prawns were partially raw, the potatoes were not cooked fresh, we sent back the pork belly (which arrived cold at our table, we asked for it to be cooked further - only to hear the microwave go on in the distance- we refused the dish) The scrambled egg and chorizo was cold and the ‘crispy’ aubergine in honey arrived to the table soggy. Worst meal ever. We also refused the chicken in white cream sauce as it arrived cold to the table. The restaurant was even busy, as there was only one other table of three eating. I don’t normally write reviews but this experience has left us Very upset and...
