  “Had a great meal at Bravas Tapas in St Katharine Docks. The food was excellent from start to finish, and the location by the marina creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. A special mention goes to the Albariño wine, which was a perfect match with the octopus. The octopus was tender, well-cooked, and full of flavor. We also tried the beef rib and the potatoes, both of which were delicious and beautifully prepared. The quality of the ingredients, presentation, and flavors made for a very authentic tapas experience. Combined with the lovely waterfront setting and attentive service, it is a fantastic spot for either a casual lunch or an evening meal with friends. Highly recommended if you're visiting St Katharine Docks and looking for great Spanish food and wine. Will definitely be back.”

  “Arrived late evening and was shown straight to a table. The lamb chops were fantastic as was the foie gras. We wanted to know how the lamb was so tasty and delicate and our server was happy to take time explaining how it was cooked. Good wine list and opted for an inexpensive rose. Suited our taste as a very dry and highly fruited rose wine. Went back to this restaurant on our final night in London and the tapas was again superb. Not busy inside. Very good and friendly staff. For a restaurant in St Katherine's dock the price seemed appropriate.”

  “We were a walk-in on a Saturday night and we're able to sit outside. The restaurant was fairly busy, but we were in no rush, so happy to go with the flow. Food was amazing, great selection, including drinks and in a wonderful setting. The service was good, the girls worked tirelessly to keep the small plates moving, and they were all so good. The prawns were fantastic, as we're the lamb chops and the pineapple and fennel salad, but I would recommend all the dishes we had. Well worth a second (& third) visit. Thanks for a wonderful evening.”

  “Service here is fast and has the traditional dishes to expect but well made. Jason ballota,patatas bravas, cheeses, and best lamb chops of my life. The Pam aum tomakut tasted like a whipped emultion of tomatos and olive oil vs grated and presented like hot gazpacho but have had it here before the classic way and it was phenomenal. Make it a stop if you can in St. KATHERINES docks.”

  “Sen sa tio nal! Of course it did help that we were advised and looked after by the owner. Yes it did. His care, attention to detail and guidance - 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 top performance. Yes it did help that they opened a secluded romantic space for our celebration with the loved one. Now food and drink: Riojas - amazing. Both red and white. 💯 Food: gambas - interesting, delicious. Octopus - lovely. Crusted sesame tuna - oh hello - we have a very interesting one. Patatas bravas - classic. And now to two surprises: Pan con tomate - sounds basic, but oh my oh my. And Foie Gras “Crema catala” - 💯 must try for anyone interested in food and flavours. Top marks!”

  “We booked a table at Bravas Tapas for dinner because we wanted something near the water. The food was really tasty, especially the octopus and the small chorizo sausages. It’s a pretty small place and it got very loud once all the tables were full, so it’s not the best spot for a quiet chat. Everything came out of the kitchen quickly and the staff were on top of things. I’d go back for the food, but maybe during a quieter time of day.”

  “A very pleasant restaurant with a calm, cozy and slightly sophisticated atmosphere. Tables can be reserved in advance. Offering a good range of wine by the glass or bottle plus a wide range of other beverages. The tapas menus has multiple offerings each priced seperately. Servings are slightly larger than expected and can be made into a meal if that is what you are looking for, or treated just as a side to your drink. Located in a quiet but safe area facing a canal. Overall a very pleasant experience.”

  “Without doubt the best Tapas restaurant I've visited. Given the fact we visited Madrid last year and ate in some very good restaurants this is a big statement but I'll stand by it. Every dish was faultless but the real star of the show was the Pork Belly which is up there with some of the best tasting food I've ever had. We live in the North of Scotland and usually make one trip to London a year but we'll definitely come back here next time we're down. Can't recommend Bravas Tapas highly enough”

  “This was the second time we visited here to eat. We wish we hadn't. The first time was excellent. This visit not so much. We ordered padron peppers which are ment to be slightly burnt on the outside, very well seasoned and drizzled with olive oil. They weren't slightly burnt at all and were mostly raw. Very little salt and a tiny amount of oil so unless they've changed the chef, they arrived with very little flavour. The tomato's on bread were ok. The first time they were stunning. Very little seasoning and very pale in colour. A slight taste of tomato too. The anchovies were delicious but came from a tin and were presented in the tin they were delivered in or similar which gave the impression you were paying around £8 just for someone to open the lid. The lamb chops (X2) were very under cooked (in my opinion) and felt slimy. This said, the braised beef was beautiful!! Full of flavour and had very thin onion rings on the top which we lovely. The strawberry smoothie was delicious too. But for £70+ it was a lot that we didn't enjoy. I didn't complain because we're eaten most of it as we were hungry and it was busy so we paid as and left quickly. Such a shame. This could hopefully be a one off and I would recommend going in the hope you experience what we did the first time we went!”
