Quick info
About Tapas Brindisa London Bridge
Tapas Brindisa London Bridge is a tapas restaurant on Southwark St, a short walk from London Bridge and Borough Market. The menu changes regularly, built around ingredients sourced from the market, and ham is sliced at the bar rather than in the kitchen. Recurring plates include pork cheeks, chorizo with potatoes and egg, pan con tomate, croquettes, tortilla española, huevos rotos, and chicharrones with repollo con crema de ajo blanco, often alongside a jug of sangria. Walk-ins without a reservation are seated when space allows, and during busy periods guests waiting for a table are directed to the bar. Outdoor seating looks out toward the Shard, giving diners a spot to watch the street while they eat.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the prawns and the sangria, calling one dish a standout and the pitcher a favorite pairing alongside dishes like pork cheeks, chicharrones with repollo con crema de ajo blanco, and a toasted Tortilla Espanola. The Pan Con Tomate and sliced ham at the bar also draw praise, and several describe the front of house and servers as warm even when tables are packed, with one recounting a personalized regular relationship built over years. Sangria and cocktails come up often as reliable pairings. One diner had mixed feelings, enjoying the Pan Con Tomate but finding the croquettes skippable and the huevos rotos unevenly cooked and salty. Multiple reviewers note it's pricey, with one citing roughly £120 without alcohol. Outdoor seating near the Shard and quick accommodation without reservations recur as pleasant surprises, closing several visits on a note of returning.

“On a sticky hot 30° London day, going for some Spanish Tapas seemed like a good way to spend a Monday evening, and Brindisa at London Bridge, near Borough Market did not disappoint. Service: excellent Food: Delicious Location: great for people watching as the world wandered by Would highly recommend the Pork Cheeks, chicken, chorizo, and potatoes with egg and ham. All washed down with a jug of Sangria. Friendly and prompt service. Well worth a visit”

“I’ve been going to Brindisa at Borough Market for years. From my very first visit, the service has been nothing short of amazing!!!! I really want to give a massive shoutout and a huge thank you to Norberto, who has been looking after me for at least 3 years now, whether it’s for my birthdays or just casual catch-ups with friends! He honestly treats me like family haha, he is always so incredibly sweet and attentive!!! Today I also met Marcos for the first time, and his service was simply IMPECCABLE! Literally left me speechless!!! Even though the restaurant was completely packed and super busy today, we still felt so special and well taken care of. From the moment you walk through the door, the hospitality is flawless!!! The vibe is amazing (the kind of place you just want to sit and stay at for hours), and the food is always 10/10!!!! I’ve posted about you guys so many times on my pages and have received hundreds of comments from my followers who went and absolutely loved it!!! Anyway! A huge thank you to the Brindisa family, and especially to Norberto and Marcos for being so incredibly flawless and making my day so much better!!!”

“The guy at front of house has great energy, really welcoming and friendly, short wait for the table to guided us to the bar, nice guy. Food overall and as a 4.5 star. Food was all good, 1 real stand out wow factor dish, the prawns. The ham that’s sliced at the bar is great. Despite being mega busy, the service was great and food was cleverly cooked fresh as was piping hot, really impressed. Expensive but expected pricing considering location. £120 and we didn’t have any booze. Location is great, short walk from London Bridge. Outside seating was prime people watching spot, on a busy Friday evening. Again, special mention to the front door of house, what a guy!”

“After strolling through Borough Market it was nice to relax and enjoy a Tortilla Espanola at Tapas Brindisa. The customer service was exceptional and my toasted Torilla Espanola was delicious! Excellent service and delicious food makes me a repeat customer. I look forward to returning on my next visit to London!”
