Quick info
About Las Iguanas - Newport
Las Iguanas - Newport is a restaurant in Newport, found at 75 Friars Walk Shopping Centre. Lunchtime centres on bottomless tapas, with new dishes brought out as others are finished, so a table can keep working through the selection. A bottomless brunch is also served, with drinks that keep coming through the meal. The bar runs a cocktail menu, and happy hour brings a two-for-one offer on selected cocktails, which suits a catch-up with friends. The kitchen also serves halal food, which matters for guests choosing where to eat as a group.

Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is the most frequent draw, with several reviewers calling it the best they have been to, citing quick drinks and the cocktails a bartender made, plus a server who kept the drinks coming. Close behind is the bottomless tapas at lunch, where dishes kept arriving as plates emptied and the Cholula Wings and calamari stood out. One reviewer singles out the burger, and another mentions a lunch special. Service is praised repeatedly as warm, friendly and attentive, with several servers credited for making visits feel special. Atmosphere is described as warm, inviting and comfortable, though two reviewers visited on quiet weekday occasions: one felt it was a bit too quiet at times and wanted the music turned up, while another still found a good atmosphere. The main caveat is choice, as one colleague visit enjoyed the food but found there were not a lot of options. One lunch group close the account by noting they would repeat the bottomless tapas every time they are in Newport.

“Elleyah delivered absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive throughout our visit. Nothing was too much trouble, she anticipated what we needed before we even asked and made sure everything was perfect. Her professionalism, friendliness, and positive energy made the whole experience feel special. Staff like Elleyah are the reason we come back. She’s a credit to the team and deserves recognition for her exceptional service.”
