Tapas Brindisa Battersea Reviews Summary

Location and Ambiance

Pros:

• "Brindisa has always been a favourite go-to Spanish tapas place, especially in a great location by the banks of the river Thames and the famous Battersea power station."
• "The food is fantastic, full of flavour, and the seating outside offers a nice view of the riverside."
• "What an amazing place around Battersea, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is really good."
• "A great location, cosy atmosphere, and stellar service at Battersea Power Station."

Cons:

• "The outdoor seating area is covered by a cheap-looking plastic tent, which ruins the special view they have."
• "The ONLY reason to go here is for an outside table on a sunny day to enjoy its riverside location; otherwise, the food is average tapas at relatively high prices, and the indoor restaurant is generic & dark."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The food is excellent, especially the bar snack of anchovies with caramelised onions, and everything is full of flavour."
• "Good quality and tasty tapas dishes; the octopus was a highlight, cooked to perfection."
• "The food was delicious, some portions were small for the price, but overall a great experience with lovely dinner."
• "Food was excellent, atmosphere was calm and lovely."

Cons:

• "The tapas served were not authentic, small, and the prices didn't justify the portion sizes and quality of the dishes."
• "We found the food to be quite salty, and the sangria by the glass was full of ice with little bits of fruit and no liquid."
• "The food is no way authentic. The prawn tasted like pre-cooked and then thrown in a hot tapas bowl with oil & garlic."
• "The food was VERY average for the price; the lemon chicken is rather dull."

• "Service was excellent, quick, efficient, professional, and very pleasant."

• "Staff were very warming and the space is very baby friendly."

Cons:

• "Despite the restaurant being close to empty, the service was incredibly slow."
