Reviews in London

Great food, wonderful ambience, impeccable service - thank you!

One of the best fish restaurants I’ve been to ! Food was delicious and the fish was cooked to Perfection to the point the sea bass would melt in your mouth ! Generous portion sizes as well ! Service was great and the restaurant had a relaxing ambiance . Will definitely be returning in the near future !

Best tapas ive had in ages... 16 of us visited and had a fantastic evening. Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Food was superb... every dish was excellent (we had the set menu)... piping hot and amazing flavours. Couldn't fault anything. Great atmosphere and the live music at the end was fab. This is our second group booking and my 5th visit personally. I can thoroughly recommend and can't wait to go back when next in London.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and affordable. That’s why my husband and I keep coming back

Great good and lovely ambience!

Absolutely brilliant meal, especially the Eton Mess dessert. Five star.

I went with my wife on a Friday lunchtime for the first time in a long while and had a great time. Food was very tasty, wine and cocktails were excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. We live nearby in North Finchley and this is one of the best restaurants in the area. We will be coming back much more regularly from now on!

Food and service just lovely

If you are in this part of London, you must go for a meal here. The food was fabulous, the service faultless and on a Friday or Saturday night the music is really good. We love it here, every dish we ordered was perfect, I have to say the squid was exceptional. It is great value for money and a lovely lady called Maria is the manager who makes sure the food and service is top class. I can't wait to go back there.

I really enjoyed my first experience at this restaurant. We both had delicious fish - two different types and some sides. It was all beautifully cooked and really tasty. I will definitely be back. The only negative thing I would comment on is that service with a smile from one particular member of staff would have made our experience even better.

Had a fantastic first visit to this excellent restaurant on Saturday night. Terrific menu making it hard for all five of us to choose what to eat but all happy with our food and wine.

We were in London for a study trip with a group of 26 people. We ate at Barcelona Tapas on a Thursday evening and had the best experience. I pre-ordered a set menu for the group and this was served in several courses throughout the evening. Ordering additional dishes and additional desserts was also no problem. The food tasted as if in Spain and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for a good tapas restaurant I would certainly recommend coming here.

Our go to restaurant. The best seafood ever.

Blown away by the quality of food and service more akin to Mayfair but without the prices. We live 5 minutes away, drive past the place twice a day and have always said we must try this place one day. Last night was the night and it looks like Matthews Kitchen will now be a regular food spot for us. The Bouillabaisse was to die for as was the Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Excellent fresh seafood, quality of the dishes are fantastic, served beautifully and the service is enjoyable! Friendly and very attentive staff - been here a few times and they are always so smiley and passionate. For fresh fish and shellfish as well as veggy and meat option - the value for money is insanely cheap. You go central London and pay so much for not that great of dishes… thank you for always making our visits memorable and enjoyable!

Excellent food beautifully presented. Quiet atmosphere on a Saturday night which is rare. The menu range is small making it easy to order. Expensive.

The food was great. I must say though I am disappointed that we were not offered the set menu as we went on Sunday and it is available all day. We ordered food that was on that menu but we ended up paying full price. The only reason we are aware of this is due to sending me the link for a review.

Great service, warm and friendly family run place. Food was fantastic too, one of the best in the area will definitely be going back
