[[Allolex]] has visited several times, and feels that this place has no direct competition in London. The food is excellent, service very good, the location ideal, and the lack of comfortable seating keeps the non-serious eaters away and the serious ones from settling in for too long. The idea for the restaurant comes from the famous Barcelona restaurant Cal Pep, and Barrafina's seating, high stools around a bar, is in keeping with Cal Pep's style. |

Since it's a tapas restaurant, how much your final bill will be really depends on how much of a glutton you are. [[Allolex]] and girlfriend tend to order quite a bit, but spend on average about £100-120 for both of us, including two bottles of cava (rosada). Even the cheaper wines are excellent here and nothing tastes better with this food than a bit of the bubbly. |
