Our favourite in London. Barrafina is a Michelin starred Spanish tapas restaurant. You will be served the best food of your life at a long bar, and watch the chef assemble the dishes in front of you. You have to arrive for lunch at 11.45 or dinner at 4.45 and cue for 15 mins if you want a place. Unmissable food and service. Great location to combine with a show in the West End.
