My husband had an English beer (can't remember the name). Definitely enjoyable meal and atmosphere.

Wonderful Spanish restaurant in South Kensington. Our party booked a last minute dinner reservation…read moreon a Sunday evening. Glad we did because it was a full house by the time we left. We opted for indoor sheeting and the decor was that of a trendy restaurant in Spain. Bold wall colors and eclectic art. The staff was super attentive and informative about wine selections/recommendations. We ordered tapas instead of main courses. The salmon nigiri was unexpected from the menu but fantastic. The patatas bravas were in a reimagined state that at first glance had me wondering if some ingredients were missing. I stood corrected the minute I tried a piece - the "brava" sauce component is cleverly disguised and each portion was the perfect bite. Some other favorites were the pan con tomate, ham croquettes, and oxtail sliders. Overall, the ambience and meal was excellent. I would not classify this as a fusion restaurant, because they've stuck quite close to the mark when it comes to traditional Spanish tapas, but they've definitely put a modern spin on the classics and added some innovate new offerings.

I went here with some coworkers after work. Its the best authentic spanish tapas restaurant in London. Pretty pricey though but worth every bite.

I will definitely come back to try other dishes!

The manager here was incredibly kind and managed to seat me between reservations anyway, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, I didn't quite finish my meal in time before the next party arrived, but instead of rushing me, they graciously moved me to the bar so I could enjoy my dessert. What really struck me was the atmosphere. While I was sitting there, several people popped in just to say hello to the staff, which speaks volumes about how welcoming and family-esque this place feels. Hands down some of the best wait staff I've experienced. The food was fantastic. I had the ham croquettes, white wine, and churros with chocolate and having just been in Barcelona recently, I can honestly say this was the closest I've found to authentic tapas in London. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in London. A gem of a place with heart, hospitality, and incredible food.

A glass of wine each, lemon tart, coffee. Not cheap at £142 inc tip, but that's London for you...and I do hate paying for still water!

All were very good and the Oxtail, rice/seafood, and pluma Iberica were hauntingly scrumptious. Service was genuine, accommodating, caring and prompt. The best example of that was the timing and staging of dishes so we never got more than 2 at once and could enjoy each before the next plates arrived.

So while pug sitting for my best friend recently, I gave Don Pepe a shot. In short, I really liked it! I hasten to add that it is not quite as good as the dearly departed Toresano, but if you want quality tapas at a reasonable price, look no further than Don Pepe. The house red was pretty good. The chicken with garlic was excellent. The gambas ajillo was excellent but a fairly small portion. The calamari was great. The service was lovely and gave off a 'family' vibe. All in all, I was won over and I shall look forward to returning to Don Pepe very soon!
