The food was great. The staff were helpful but the restaurant is in the arch of London Bridge station so is a little cramped and noisy with trains going overhead very frequently. That said if you come for the food it is really quite good! read more

We had a fantastic experience at Lobos. The drinks were good. And the food was perfect for the 4 of us. The bread and butter was to die for the butter was magical. The steak was cooked to perfection. We all wished we had more of the secret pork Iberica but it was amazing as were the the potatoes that came with it. The meatballs were good but not great and the patatas bravas were just okay. Definitely would come back. The service was quick and helpful! read more

My new favorite dinner spot in the area. All of their tapas items were incredible. I loved the garlic shrimp the most. The highlight of the meal (pictured) was the amazing bone in steak. Cooked to perfection with a nice hit of flake salt to set off the delicious beef flavor. This place is not to be missed! read more

I made a reservation for 945pm for three people on a Monday night, using the restaurant web page. The online reservation was accepted. I received a text confirming the reservation. We arrived two minutes early, and the restaurant was supposed to be open for another hour and 15 minutes, but we were turned away at the door, because they said the kitchen was closed. I guess they were too lazy to stay open and honor our confirmed reservation. read more

Great service - and quick. Food though... Blasé. Padron peppers were boring. Croquettes were oily. Sausages were the best part. And calamari was. Fine. There are so many other tapas places in the city that are far far better. read more

They accepted our 9:45 reservation, we walked in right at the correct time and they said they were closing in 10 minutes. Now we're left hungry with nowhere else to go. read more

Tapas were great. Croquettes were especially delicious! Sangria and cheesecake were great too.

Pretty damn good. Came through here on a Saturday afternoon after exploring Borough Market, and was pleasantly surprised with the food here. We ordered 2 things the Charcuterie Plate and the Ribeye with Foie gras. The Charcuterie Plate : Quality meats. Fresh cut proscuitto, and really good salami. Cheese was really good as well. Get this if you need a snack its not the largest portion for the price. Ribeye w Foie Gras: Man this thing was tasty. Cooked just right and the foie gras on top of it just took it to the next level. It wasnt the biggest cut, but then again we are at a tapas spot, so if you're wanting a bigger portion they do have bigger steak on the menu to be shared. The drinks here were good also, so if you need to step away from the craziness of borough market check this place out. read more

Lobos Meat and Tapas - octopus, potato brava, sangria, iberico ham, prawn - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - London, XGL

We came, we dined, we drank wine, we gluttoned and more. This is pure food porn of the best kind. Marvelous, spectacular, hitting all the right cylinders. We had: Iberico Ham - stupidly good, possibly the best ever to pass my lips White Anchovies - lemon, onion, a pico de gallo, superb Patatas Bravas Steak with foie - hush your mouth, that was pure sin Pork cheeks Encrusted lamb chops on the bone that melted in the mouth Grilled Octopus Multiple glasses of a luscious Tempranillo wine that paired so well And the service? Impeccable from young English lasses that were more than just good servers. Ours new her wines quite well, was able to explain any questions about the preparation and more. And selections arrived at the table quickly with little delay, the result an entire evening sort of melting into one great experience. There is a LOT of good competition in the hood, particularly with the epic Borough Market a few doors down so if you're going to have a restaurant you'd better bring your A game. There are other versions of this around the city and they all seem to be well respected. If they're anything like this new one, I get it. 5 stars, solid, no b.s. read more

Unreal how good the food is. Tapas staples like pan y tomato and sangria are excellent. Inventive iberico pork platter is killer. don't shop the desserts! read more

Great experience! Good service, nice variety of tapas. This gets close to Spain, which isnt easy.

This was a great little find. I've tried many Spanish tapas in the US + Spain and who would have thought in London I would come to discover such an amazing tapas restaurant. This is my favorite tapas place. Next time I return to London I will surely come back. Try the Chuleton (sirloin). So juicy and tender. Fun drinks and a friendly staff. This place is a can't miss! read more

Lobos Meat and Tapas - Chuleton - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - London, XGL

Absolutely a m a z i n g! The food standard here is so great, I wish I could give it a 6th star. I've tried many, so many Spanish Restaurants in town, practically all of them and not a single reaches the flavours and quality of Spanish cuisine like this one. I want to eat all my meals here when I'm hungry. They have a great selection of Tapas on the menu, including two of my favourite, Tortilla and Manchego. There is also a good variety of meat dishes and I specially recommend the Secreto Iberico. Basically, you will enjoy anything you order from the menu, but don't hesitate asking the staff for any suggestions as they are super friendly and welcoming. The girls are very kind and they are always smiling. It is true that the prices are a bit high, but it is worth paying for the quality of food and the service you get here. This place makes me feel nostalgic about those Barcelona nights, but experiencing them in my home town is even a bigger pleasure. read more

Lobos Meat and Tapas - Have you even tried the "Secreto"? - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - London, XGL

I may have found my new favorite place when it comes to Spanish restaurants in London. I have held José at Bermondsey Street as the number one and they are still excellent (although I noticed that they have gone for worse wine there nowadays). Lobos is located under the railway arches by Borough Market and it is a very nice space split over 2 floors. The focus is Spanish tapas and meat - two of my favorite things. We sampled several different tapas and the iberico pork selection. The tapas were very good and generous sized dishes (more like mid-sized dishes than tapas) but the Iberico pork selection was just amazing. The pork was perfectly prepared and while I was really stuffed I just wanted more. The wine selection was also interesting, especially a lot of nice affordable Spanish white wines and some decent cavas. The wine glasses are a bit odd and would perhaps not be my first choice for glasses but they were still decent. The staff were also very friendly, made sure to pay attention so never any long waits. Price level is pretty decent as well, I would not say it is cheap but for the quality it is very good value for money so I will be back here. read more

Really great food and friendly staff. We had an assortment of seafood, croquettes, mushrooms, and salad, then topped everything off with mouthwatering desserts. All the dishes were fresh and flavourful. The menu had a reasonable and balanced variety to choose from as well. Staff were very friendly. They were flexible in finding us a table without a reservation and patient as we ordered one additional main after finishing our desserts. Ambience was cosy and intimate. One downside was that the noise level at times got quite high, which meant we needed to shout a little to be able to hear each other. Would love to return and try all the other dishes! read more

Great tapas place, was lucky to get a table Friday evening for four persons. Great food, very tasty and in perfect sizes for tapas to try different part of the menu. My personal favorite was the lamb, great seasoning and served medium rare as I love it. Why not 5 stars....it's very loud since it's a small place and tables are very close to each other. Good service and flow in food. read more

Absolute gem near Borough market . Tiny place . Most tables only for two people . Make a reservation !

Not quite sure why this place gets 5 out or 5 stars! Granted, if you grew money on trees, and only cared about the food quality, then this place has some amazing Spanish meats. But even then the food quality probably only deserves 4, 4.5 out of 5 stars. But the pricing is high, even for London standards, for what is quite a casual tapas place with tables packed together, and for the portion sizes you get. read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff! The owner was super nice promised a table for 2 in half an hour and constantly kept us updated on the progress. When half an hour was up and we still waited with our drinks at the bar he brought a great starter plate of serano Ham to apologise. And once we finally got seated the food and our waitress were great. The place is small but the quality of food high, the prices fair and the location amazing, just on the London Bridge, 2 minutes walk from the shard. If you are in the area. Please check it out! read more

Okay so was craving tapas and I was looking at some nice places and found this place. Made a reservation. As we walked in we were greeted everyone was nice and we sat down. The service is amazing and everyone is really nice and nice to look at....haha Anyway the food was okay it was good but it was pricey my favorite thing were the croquetas. So I recommend those. The sangria was with white wine and that was okay too I've had better. So all in all I do recommend this place. Good food, good atmosphere. Would come again read more

Time for yet more Spanish tapas? Hell yeah. On another London Bridge session, we hunted out this Spanish Gem next to Borough Market. Down a dark tunneled alley way off the main road, you happen on this two floor tapas joint where it can be a tight squeeze. There is always a waiting list at peak times, so its best to get in as early as you can. As is the tapas style, the menu is full of little dishes to share. All your traditional favourites appear with a few creative dishes to shake things up. Having waited for 15 minutes (we were lucky), we were sat at stools just opposite the bar, in a narrow area. We watched as more hungry faces poured into the establishment, eyeing up our tables to see if we were at bill stage. As this is a quick turnaround spot, service was spot on. You don't really feel rushed as you clearly get what this place is about. It's in and out. If you are not seated in the right area, the lack of comfort contributes to you not sticking around either. We did not check out upstairs, but I suspect the seating is more comfortable up there. We were on the raised ground floor in the very "bar" area. We mixed our selections up with padron peppers (no spicy ones unfortunately - sad face), pan con tomato (a popular Catalonian dish), croquetas (filled with ham, chorizo and smoked bacon), mixed mushrooms with tuffle oil and a fried egg, potato bravas and one of my favourites, chorizo and morcilla (similar to black pudding) with fried quail eggs and piquillo peppers. All of the dishes perfectly complimented each other and made for a great sharing experience. Next time I go (which will be soon), I have to try the pork cheeks, as well as ribeye and foie gras. That will be a meat filled tapas date! read more

I am sure it is no surprise, at least to the people who have been reading my reviews, that I like Spanish cuisine. Spanish tapas to be exact. Not only do I like the bite size Spanish dishes due to them being a great companion with wine, but also due to the great meats coming from the region. Pork, beef, duck, you name it. I love them all, but especially I love a good Iberico ham. During our last trip to London, we visited Lobos. It was perhaps the best pork-experience of the year and we had some nice wines as well. Lobos is located next to Borough Market under the London railway. I love it how in London the old railway arches are utilized for shops and restaurants. The spaces are cozy and I don't really mind the noise of the trains. It is a part of the experience. Lobos is built on two floors and the narrow space is used efficiently. It has a meat market feel, but nothing too trendy. Lobos has just the right kind of simple charm. We were seated upstairs in a comfortable two-seater. The first thing I noticed, was that the service was very friendly. The second that the wine list was long and reasonably priced. We started of with some Mon Marcel Cava Rosado and Torre del Cava Reserva 2010 (6.25£ per glass each), both nice and fresh aperitifs. The rosado was the way I like it: Catalonian style with deep red color and full taste, not the light style of cava often made for the export market. To accompany the starters, croquetas, migas and arroz con costra; I had a glass of white Rioja and my date an unoaked 100% Xarel.lo (both around 6£ per glass). And as companion to our main, the amazing Iberico pork selection, I chose an Albarino (7£ per glass). That was definitely the best wine I had all night. All the wines were good value for money. Now back to that pork platter. I think this is my all time favorite pork-dish in the whole of London. Yes, even better than the Secreto Iberico at Jose's. There were three different types of cuts: fillet, Secreto and Presa. All came wonderfully medium rare. Now I like my meat nice and red, but I was a bit surprised that we were not asked at all how we would like it served. I agree, "almost mooing" is the best, but I also know that is not how everybody wishes their meat. Or at least, perhaps warn that the meat will come out very pink. They also had some other interesting mains: leg of lamb, pork cheeks and ribeye with foie gras. This is definitely the place for a carnivore. All in all, Lobos is a wonderful addition to the London tapas-scene. A casual place with great food, wine and laughter. The wine list gives a good snapshot of what Catalonia has to offer and prices by glass and by bottle are reasonable. I would love to come here with a party of four to six people and take a tour around the wine list. The pork, well, I already said it, is divine. Lobos is not to be missed if you are in London. read more

Cool ambiance, especially on the second floor. Super friendly service and the wonderful aroma lures you in with an encouragement to try a variety of dishes. We had the meat and cheese board, potatoes, croquettes, and lobos bun. The croquettes were my favorite but everything was delicious. Highly recommended if you like tapas restaurants. read more

Lobos Meat and Tapas - Thank you so much for your smile and dynamism!!! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - London, XGL

While the food is great, good atmosphere from music and cozy setting, it was all put into a negative light by the staff: The manager was exceptionally rude and was rushing us to leave the table we'd pre-booked just 15 minutes after we were seated. We got moved less than hour after arriving before we had ordered food (because one of our party had arrived late). It seems they are more interested in turn over of tables than providing a place for people to catch up. The waitresses are not all fluent in English, so it made communicating with them a bit of a challenge, but they were at least all friendly. read more

Really fun space and attentive staff. They have a good selection of dishes - the monkfish was the best. The drinks were nicely prepared as well. It is quite pricey for certain items although many seemed to be in line with the going rate. The only subpar dish we had was the meatballs - a bit bland. read more

Brilliant spot for tapas and a wonderful atmosphere... Also love the soap in the bathroom with the exfoliate beads very nice touch. We had dinner here Saturday night starting with the ham, chorizo and cheese board followed by some tapas and finished with rib eye with foie gras which was wonderful. Would recommend this place for sure read more

Meat and cheese board had too little to offer considering the price of the item. Tomato salad was covered in paprika, made it hard to eat. Meatballs were very good, but not enough to make up for the rest of the meal. read more

Wonderful experience. Warm, friendly service & delicious food. Perfect place to grab a relaxing lunch after visiting the Borough Market. Had the Chuletòn (sirloin), tender and tasty. Padron Peppers perfectly done, croquetas nicely fried. Originally wanted to try Padella, which is 2 minutes further down the road, but didn't fancy the long queue outside in the cold or the counter seating. So happy we found Lobos. We'lll be back! read more

To sum it up, Lobos is an instant upgrade of Brindisa without a shadow of a doubt. The cooking of the porks are nothing short of class, the Spanish wine selection is also excellent with a fine range of sherry and cava. The prices are not cheap but I was lucky enough to have a 50% off with the soft launch offer, you are getting some real quality Spanish cooking and not many places in london can match its delightful Iberico pork, not to mention the staff are heart warming and super friendly to make Lobos such a great Spanish tapas bar addition to London Bridge. read more

We just moved to London from San Francisco and I was beginning to fear that the London cliche of bad food was going to be a reality. I didn't understand this because there is so much good food in Europe why wouldn't there be people that just come from other countries and bring their food. Lobos quelled my fears and answered my questions. It was like being transported back to Spain. Great food great staff. I got everything Iberico I could and all was great. (One of the few things cheaper here in London than in the states) Thank you yelp for pointing me in the right direction. I've found the number of reviews are far less out here, but still serves to point me the right way! Overall the borough market and area have been a great repose of good food so very happy to have gone to the area. read more
