We’ve long been fans of Barrafina, the delicious Spanish tapas restaurant in Soho owned by Sam and Eddie Hart, two of the most charming guys in the business (also owners of Fino and Quo Vadis). Our only quibble is that on popular nights, with their no-reservation policy the queue can get a little long. So it’s great news then that they finally found another site and on Monday, opened their second branch. With wrap-around windows and high ceilings looking out onto Adelaide Street just around the corner from The National Portrait Gallery and St Martin’s Lane, there is the same mix of classic and contemporary tapas on offer along with some new dishes such as carpaccio of Mediterranean prawns with bonito. There’s a private dining room too (for up to 60 people) and whilst it also has a no reservations policy, you can order drinks and order smaller tapas whilst you wait for your seat.
