Always return to this gem that serves traditional Spanish flavours with a twist of modern cuisine. All tapas are delicious and there are several mains I come back to like the mouthwatering ‘Sea & Land Rice’. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. A must-visit.

We went for the tasting menu with wine and it was well worth the money - really nice way to spend our anniversary, wine was excellent and the octopus was my favourite course, so good. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and bar. Georgia our server was really effective in timing the courses so we weren't left glasses empty or long pauses without food - they made us a strawberry gin to cheers with when we made our way out (I've been back for a few times since, best drink) - highly recommend a visit!

Hated the high seats. Uncomfortable and unnecessary. Plenty of space so obviously a design feature. Not conducive to a relaxing meal. One friend found it very uncomfortable as she was struggling to rest her feet. The meal was distinctively average. Lacked the flavour you would expect. Overall we felt the menu lacked variety and imagination.

La Bandera is a restaurant serves classic Spanish cuisine, with a wide selection of tapas. The décor is in colours of the Spanish flag and there are usually Spanish clients, including resident premiership footballers. We had the 7 dishes menu and were not disappointed – included Croquetas de Chiripon en su tinta (squid in its ink croquettes, served with home-made green alioli, Carrilleras de Ternera (slow cooked pigs’ cheeks), chicken, Pulpo a la Gallega (octopus), Rabas de Calamar (deep fried squid) and Parrillada de Verduras (grilled vegetables). The wine list is not extensive –we settled for a Serè 2016, a Spanish red from Montsant a white Rioja. The service was very attentive and would recommend this restaurant for anyone in a tapas and Rioja frame of mind.
