Modern Spanish bar dining
There are five Barrafinas in London, serving modern Spanish tapas of exceptional quality. The original site is on Soho’s Dean Street; there are two in Covent Garden, Adelaide Street and Drury Lane; a fourth in Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross; and our first south of the river, in Borough Yards.
Each restaurant has an open kitchen, a beautiful marble-topped bar and stylish red leather stools, where guests can sit and watch the chefs at work. The a la carte menus comprise authentic regional dishes from around Spain and vary between each location. Each site also has their own daily changing specials menu. The succinct Barrafina wine list features the finest Spanish sherries, Cavas, and wines.
There are two beautiful lower ground floor private dining spaces; one at Barrafina Adelaide Street and one at Barrafina Drury Lane. Each have open kitchens with their own private chef working for your party. Our third private dining space is at Barrafina Coal Drops Yard with beautiful views overlooking Regent’s Canal. Barrafina Borough Yards has an atmospheric, semi-private snug area, suitable for a group of up to 14 and bookable online.

Miguel Caño of one-Michelin starred Riojan restaurant, Nublo, joins us as the next guest chef in the Barrafina Invita series, cooking a special 7-course tasting menu at @boroughyards for one night only.
Nublo occupies a historic 16th century palatial home in the heart of Haro, La Rioja, led by a team of young ex-Mugaritz chefs. Launching to critical acclaim in 2021, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star and Repsol Sun within months of opening.
Inspired by an abiding love of the region and its rich gastronomy, the restaurant aims to “create pure flavours, showcase wood-fired cuisine and embark on a culinary journey through La Rioja, with a nod to its culture, its native ingredients and its landscapes”. Here, the cutting-edge approach is very much inspired by tradition. 🔥
An optional wine pairing from the third-generation family business considered Riojan winemaking royalty, @bodegasmuga, will be available on the night.
Tickets cost £100 available via @resylondon

Barrafina Invita 4: Jose Maria Goñi Martínez
6 – 7th February, 2024
We are incredibly excited to announce @jmgonimartinez of Madrid’s Michelin-starred @elcluballard as the fourth guest chef in the series showcasing the breadth and quality of Spanish cooking from all over Spain and the rest of the world.
Tucked away in the historic Casa Gallardo, a magnificent Art Nouveau building located in a corner of the Plaza de España, El Club Allard first opened its doors to the public over twenty years ago. Since then, it has become one of Madrid’s most celebrated restaurants – awarded 2 Michelin stars before closing in 2021.
Re-opening last year under the expert guidance of legendary chef @martinberasategui, with head chef Goñi Martínez at the helm, El Club Allard regained its Michelin star – marking a new chapter in the restaurant’s storied past.
Goñi Martínez’s culinary career began at the prestigious @bculinary where he trained under Berasategui, considered one of the best chefs in the world and boasting 12 Michelin stars in his name, the highest number of any Spanish chef. The first of his stages was at Berasategui’s eponymous 3-Michelin restaurant in Lasarte-Oria, followed by a stint at his equally decorated Barcelona restaurant, @lasartebcn.
Goñi Martínez’s cooking incorporates influences from East Asia while embodying Berasategui’s unique vision of gastronomy, in which exceptional ingredients are treated with respect and technical precision.
In partnership with @resylondon, Barrafina Invita sees Barrafina’s Executive Chefs, Antonio Gonzales Milla and Francisco Jose Torrico, invite the best Spanish chefs or chefs cooking Spanish food over to cook a special menu for two days at Barrafina @boroughyards.
Book via the Barrafina Borough Yards @resylondon page, and select your preferred date in ‘Upcoming Events’. ❤️
