    I regularly go to Bar San Juan, I would go there over any other restaurant. If I can't book a table I will prefer to attempt a walk-in on the day than book somewhere else. Their food is amazing and those that disagree so not actually appreciate what good and genuine Spanish food tastes like. The staff are always friendly and attentive, even though it's a busy restaurant. If you don't order alcohol you can easily get a very good amount of food for £20-25 which definitely fills you up. I would definitely highly recommend this restaurant.

    Never been before but I’d go again. Not been to Spain but I bet it’s authentic. Don’t drink beer or wine but I’m sure theirs is fabulous. Don’t eat meat, fish or cheese but the vegan tapas were fantastic. A jewel.

    Great, authentic Spanish tapas bar. Tasty food and good atmosphere. We went after our Spanish class (definitely Beginners!!) and the native Spanish speaking staff allowed us to practice our rudimentary Spanish when ordering, helping out when needed. Muchos gracias! Ox cheeks, lamb parcels, octopus.....all very tasty.

    Been coming for years.Great all round night, the best tapas by far, good wine and friendly staff. Went to San Sebastián for foodie holiday and bar San Juan is up there with the best.Only downside is getting a reservation due to how popular it is.
