Bienvendo from Thyme & Lemon Tapas Bar & Restaurant. Our newly opened, warm and inviting venue is set within the very heart of Islington.
Our drive and passion is to constantly serve our patrons authentic and mouth watering Basque, Catalan and Iberian classic tapas with our own unique and innovative twist.
We are a buzzing, casual and fun hangout with an awe inspiring interior, atmospheric lighting. High bars stools are arranged around a marble bar area, where you can eat and drink the night away. From here, you can almost taste and drink in the very essence of Madrid!
Traditional tapas appetisers are passionately created like croquettes, meatballs and fine Iberian ham and these classics are joined by delicacies such as fresh lobster and duck leg specialities.

    Nice place with a cool ambience to it. Perfect for a pre theatre visit. Food was lovely, the calamari with lemon and chilli was an utter delight. Some of the best I've tasted.

    Lovely tapas, some staple favourites with more unusual dishes. All the food was lovely. The ambience was relaxed but stylish, so great for catch up with friends or special occasion. The staff were friendly and good service. Will definitely go back again.

    The menu is large and varied, and the food well prepared. Poerions are ample. Service was very good, but the room was cold despite heaters being turned on. Prices are quite reasonable.

    Overall food is good. The service was friendly and they were good about taking a photo. However, on the website they advertise a 3 tapas deal for 12.50. We arrived to see a sign outside 3 tapas deal for 14.50. I wasn't amused. The waitress then apparently had no idea about the deal and went to check. Deal for 14.50. Fine, I note that the deal online was more restricted in choice anyway. We order, generally enjoy the food and get the bill. The deal was not taken into account. The waiter then says we should have let the waitress know. This annoyed me as I'm pretty sure she asked him about it. There was only saving c. 5.75 and had to choose 2 dishes from the sections. I've previously recommended this restaurant on another site but this experience annoyed me. They need to amend their website and educate their staff.

    Really good service and food. Unfortunately we went when it was really quiet so we missed out on the ambience but the staff and food were fantastic. Would go back.

    Enjoyable tapas with friendly service. Could be a bit more authentic without much effort. For example, our tortilla seemed to have been deep fried or crisped up under a grill and was not at all runny in the middle. The iberico pork was excellent however.

    The food was absolutely delicious especially the scallops. Unfortunately the service was bad and non attentive. We had to ask them for everything we needed like more drinks, dessert menu, bill. We were there nearly 2 hours so we weren't even rushing. I had also asked if it was possible to get happy birthday written on a dessert plate for my girlfriends birthday prior to the meal which they said they could do. But when the dessert came there was nothing.

    Pleasant relaxed atmosphere, willing service and well prepared tapas make this restaurant a good and convenient option for casual or pre/post theatre dining in this part of Islington

    Interesting food options that ranged from good to delicious, but on the pricey side. I can't commend on the drinks list, as it was a non-alcoholic night for me and my friend. I would definitely go back.
