This Battersea restaurant serves up a menu of artisan wines and Spanish tapas, all within the shadow of the iconic Battersea Power Station.
Whether you call it Tapas or, as the Brits say, “picky bits”, there’s no denying that Tapas is the epitome of summer dining.
What’s not to love? You can order a whole host of different plates knowing that nothing will go to waste.
Brindisa Tapas is one of the many restaurants dotted around Battersea Power Station vying for your attention, offering a relaxed dining experience with a menu of artisan wines.
There are numerous branches in south London including Richmond, London Bridge and Battersea.
The restaurant is situated directly in front of the pier, making it easily accessible by Thames Clipper services from Greenwich and central London.
We began the experience with some cocktails followed by a selection of olives, along with two different varieties of croquettes which consisted of a spinach and honey filled option and a rich ham filled croquette.
Brindisa serves a selection of classic Spanish cocktails like Sangria as well as a Spanish twist on a classic Negroni.
The restaurant also serves a delicious Pan de Coca, a Spanish bread served alongside an almond butter spread, and for cheese lovers be sure to try the Table de Quesos, a Torte de Baros made with goat’s milk and unpasteurised milk which had a deliciously creamy texture.
Moving onto the main event, we moved away from cocktails with some authentic Spanish Rioja wine, along with a serving of various meats and seafood including Gambas Al Ajillo – a king prawn dish, smoky Chorizo, and grilled Octopus if you fancy being a bit more daring.
They also had a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options like classic Patatas Bravas and tenderstem broccoli, served with crunchy almonds and shallots which we of course had to sample.
Finally for dessert we tried a rather unusual ice cream made with goat’s cheese, which ended up being a light dessert which wasn’t too sweet with the creaminess of an Indian Kulfi.
If you’re looking for somewhere offering really authentic Spanish dining along with comfortable seating and riverside views, Brindisa is well worth the visit this summer.
