After the rip-roaring success of the first Barrafina in Soho, owners Sam & Eddie Hart bring their delicious tapas and wine list to the heart of Covent Garden.

Setting up residency on Adelaide Street, this corner suite houses a striking long marble top bar, a state-of-the art open kitchen and a lower-ground floor that can be booked for private functions. The owners have worked hard to create a comfortable dining space, with lots of natural light and high ceilings contributing to the airy and relaxing feel.

The focus at Barrafina is to serve up a mouth-watering blend of classic and contemporary tapas that showcases the best ingredients from Spain and the British Isles alike. The specials board is so fresh that it has to be updated twice a day, and you'll pick between a decent spread of seafood, cold meats and chargilled treats. Feeling thirsty? Go ahead and check out their wine list; it's filled with crisp and fresh bottles and there's a particular focus on sherry. The venue also carries a range of cervezas and spirits, too.

A chilled out affair where guests are catered for on a first come, first served basis, we'd suggest heading down early to Barrafina, securing yourself a prime position and embracing everything this authentic tapas bar has to offer.
