Fantastic restaurant and lovely vibe. Sam gave us a great run through the menu and perfect service for the whole night. Definitely recommend and will be making Laxeiro our local hopefully!
Very nice and cozy little restaurant. Giving a strong home cook vibe. The octopus is very tender. I am not familiar to this level of tenderness because where I’m from we embrace the toughness or the octopus, but it’s nice. Recommended for anyone looking for a nice brunch or full course meal in the area.
Great service! Extremely fine quality Spanish menu.
We just learned that Laxeiro is closing down in a couple weeks This has easily been our favourite restaurant in the area that we frequented often on days out at Colombia Road market. I have one particular thing to say: the croquettas are to die for. I'll say it again: front page of the cookbook please!!
Fantastic! Excellent Spanish food and a great atmosphere.
Really friendly staff and the service was quick fire. The food was really tasty, portions on the slightly smaller side but still tasty! Shared paella and 3 other dishes!
Best Spanish food in London, family run and it shows! So good we had the sea bass for dessert. Hakim waited on us and couldn’t have asked for more. We’ll be back
Lovely meal!! There were 7 of us and the food was fantastic as we were able to share it all. We ordered both seafood and meat options and both were exquisite, my favourite probably being the octopus just because it’s a little unique. The staff were really busy but lovely, and the restaurant was cute and small but very Loud so please keep in mind. It was so loud I couldn’t think. But recommend for a nice Spanish meal
