Bar 61 Restaurant,

61A Streatham Hill, London SW2 4TX

"So disappointing. I agree with another post the reviews are what brought us to this restaurant. Waiters pleasant (drunk). Not worth the price; puddings over priced and gross. Won't be returning"

"Good place to try some old school cooking. The veal escalope and the sirloin were done to perfection. Amazing stuff, polite and knowledgeable, treating us really good. Served even limoncello and fresh fruits as end of the dinner without us ordering. Main dishes portions are big so be careful how many starters you’ll order. No speed service, no one will rush you to finish your food, we spend more than 3 hours there, and left with pleasant feelings. Will visit again in the future."

"I wanted to like this place and i expected to especially given all the great reviews. The restaurant itself smelled really damp and stale. The waiters were pretty unkempt, but they were friendly and nice. The food itself was very bland. I’ve had far better tapas in so many places in London. The portions are small and the prices are pretty high. Believe it or not, the food’s taste resembled the restaurants smell. It had this strangely stale taste to it, especially the potatoes and calamari which were fried. Finally, my friend and I both had very upset stomachs after eating here, there must be a hygiene issue or i have no idea what. In conclusion, this place is not nice. Not sure how they’re so amazingly rated at all."

"Dined here for a NYE meal with a friend. The food was mouthwatering and the staff treated us like old friends. Decor was stunning and we felt like we'd been transported abroad for the meal. So glad to have found this gem and will be making it somewhere to return to frequently. The general menu and tapas menu has so much choice which is one of the main reasons we chose to come here. See you soon Bar 61!"

"Great place for a casual and slightly boozy meal with friends. Had so much fun and such hilarious and attentive staff."
