Lively Soho tapas counter with standout tortillas, croquetas, and seafood; expect queues, counter seating, and premium prices for polished small plates.
Our take
Barrafina Dean Street delivers exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like molten tortillas and fresh seafood, supported by knowledgeable service and strong Soho location appeal. However, tight counter seating and occasional consistency variation prevent grade A territory, while queue management and tapas-sized portions at premium pricing create friction that keeps it solidly A-grade rather than exceptional.
One caveat: Queues and seat policies can frustrate; arrive early for smoother seating
