Even though they said they were closing soon, we had lovely food and service.

Amazing restaurant with wonderful food and a fantastic atmosphere! I?ll definitely visit again on my next trip to London. The staff is very kind, and I especially want to thank the manager, Ms. Fatima, for her help during an emergency. If you find yourself in Leadenhall, don?t miss the chance to stop by!

I usually don?t leave reviews, but after my experience at this restaurant, I felt like I had to. This is a late review, but the experience was so bad that I still remember it clearly.
First, the food was absolutely terrible. The albondigas tasted like canned dog food and left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth. Everything else I tried was no better. it all had that artificial, tin-like taste, as if it came straight out of a can.
I understand that the restaurant was busy and seemed short staffed, but what really bothered me was how the manager was treating the employees. Instead of helping or boosting morale, she was belittling and yelling at them. The staff was already overwhelmed, and they didn?t deserve to be treated that way.
To top it all off, another customer mentioned that this place has a mice problem and even showed me pictures of mice running around inside the restaurant. That was the final straw.
I would never recommend this place to anyone. If the food doesn?t make you sick, the environment probably will.

We were missing spanish food so when we saw the restaurant we came in and were pleasantly surprised ? the food was not too expensive and it was true to spanish cuisine. Our waiter was Jessica and she was very attentive and kind.

I'm Spanish and the place looked authentic, very nice inside. The albóndigas were okay, the croquetas didn't taste much but were fine, the tortilla de patata needed more salt and to be less cooked, and the montadito de cerdo barely had any bread, and the pork tasted like an Indian curry, it was very sweet and didn't taste anything like we would make it in Spain. The churros were good, but we make them more crunchy in Spain, those were soft inside and had cinnamon, but it gave it a good flavour; plus they come with hot chocolate. Overall okay, as we wanted to eat some Spanish food in London.

Great Tapas bar in Leadenhall Market. The food was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit and most definitely a place to return to again and again.

If someone recommends it to you, you better leave it and look for something that is not "sold" as Spanish food. And the octopus, the omelette and the squid don't even think about it. If the owner is or was in Spain, he has not known how to transmit it to the cook. And nothing about eating portions, at most, call it tapas.... Of course, at the price of food.
I'm sorry, but.....INADVISED.

Excellent service, good selection of tapas in a nice setting. But way too loud for a business lunch; we couldn't hear ourselves.

Organise a company Christmas party with La Vina. Fatima is very thoughtful throughout the process. From menu planning, setting up the place, taking extra orders, flexible about the deal... she has help to create a smooth process for the party planning.
The food was great! No complaints from my co-worker. We had a very good time.

The food at La Vina in Leadenhall Market was absolutely lovely, and the atmosphere was charming and everything you?d hope for from a tapas bar. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the server?s attitude, which was unfriendly and, frankly, rude.
Despite the great food and setting, the service charge of £30 felt completely undeserved. It?s regrettable that I paid it, as the staff member in question clearly needs a lesson in customer service. With better training and friendlier staff, this could have been a five-star experience. Instead, it?s a disappointing two stars.

I rarely review. But this place was TERRIBLE. Slow service . Expensive but crap food. Bad tourist joint experience. Avoid.

Food was average and usually only tepid. Service was slow at times, some dishes never arrived. I wouldn't rush back there at £50+ pp

Disappointed with this Spanish experience in the heart of Leadenhall Market. Good service but restaurant which is falling into disuse with a lack of maintenance.
The dishes are extremely lacking in taste and seem to be reheated. No cook on site. Our tortilla was simply reheated in the microwave. The white sauce poured over the patatas bravas ended up turning into a tasteless paste.
I unfortunately advise against it.
