    Great little place. Lunch time visit. Great service; good food but the the floor was freshly washed and the not so subtle aroma of industrial strength bleach didn’t do much for the ambience or the taste of the food & wine for a while.

    This is a charming restaurant, with traditional Spanish decor, just off the main road in Fulham. The food is really good, with ample portions and reasonably priced. The service is charming and friendly. We were given a starter of delicious soup on the house as we walked in which made us feel very welcome.

    Always such a lovely experience at El Metro and each time I have brought new friends and they loved it too. A menu range of so many delicious traditional choices of tapas and tasty wine. The intimate Spanish feel really makes you think you are abroad! Staff are always very helpful and welcoming.

    Always very accommodating and as we had quite a late lunch pretty much had the place to ourselves. Good food and friendly and helpful service who never disappoint

    Went for tapas, food was good but not necessarily ’authentic’ tapas. Felt a bit more like home cooked food.

    Friendly service and received a surprise complimentary amuse bouche with a very tasty small cup of chicken soup. The paella for one was cooked to order and absolutely delicious , even better than the ones I had in Valencia .

    The food and the service was really good. We had the pork belly, paella and the squid in squid ink. They all were very nice. One thing we did not like is the seatings were way too close to each other.

    It was really good restaurant. Foods were delicious. Especially sea food paella was amazing. I suggest mussels in tomato sos and tapas with aubergine. Service were very good. They are really friendly.

    The food was very good. The service was good, just not perfect. Two of our orders came in correct but was rectified immediately. The restaurant is not suitable for young families or geared towards it. They do not have high chairs, or space to bring a buggy in. Baby had to stay on our laps. They do not hold any colouring/ paper for older children either.

    The food was not good, the prawns and the clams had the same sauce, it tasted like pure vinegar. I was expecting a lot as I am Spanish and it had really good reviews but unfortunately I will not come back. The service was good, the people was kind and they tried their best to pleased us but the food was definitely not good!

    I just moved to London from Spain and this restaurant made me feel just like home. The bravas were excellent, better than the ones you could find in many pubs in Madrid. Albóndigas and pimientos del padrón perfectly cooked. And last but not least, the attention and service from José was exquisite. Definitely coming back.
