Harden's survey result
Summary
This “long-lived favourite” in Waterloo is packed early most evenings before shows at the nearby Young and Old Vic theatres. “Love the atmosphere” and the “fabulous tapas and wines” – although “the menu hasn’t changed since it opened”. Not everything stays the same, though – “now there are good tables outside and you can book”.
Summary
This “modestly priced” veteran Hispanic opposite the Young Vic is invariably “packed out” from early evening. “It’s my default for a quick pre-theatre supper”. There’s “such a vibe between 7-9pm – nobody’s going to write sonnets about the food, but sometimes it’s just about the good times”.

Summary
This “fun” tapas veteran sits a minute’s walk from the Old and Young Vic theatres, and is always “cramped and crowded” (“you need to arrive early to get a table”). “A very good Spanish wine list” helps buoy the “great atmosphere”, and for everyone who feels the food’s average or “past its sell-by”, there are others who still think it’s “terrific”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Meson don Felipe Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Reliable good-value tapas at this long-established and well-located restaurant (our waiter had been here since it opened in 1987). No surprises in the food, attractive wine list."
"Not the best tapas, but I liked the feel of the place and it was perfect for a quick bite after the theatre."
