Iberica (Canary Wharf)

• Chorizo lollipops with pear alioli sauce
• Black rice with cuttlefish
• Went there with some colleagues
• Service throughout was attentive and informative (definitely necessary if its your fist time) but without being over bearing
• The small plates and sharing is a fun way to enjoy many dishes
• Went to iberica with some friends and I was impressed with the food
• It serves traditional tapas with a twist for example the chorizo lollipop which was tasty and fun to eat
• One of my favourite dish is the Padron pepper
• Nice place to hang out and have chat with your friends although price wise it's a bit more upmarket
• Predominately because the food was not as authentic as I was expecting or even hoping
• The pork was absolutely inedible and the accompanying sauce was excessively flavoured with smoked paprika
• The other diners were all happily eating away
• Can become expensive with variety available
• The waiters are very attentive
• The plate descriptions were very elaborate
• I think that is what was disappointing
• They failed to inform us the plate of olives with our drinks was stuffed with anchovies which ruined my meal
• We started with a Trio of Ibé
• The quality is good though
• This goes well with some tomato bread
• We then continued with some Padró
• Unusual for a Spanish restaurant and some fried calamari with alioli sauce (very good)
• The octopus a la gallega was very nice and tender
• It was served with potatoes and pimentó
• Served with marinated cherry tomatoes and red peppers and the Gloria Cachopo a patty of minced beef and pork filled with Asturian cheese
• The staff with the exception of the host were very unpleasant
• The only smile we got was when we were handed the bill
• That if you were asked to describe the alcoholic beverage of Spain
• Perhaps even Gin in line with the trendy gin and tonic movement so popular in Spain at the moment
• Fried squid with alioli was my favourite
• Breaded and deep fried chorizo lollipops which came with pear alioli were great too
• Asparagus toast was rich and cheesy and dressed with truffle oil and grilled green asparagus
• The rest of our order was good but not outstanding
• Pan con tomate was a good size portion that could have had more garlic rubbed into the bread for my taste
• That is a dish that is pretty much impossible to mess up
• These ones were cheesy and bechamel based rather than mashed potato based
• Pleasant but a little too rich for me especially as we had the large portion with 12 croquettes
• The Half and Half board of charcuterie and cheese was a generous filler and good value but nothing really special
• I was happy with lunch and will gladly return
• A big lunch was under £
• Ve had a facelift though and there is now more seating and a vintage Spanish feel about the place
• An invitation to taste their summer menu was quickly accepted &ndash
• A chance to try a whole selection of dishes washed down with plenty of Spanish wine
• The iberica pork was so tender I'd have it any day
• Loved the ambience and the wait staff was outstanding
• We were really pleased with the wine menu and cocktails were spot on
• Pork belly special was amazing and cod balls were delish
• Paella however was very underwhelming
• Most impressive was the Crema Catalina Foam
• Just ask the waiters if what you're ordering is enough or too much and they will humbly give their opinion
• All the food is made with the best ingredients
• The dark rice (made with squid ink) and the "
• It is pricy but i guess they are meant to be high end restaurant
• Portion of paella and tapas was disappointing
• Me and my bf were so hungry that we went wasbi to get sushi
