José is a cozy gem on Bermondsey Street, blending vibrant tapas and exquisite sherry in a bustling, authentic Spanish bar atmosphere.
"Cheese, cold cuts, sardines, carabineros, and boquerones are all available for click and collect from this Spanish tapas specialist in Bermondsey and Esher. There’s also a range of ready-to-eat and finish-at-home dishes like octopus with parsnip purée, croquetas, and a whole leg of suckling lamb for two. Order here." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"José Pizarro’s four London restaurants will be offering up to £10 off the bill from Monday to Wednesdays throughout September. Which according to our calculations means double the amount of jamon ibérico croquetas." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
"José Pizarro’s first solo venture showcases his love of Spanish food in a tiny corner bar that is always packed - providing a truly authentic Spanish bar experience. What’s also authentic is the tapas on offer, which is the reason to head here, along with the exquisite sherry on offer. Be prepared to stand and strategically balance your small plates on barrels as you sip, nibble and natter the night away. Magnifico!" - Superfantastic
"Feeding £29 jamon iberico to your dog under the table does in fact make you the world’s greatest dog parent. Maybe they’ll even forget that you had the audacity to not let them sniff every single lamppost in the two-mile surrounding area. Either way, you’ll both have a lovely time at Pizarro in London Bridge. A classic Spanish restaurant with everything from croquetas to cuttlefish a la plancha on the menu, it’s a great little place to try a few dishes with a nice bottle of wine.

"Bermondsey is the land of great nibbles. There are many options in the area for small plates, tapas, and satisfying snacks but nowhere does it quite like Pizarro. One of the best Spanish restaurants in London, the dining room looks like the kind of Andalucian Airbnb you instantly bookmark and the dishes are impressive enough for a date night here to feel like a power move. Our game plan would be to stick to the ‘pica pica’ portion of the menu so you can get involved in the jamón inbérico, croquetas del dia, and garlic-party pickled anchovies.
