Salvador & Amanda Tapas Bar
About Salvador & Amanda Tapas Bar
Neighbour to The Photographers Gallery on the cusp of Covent Garden and Soho, Salvador and Amanda is the latest blissed-out bar from the reliably funky Breakfast Group. Calling itself as a Bar Y Tapas Y Fiesta (that's snacks and Balearic beats until the toddler hours to you and me), it offers a distinctive rustic, 'Real Spain' inspired interior by Paul Daly of Elbow Rooms and Lab fame. Naturally, it's packed to the sombreros with young professionals, but it isn't at all pretentious - a glance at the large bull-fight posters tell you that. In keeping with the general feel, classic
Spanish tapas such as mini de pepito concebolla (steak and onion in toasted roll) form the backbone of the menu. But read on - the descriptions tell your tastebuds all they need to know: clams in sherry with ham, spider crab tortilla, paella croquettes...Should you find out who Salvador and Amanda are, do let us know. We think they must be a pretty cool pair.

I booked a table at Salvador & Amanda for a pre-show meal that was to celebrate our anniversary. We both love tapas and this didn't disappoint! Great interior and ambience with Dali features everywhere, and the Gypsy Kings music playing. The staff were great and really looked after us, letting us come back in after we'd seen the show for cocktails and a dance. They have a fantastic selection of their own cocktails, the Mariachi is one to try!
Decent food, good atmosphere. Will go again.
We booked earlier on in the morning for a 7pm table, they didn't have our booking but luckily had a free table. We sat in a little wooden house which felt very festive. They had a set menu for £25 as it was NYE. I had a huge steak which was cooked really well and tasted lovely. The food wasn't amazing but £25 for 3 courses and a drink was very reasonable. I would go back again if with a large party.
Had a fantastic NYE in Salvador & Amanda, considering it was NYE we thought that service may be slow nd food hurriedly cooked, but we were wrong!! The service was very efficient and the food was delicious - pork cheeks are my new favourite food! The place has a great atmosphere with soft ambient lighting. The staff are very helpful, friendly and added to our enjoyment of the evening. All in all a great place to eat, and the bar is a great place to chill out with a few drinks afterwards.
Salvador and Amanda serves Spanish tapas of really great quality. We took 2 extra portions of their pork ribs and out of 11 tapas that we ordered there wasn't even one that we wouldn't like. The restaurant has nice atmosphere for couples but also for bigger groups. The music was a bit too loud but that's very easy to change so not a negative at all. One of few restaurants we'll definitely be going back to.
