The sandwiches, burgers and Italian pasta are delicious but if you fancy a change of pace and want to try new flavors without going too far from the London Tower area, Bravas Tapas is a restaurant where you can taste the traditional flavors of Spain with a little twist.

A very nice place with a terrace "al fresco" next to the pier where on sunny days you can enjoy some delicious tapas accompanied by some Spanish wines. The menu is full of flavor.

I recommend ordering several portions to try a bit of everything, just as you would in Spain: a bit of cheese and Iberian ham, some croquettes and patatas bravas or some octopus with some Padrón peppers. It will be like eating the Mediterranean in one bite!

If you plan to visit Bravas Tapas after going to the Tower of London, I advise you to reserve a table first because the place fills up easily. However, if you arrive without a table the service is very attentive so they will try to find you one.

If you want to get the food right, order the cheesy nachos, BBQ chicken wings and calamari - it's finger-licking good! In addition to the food, Slug & Lettuce - Tower Bridge also has a wide variety of wines, beers and cocktails to boot (after seeing the Tower of London the bloody Mary will seem very appropriate). The service is very friendly and the prices are pretty good, so you'll leave with a smile from ear to ear.

In any case, dishes such as sushi, shrimp tempura, Peking duck or frozen mochis should not be missing on your table, and neither should the cocktails. They are delicious and the delicate way in which the restaurant Mei Umelospresents them is a marvel.
