Absolutely superb! Spankingly fresh food, skilfully cooked, beautifully presented and supremely well served. An excellent wine list and a wonderful buzzy atmosphere make this our favourite restaurant by miles. My husband is a big meat eater and I don't eat meat at all but we are both kept very happy with the menu - he loves the special acorn fed... More

I had been trying to book a table at the weekend for months. FInally visited recently with two friends. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff extremely helpful and great with recommendations and the food....excellent! Guests are invited to chose about 3 dishes each (with the possibility of ordering more if you're left wanting). The menu is divided into starters, meats,... More

A party of us decided to teat ourselves to Tapas at El Gato Negro. Over 12 dishes and two bottles of wine, we enjoyed tasting and sharing some beautifully cooked and prepared dishes.

Best Restaurant i know, Amazing food, great staff and its good value, i cannot not understand how anyone could not love this place !

Our friends have been going for the last couple of years and at last we managed to join them. I read Jay Rayner's fantastic review of El Gato Negro... More

This is the best local restaurant bar none. Fantastic food cooked by talented chef's, a fantastic and varied menu, there was ham croquetos, chicken, lamb, pork and beef available on the meat selection. I don't particularly like fish as such, the hake was amazing. As was everything else. Best of all is the creme brulee/catalan. Which is outstanding.

We have eaten here several times now and the Tapas is amazing! Its not cheap however the food is of a very high standard and the service is spot on. The white rioja is a must!

Went here on Mother's Day as a spur of the moment. Luckily they managed to squeeze is in! The atmosphere was good and the service was top notch. We had the set menu for £25 a head for 6 dishes this was amazing value as the quality of food was excellent! The tapas was of such high quality and was... More
