    We’ve eaten here a number of times over the years, frequently taking friends and family who absolutely love Bar San Juan. Today was no exception and the 4 of us had a great time. The beef cheeks and lamb parcels were particular favourites but every dish we had was superb and washed down with Gomez Cruzado Haro Rioja which was fabulous too. Staff as always are helpful, incredibly efficient and very friendly. Couldn’t ask for more- we’ll be back soon.

    Fantastic as always. Best tapas and bar ever, we always challenge ourselves to find better than San juans and haven’t yet succeeded (even when in Spain!)

    As usual, I had a wonderful time at Bar San Juan. I regularly choose to go to Bar San Juan over other restaurants in Chorlton because the food is always amazing and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. Today was no different.

    An insult to Spanish food. A few notes to the kitchen: - Gambas pil pil is meant to be served in sizzling oil not luke warm oil; and - Tapas is meant to be served as it comes not all at once in an overwhelming fashion. Whilst Spanish restaurant culture is meant to be more direct, the individuals at this restaurant should consider a more hospitable approach similar to Rafas El Rincon, the best Spanish restaurant in Manchester may I add. Unfortunately don’t believe the hype this place fails to deliver an ounce of the quality it’s purported to bring, avoid at all costs if seeking a real Spanish cuisine experience.
