Established in 1987, Meson Don Felipe was the first Tapas Bar in London and we are still an independent, family-run business. You can expect great tapas and some amazing, well-priced Spanish wines, served in an authentic, relaxed atmosphere.
We have an outside terrace with heaters and umbrellas but of course, we can't promise the weather! If you book outside we can't guarantee a table inside if the weather changes.
For those unable to eat-in, we offer our famous Paellas for takeaway at lunchtime Monday-Friday.
Thank you for all your support and we look forward to welcoming you soon to this little bit of Spain in Waterloo.

    Pre-theatre meal before seeing a show at the Young Vic. The restaurant was busy and bustling but service was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the pigs’ cheeks in red wine sauce. Highly recommended.

    The service was quick but unrushed. Food and wine both good.

    Great food which arrived promptly. What let it down was that we had to wait 15 minutes for anyone to clear the plates. I asked for the dessert menu which was brought but then nobody came back to take our order so we just wentto the front and paid. A shame.

    Always a joy to get a table at Meson Don Felipe - right opposite The Young Vic, so that we can have exceptionally good food before or after exceptionally good theatre and today was no different. Lovely menu for people who eat from all different food groups and all with an authentic Spanish taste. Do yourself a favour, try it if you haven’t already and book another table if you have !

    Good was poor, the whole lot came at once, not the tapas experience I wanted. Pull your socks up maison don felipe there are lots of tapas bars now, you have competition.
