SquareMeal Review of Lobos Meat & Tapas Bar

Bronze Award

Lobos ('wolves' in Spanish) is a new tapas joint in the heart of Borough Market, created by a team who met while working at renowned Spanish food group, Brindisa. Situated in a cramped railway arch, its two storeys manage to incorporate a bar (with views out to the market), kitchen and cave-like dining area. Our tip: grab a cosy mini booth for two and start with the pan con tomate, and ham, chorizo and smoked bacon croquetas. The menu has a clear emphasis on meat (mostly sourced from Borough Market); we sampled a rib-eye topped with exquisite foie gras, a rack of lamb with a herbaceous crust and a gloriously fatty secreto ibérico (the hidden cut between the pig's shoulder and loin) with homemade crisps. A generous selection of cava and sherries also helps make Lobos a fun addition to London's ever-growing list of on-the-money tapas venues.

Great venue and food

I went here with friends pre-theatre, and it was a great venue to meet up. Service was good and friendly, and the food was delicious, and portions were big. We shared a selection of tapas, and it was just what we wanted. I've been here before, and would go back again if I am in the area.

Great tapas
I met a friend here for lunch, the second time we have visited. Very friendly staff and we weren't at all rushed. We shared 5 tapas, and that was plenty as we were really full! Meatballs, patatas bravas, croquettas, manchego and quince, and rice with chorizo...all tasty, and the great thing was that the staff only brought one or two at a time, so the food didn't get cold. All very enjoyable.

Great food. Not too expensive. A little cramped.

Busy Tapas at London Bridge - Been open about two years now - I have dined there many times both for lunch and dinner with no without clients - Service and welcome always excellent with a real informal, lively vibe to the restaurant Selection of original tapas excellent with great small menu with it changing regularly Food quality exceptional and good size for sharing. Wine choice original and authentic and of high quality and value for money Very friendly and efficient staff and on the occasional times I haven't booked i've been given a realistic and accurate time of next available table and enjoyed drinks at the bar Many quirky tables for two especially along the renovated arch on the 1st floor - Really good buzz Great place to go for a quick bite to eat or a full on tasting session - Take your pick !!

Interesting tapas in Borough and you can book!
My friends and I had an early pre-theatre tapas meal last night. When I arrived we were shown to our table promptly. The menu is varied and changes regularly. The focus is on meat but as a vegetarian I found there were enough meat free dishes for me to order that I could also share with my friends. They tucked into the meat dishes and said they were delicious - winners were the croquets and the rack of lamb. The green salad was very interesting with a lemon and nut dressing and the tortilla perfectly cooked. The dishes are all served on different interesting plates that turn up when they are cooked rather than all together. The waitress recommended 3 each, which was about right. They were small but the food is rich so you don't need too much. The wine was delicious and the service friendly but very efficient. Don't skimp on the desserts, it was the best I've had in a while - chocolate and pistachio cake with chocolate and hazelnut icecream. Very good! The bill came to just under £200 for 4 of us and included 2 bottles of wine. The atmosphere was buzzy and fun. It is set in a railway arch so I thought would feel cramped but there was enough room to move between tables. I loved the fact I could book as at Brindisa down the road they don't take bookings which is a problem for an organisation freak like me!
