    Excellent tapas with plenty of variety. Take a group and order plenty of half portions. Everything was absolutely delicious but the baked stone trout and braised lamb rump were so good we ordered seconds. Then to finish it off, churros with a cup of decedent chocolate and a surprise petite four with the best marshmallow I’ve ever had. Would definitely return!

    It was a brilliant evening and the food was very good and very friendly service the only downside in our opinion was that the portion size had could be a big better or more especially when you choose a sharer one. The difference between single and sharer wasn't very big...but overall very good food.

    Lovely place to have lunch or dinner at always very professional and friendly owners and stuff. Desserts are my favorite part of any meal - Tierra and Mar makes them look and test like heaven.

    What a fantastic experience. The staff were great and the food was well prepared and most enjoyable. We enjoyed not being hurried and consequently had a lovely couple of hours, thank you.

  • 5/5 Calum W. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant. The food was all good quality, really interesting plating and combinations and good value for money given portion size. Would recommend the guinea fowl, the rice, and the patatas bravas. Can't wait to try more next time!

    Lovely food and great service! Great to try different foods, all tasty and beautifully presented by staff that understood the food. Lots of different flavours with dishes brought in good combinations. Quiet night but really helpful and friendly service.

    Great, great tapas. Choice of traditional and modern tapas. All done superbly. Staff are great, too. One of the best in Cirencester.

  • 5/5 Stephen O. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved our meal there tonight! Exquisite tastes, attentive and efficient service, nothing to fault. I love paella and this was one of the best. The lamb was wonderful, as was the goat cheese mousse.

  • 5/5 Chirag S. 2 years ago on Google

    Just had a wonderful lunch at Tierra and Mar - delicious food, great value lunch menu and extremely friendly service. A fantastic hidden gem!

  • 4/5 Mhairi G. 2 years ago on Google
    We got the weekday 3 course set menu and really enjoyed it! The flavours were good and the service was attentive. I enjoyed the blackberry and lime dessert and Patatas Bravas side especially

  • 5/5 Karen E. 1 year ago on Google
    Fab restaurant with delicious and beautifully presented food. Our Waitress suggested reducing our order otherwise we would have over ordered and wasted food, she could easily have just taken our money. Very efficient and friendly service. Will definitely return when we will try one of the set menus. Happily recommend.

  • 5/5 Sarina H. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an incredible lunch of shared tapas (4 people). We tried 10 of the sharing plates, and each one was beautifully presented and tasted divine. We loved the mix of textures in the dishes as well. The dessert was also incredible. The service was lovely, each dish was explained to us. Will certainly be back soon!

  • 5/5 Jo P. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant! Loved everything about Tierra and Mar. Staff were genuinely friendly and cared about what they were serving. The tapas were delicious. Felt like a fusion of tapas plus - delightful. The croquettas were the nicest we've ever had - melt in the mouth. Tuna carpaccio was yummy. All gorgeous. Would go back tomorrow!

  • 4/5 Lucy Bella E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food! Really recommend the lamb! Such a lovely surprise. The service was also second to none. Everything came out at the perfect time, and the staff were so enthusiastic and helpful. One thing to work on - the interior. The building has a lot of potential and it could be stunning, bur at the moment it’s a bit tired and very…blue!

  • 5/5 Mike S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had dinner at Tierra and Mar on the 16 Sep 2022, there's a public car park a short walk from the restaurant or parking directly outside. The decor is bright and colourful, feels quite homely. We ordered five half portions between the two of us which was about enough. The octopus and the goats cheese mousse were two highlights. The food is excellent, little touches too such as bread and dipping sauces at the start added to the experience. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant if you find yourself in Cirencester. Can't wait to go back.

  • 4/5 Trinakatz G. 11 months ago on Google
    Holiday group dinner spent here in one of our meals while in Cirencester as reviews online were very impressive. We had a 5-course tapas sharing set menu. Starters were delicious especially the Iberian platter and the goat’s cheese mousse. The paella was not how we expected it to be. Not much options that day. At the time of writing they got cod, lamb and veggies only. We were expecting a proper seafood paella not only with fish alone. The lamb paella was not too great. The cod paella was so-so. The veggie one was a bit bland. The rice was al dente which was impressive. Churros was also below par. Too skinny. The chocolate dip was great though.

  • 5/5 Claire L. 1 year ago on Google
    Just wow! Outstanding food and exceptional service from start to finish. Thank you so much for making my wife's birthday so special with beautiful food and drinks.

  • 3/5 Lily Miriam S. 10 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed a relaxed lunch with a friend as it was a quiet week day. The service was faultless and the building is pretty impressive, although is in the quieter end of town. They have a reasonably priced 2 or 3 course menu.

  • 1/5 Jessie D. 3 years ago on Google
    I would give 0 if I could.

  • 5/5 Álvaro M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing Spanish food at very reasonable prices. Delicious lunch menu. The service was lovely and attentive. I can't wait to go back

  • 5/5 Lorna H. 3 years ago on Google
    Booked for our anniversary dinner on their post lockdown opening evening. The staff are lovely, very warm and welcoming whilst sporting PPE and we were treated with a complimentary welcome drink to celebrate their reopening which was a really nice touch. The food was beautiful to taste and well presented. Would definitely come back and recommend to all.

  • 5/5 Adam D. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious! I can't really review this place, you just have to go. Food was perfect and the staff were lovely. Would recommend for lunch or dinner.

  • 5/5 Olivia A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vic H. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food, great atmosphere and brilliant service. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Oriana F. 4 years ago on Google
    A perfect experience! The building is old and full of beautiful details. The staff is great and the food is special. My partner is Spanish and we said we would return with his parents when they visit. Great job Tierra & Mar!

  • 5/5 Diogo R. 4 years ago on Google
    What a wonderful place! Booked a table at Tierra and Mar after reading so many fantastic reviews and the evening and meal exceeded our expectations by miles! The restaurant itself is cute and cosy, quite unassuming in the most welcoming authentic way, it is warm and comfortable yet elegant with charming friendly service. I can’t believe the quality of the food for the price, most of the tapas style dishes are £7 and incredibly presented, never disappointing with the brilliantly paired flavours and perfectly balanced plates. It is essentially a fine dining restaurant for fantastic prices in a non-pretentious homely setting. Thank you so much for an amazing meal and evening, so looking forward to returning!

    A great addition to the Cirencester dinning scene. Great produce cooked and served very well.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 3 years ago on Google
    We've just tried the take-away service (during Covid-19). The tapas that we chose was quite simply amazing. The standard of the food is exactly the same as that served in the restaurant. Do yourself a favour and book now.

  • 5/5 Tony F. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant food and excellent service with a good atmosphere. Authentic and friendly.

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 3 years ago on Google
    Quite excellent tapas, although the menu is rather small (might be due to covid). Still, there is enough variety and to a standard. Service and atmosphere friendly, prices reasonable.

  • 5/5 Victoria T. 3 years ago on Google
    Traditional Tapas, good quality delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • 5/5 Ishani S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and service, would recommend!

  • 5/5 Jakub K. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a real gem! Food is absolutely delicious, gorgeously presented and delivered by friendly staff. The entrée includes a 4 times world winner olive oil with a strong herbal flavour, which on its own would be a good enough reason to visit. Chefs mix flavours in a surprising way, but by no means strange or over the top. You will be genuinely pleasantly surprised with every dish - I can especially recommend boneless spicy chicken wings, lamb and seafood. If you opt in for a set menu, make sure you add a few tapas as well to fully appreciate what's on offer. There is a nice selection of wines and liquors, and should you enjoy cider, there is a Basque semi-dry one you cannot miss. There is only one thing this restaurant lacks: two Michelin stars! Even if you're half an hour away, the trip here will be worth it without a doubt.

  • 5/5 Liam K. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely tapas and lovely staff

  • 5/5 Ana Cristina Ruiton C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and environment. Amazing and very friendly service. Paella its great, great selection of tapas and the best Sangría! They are very careful with social distance, with measures in place (antibacterial gel in every table) and very clean facilities.

  • 5/5 mktabon91 3 years ago on Google
    Food was faultless, really very tasty, nothing else to say. The setting is very simple, and retro but the food coming out of the kitchen bothoq tastes and looks like high-end cuisine. The owner served us, and was very friendly and keen to make sure we had a good experience (which we did). I would highly recommend, this is not one to miss if in the area.

  • 5/5 Anne C. 3 years ago on Google
    Fabulous food

  • 5/5 mara b. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to have Spanish food. The owner is really nice and the food is amazing. We went the first day after lock down and they care a lot. She used a mask, it was more than 2 meters between tables and hand sanitizer on the tables. She cleaned the menus after using them. We felt complete safe, I wish all of the restaurants would be like them.

  • 5/5 Roger W. 3 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience. Covid-19 lockdown is still in place and we ordered from the delivery menu. Superb food, incredible goats cheese starter, Gilt Head Bream and rabbit paella for main and finished off with delicious churros. All from the comfort of our patio, listening to the birds chirping, dogs at our feet, I cannot recommend this enough.

  • 2/5 George 4 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed. Resturant is overrated 4.9 Share portions was too small for share. Tataki and tatare looks,taste to me not from fresh fish to. Worst octopus I ate not tasty . Never come back

  • 5/5 Duncan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a work team (3 of us) lunch here recently. Establishment is cosy and welcoming; staff were friendly, knowledgable and attentive; and the tapas was stunningly good. Highly recommend.
