    Loved it! We were visiting some friends in Nottingham and they recommended baresca for dinner. We ordered the majority of the menu between us and every dish was delicious. Standout dishes for us were the brie and broccoli flatbread and the pork belly tacos. Such a lovely place to meet friends. Great service too.

    Fusion Tapas bar in the centre of town. Had to wait slightly longer in between dishes as everything was cooked fresh. The Lamb Empanadillas were tasty and served piping hot. Problem was with the fish as I thought it was off. Waitress told me it would be taken of the bill so I ordered dessert. Then was told by the manager that the mackerel was pickled and that’s why it tasted that way. The fish stayed on the bill and also the dessert. Disappointed about the way this was handled. Bill I thought was high for 1 cover. Even if I took the fish and 1 tapa off the bill it would of still been £30. I don’t think this is value for money considering some of the portion sizes. Or maybe I just eat too much for 1 person ... :)

    I'm always hesitant with tapas in the UK, it can be overhyped. But this experience was an absolute delight, hands down best tapas in the UK! We loved the open kitchen, from our table we could see it being prepared and I love that transparency as you see the chefs cook like a dance. All dishes were sublime, really well executed. The highlights being the peshwari flatbread and the smoked haddock gratin, but I'd absolutely recommend any of the dishes (we tried quite a few between the 3 of us!). Can't wait to come back!

    Lovely tapas restaurant with a great value lunch menu - £15 for Catalan bread/olives to start, 2 tapas and a side. Portions are a lot bigger than I expected and very filling. Really enjoyed the cod tacos (you get two in a portion, but I ate one before taking the picture). Nice selection of sangrias aswell. Great service and lovely decor; I was really pleased with how nice the toilets were aswell.

    If you're a foodie you'll love it here- Superb food varying from doing only traditional Spanish tapas. Meat eaters don't discount the vegetarian dishes!! Excellent service too. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong here!

    First time visiting and was not disappointed!! between the 3 of us we ordered 10 dishes, which was brought out exactly how it should for a Tapas........a few dishes at a time as not to be overwhelming. Food was hot and delicious ( I particularly loved the chicken wings 😋) and the drinks where also good. In all would highly recommend and would go back tomorrow if I could.

    Great choice of tapas, we had menu of the day catalan bread 2 tapas and a side. My favourite was the mushroom rosini absolutely beautiful so creamy and tasty . I liked that we were given water at start. The staff were friendly and attentive and food was delivered promptly. Loved it and will definitely go back.

    Food selection was good 👍 Taste is spot on too Service is fast 💨 food arriving is one by one not in one go which for our case my food arrived first when everyone else is still waiting Atmosphere with good vibes 😎 would definitely revisit again 🥳

    Went here for a works Christmas meal. There were 35 of us and the team served us excellently. Everyone received their ordered drink on arrival and the food was served at good intervals, as you finished on dish the next arrived. Regular drinks orders were taken and the mocktails were great. I will definitely be coming back here for a meal to enjoy even more of the menu. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.

    A cracking visit to this tapas restaurant in Nottingham. The food was extremely lovely and tasty. Ample parking in the city centre car parks can be found, lace market at the evening rate is a cracking bargain.

    Had a great meal here before the theatre. Their menu del dia (menu of the day) was such great value and the portion sizes were really generous too. We got different dishes and shared them all between us. I was full by the end but not uncomfortably full… felt just right! Very satisfied and impressed with this place 🌟

    We went as a part of Nottingham restaurant week and would potentially go back for a chill dinner! Service was a bit slow on one of our dishes (I suspect they forgot) but otherwise friendly service and some decent food too. The Highly recommend miso and sesame greens and garlic chilli prawns👌🏾… Sangria was nice too… The only let downs were fried chicken and cod tacos, they were a little blah… Butterbean salad was ok but not mind blowing, same with the patatas bravas… Overall it’s ok, not the best but far from the worst! Deffo has a few gems though so torn weather to change to 4 stars…

    Great selection on the menu, what we shared all had tasty flavours, relaxed atmosphere and good all round service. Great to see food cooked fresh and in front of you. Ordered from the Christmas specials menu, all flavoursome, filling and well presented. Halloumi fries were top tier! Food came in stages when ready but that's the nature of tapas and it didn't hinder the experience. 4 happy customers 😀

    Gorgeous food with plenty of great vegan options and lots that can be made vegan! The Empenadas are sooo good and the sangria is lovely 😍 Staff are friendly and the service is always quick and efficient, really nice vibes, will definitely be recommending and returning here!

    Great food and excellent service. We were looked after by Joanna who is brilliant with such an amazing smile, lit up our evening and made our visit very special. Thanks to all at Baresca for a superb valentine's meal

    Pleasant atmosphere, cosy surroundings with helpful and friendly staff. Some nice selections for food, some warming flavours and creamy textures, suitably tasty too. Nice place to relax and chat over dinner with a colourful cocktail or two.

  • 5/5 Scott W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tapas, we tried all but two dishes off the menu, the flatbread is a must!. Very well presented and delicious. It's also worth trying the sangria, it didn't disappoint.

  • 4/5 James D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service. Wonderful food. A bit pricey for me but probably worth it. We had 11 tapas dishes between the 4 of us which was more than enough. All very fresh, cooked perfectly and very good quality.

👍👍 Absolutely amazing! I went to have lunch on my graduation day with my friends. Food was very flavourful and cocktails were nice. Special dietary options are available and you always get 2-4-1 cocktails. Service was really friendly and approachable. Ambience and music is just cherry on top.
