About El Pirata of Mayfair - Tapas Bar Español
The scent of saffron and garlic drifts up from our kitchen as another batch of our famous Langostinos al chef sizzles on the grill. Since 1994, we've been bringing the flavors of Madrid to Mayfair at El Pirata, where our chefs prepare over 60 traditional tapas dishes just as they would in Spain's capital. Step down into our cellar dining space and you'll find yourself surrounded by Picasso-style murals that our regulars have been admiring for years. The exposed brick walls and warm lighting throughout both floors create that unmistakable Spanish taverna feeling - though we're just a quick walk from Green Park or Hyde Park Corner stations on Down Street. Our kitchen team takes particular pride in the Calamares con arroz negro, where squid meets perfectly seasoned black rice in a dish that's become a signature. We've carefully selected over 140 Spanish wines to pair with our tapas, from crisp Albariños to bold Riojas that complement everything from simple patatas bravas to our more elaborate seafood preparations. We regularly host birthday celebrations and corporate dinners in our spaces, which can accommodate 75 seated guests or up to 85 for standing receptions. The cellar level works beautifully for private groups who want their own space while still feeling part of the restaurant's energy. Our team helps coordinate menus that work whether you're planning an intimate dinner for 20 or taking over the entire venue. What brings people back isn't just the food - it's the combination of authentic Spanish cooking, reasonable Mayfair prices, and the feeling that you've stumbled into a neighborhood spot in Madrid rather than central London. We're here whenever you need a proper Spanish evening, complete with flowing wine and plates of tapas to share.
