The only plus side to it all is that sometimes, and definitely not always, great new restaurants do open – and Bravas Tapas is one of them.

The bread was a little on the crispy side but given a few minutes for the olive oil and garlic laden tomato mixture to seep in, it all made sense.
Prices here at Bravas Tapas were sometimes on the high side, compared with occasional small portions – this definitely needs attention.
Moorish spiced (illusive meat rub) lamb chops with aioli were the highlight of what Bravas Tapas really do well.
review of London Spanish tapas restaurant Sibarita by Andy Hayler ...
staff food value drinks
Sibarita is the latest tapas restaurant venture by Victor Garvey, who also opened Encant (named Duende at the time) in spring 2016 a few doors down from here, and previously was the head chef at Bravas Tapas in Docklands.
The wine list at Sibarita was well chosen, with tasting notes for each wine, vintages properly listed and an emphasis on good value bottles.
For example La Palcios Herencia Remondo Vendimia was £5.90 for a glass and had a very good finish for a wine at this price point (it retails at £12 a bottle).
If you ate a more sensible volume of food than I did, laid off the pata negra and shared a modest bottle of wine, then a realistic cost per head might be around £45.
Sibarita is just what you want in a tapas bar, with good quality produce, careful cooking and a nicely chosen selection of wines.

Saying goodbye, I thought fretfully, “I want water puckering, the masts of boats clinking conversationally, the dwindling sun playing catch with ripples…” I then remembered reading about the newly launched restaurant Bravas Tapas and, commandeering Reg, headed for St Katharine Docks downstream from the Tower of London.
What Bravas Tapas does have, though, is a waterfront terrace with tables, an American chef who has worked in Barcelona and done stages at Mugaritz and Akelarre, plus a hands-on investor once involved in the launches of Hakkasan and Yauatcha — in other words, not a slouch in understanding how restaurants best work.
We are sitting at a rough-hewn table — part of the style — with a view of raw materials displayed and chefs working.
The menu has changed in part and I am able to style a different meal, starting this time by asking for a glass of manzanilla — oddly there are no sherries mentioned on the drinks list — and roasted Marcona almonds ingratiatingly flavoured with orange zest, while I wait for my friend Joe, who is always late.
Smoked sardine montadito (crisp bread base) is another assembly as pleasing to the eye as the palate with pickled red onions, white garlic and springy green micro-herbs all playing their parts as foils to the oily fish.
