Mar I Terra

AUTENTIC TRADITIONAL SPANISH FOOD
We have the most amazing, loyal clientele, some of whom have been coming since week one, and can honestly say we've never hankered after the throngs of passing trade on the High Street. We're not for everyone, but if you like simple, authentic Spanish food (we ship our olives, olive oil, charcuterie, nuts, piquillo peppers and baby broad beans, as well as other products ourselves direct from artisan producers in Spain, not to mention the best espresso beans from Puglia!), an idiosyncratic but well-annotated wine list - all Spanish, of course - and an atmosphere which, if I was just a little cheesier I would call "simpatico" - we'll settle for congenial - you might want to come along.

We have space for forty in the ground floor/bar area, a walled garden seating another forty, which is delightful in the warmer months, and an upper room of similar capacity which we often use for private parties.

PRIVATE HIRE
At Mar I Terra, our first-floor restaurant is available for private hire. We can accommodate up thirty people and welcome any occasion. For further details please fill out the short form below and we will contact you upon receipt. For info please contact us directly.

Homely restaurant with a local vibe. An enclave amongst the mostly tourist traps of waterloo. Excellent dishes include the berenjena alinadas grilled aubergines under a cover of tomato and shaved manchego), tortilla espagnola (thick and runny) and croquetas. Well spaced restaurant without the feeling of people falling over one another and acceptable noice levels. Reliable restaurant for local people.

I've known of this restaurant for a long time but had never been to it. We went along on a Saturday for an early evening sit down and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish especially the lamb cutlets. The staff were great and good guides regarding the menu. Definitely will be visiting agaib

Consistent quality
