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.

Mar I Terra has been consistently great over the years and last night did not disappoint. We loved the quality and variety of the food. The wine with an amontillado on the side was also delightful and reasonable. We arrived early and left late and the staff were friendly and efficient all evening

Lovely Tapas & wine

This was a return visit for us. We used to come regularly when we worked nearby. Good to see that the food, wine and atmosphere is still as great as we remembered it. And the staff don’t seem to age at all either.

A small group of us love to regularly return to Mar I Terra for delicious tapas three or four times a year. Always friendly, efficient and good food in a lively atmosphere but tucked away from the main streets so you have to know where to find it! The wine bar just on the corner of the street is also a great place to have drinks before or after the tapas.

We have eaten all over Spain. We’ve been to all kinds of Spanish restaurants in London, from cheap to expensive, but Mar i Terra is the only one that compares.
