Head Chef Yahir Gonzalez offers a menu of small plates and Spanish dishes that honour the country’s culinary heritage and innovation, combining the best seasonal produce with his contemporary style, perfectly reflecting modern diners’ appetite for flexible dining.
The Robert Angell design is inspired by rich Spanish culture and has re-focused the space to unveil a beautiful open restaurant and central destination bar. Intricate black and white mosaic floors run throughout and a striking copper-coloured vaulted ceiling imitates the inside of the renowned sherry casks of Jerez. Guests can sit back and relax on chic banquette seating whilst catching glimpses of the chefs at work in the kitchen.

Terrible food, bad service, overpriced, no ambience.
The Sunday brunch was very good value for money. The food was excellent, the service was so nice and the bottomless mimosas went down a treat! Highly recommend, this place is a vibe.

Very good food, great service
If their was only one improvement point it would be to turn the music down ever so slightly as everyone around me was struggling to hear their group or partner. Otherwise a great evening

Even for tapas, the portion sizes were super small. We waited a very long time for our drinks and for some reason the waiters were constantly hovering around our table, seemingly trying to rush us along. Not the best experience.
The views are wonderful though.
Dear Ekat, thank you for the feedback. It’s important for us know how we can better serve our customers and your comments will be shared with the team.
Spanish tapas on a roof terrace during Covid restrictions; great view, charming service, with well executed tapas. What’s there not to like, but at a price. Food highlight crab tostados.

I loved aqua Kyoto so decided to try aqua nueva this time and I was not disappointed. The staff were lovely. The view is great (you can even see the London eye from a distance!). The food is DELICIOUS, really small portions but we got about 7 things off the menu and shared and we were full. The vegetarian dishes are so good we tried almost all of them. Really yummy cocktails too, will definitely be back :)

Attentive service and a lovely menu. The food was lovely as was the Albariño on the wine menu - we were at a business lunch in December- but a rather down beat atmosphere- probably due to Covid - however the staff were attentive and food amazing.

After attending their sibling Japanese restaurant prior to the lockdown, I decided to try out the Spanish cuisine they offer. Due to various traffic issues and road closures I was running late and contacted the restaurant to let them know. They were very helpful and told me not to worry and that they would hold onto my table for me till I was able to arrive. When I arrived I was surprised to find it was busy and yet they were still able and willing to keep my reservation. We were seated and promptly had the menu explained to us by the waitress. We went for the set brunch menu. The food and drinks we ordered arrived promptly. The food was all excellent and the service attentive.

Always have a nice meal at Aqua. Loves the restaurants interior, there are always many candles and if you can get a cozy booth it’s even more special! Foods always great although a little expensive but as expected. Also lovely bathrooms.

Our meal at Aqua Nueva was a wonderful surprise - it was so much more than we'd anticipated, made even better by the friendly and professional service (Jose was very helpful with our wine choices). The sunset menu was fantastic value for money and not only were the flavours complex and exciting, but the presentation was high-end, making each dish's arrival really intriguing. We will certainly return.

My wife and I booked a table early, 15:45 on a Wednesday, so the restaurant was very quiet as we expected. The meal was absolutely delicious, crab tostadas, great croquettes, suckling pig and short rib beef. Very good indeed.

First to mention is Laura, who was an impeccable server. Warm, polite and a pleasure to be around. We felt sohappy around her - which doesn’t always happen.
The food was delicious. Black seafood croquettes and scallops ceviche were a revelation! Really glad we came and they are well set up for COVID-precautions.

Nice food and a nice setting in a central location. The food tasted as good as it looked and was served quickly and politely. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive. The small plates were nice and sufficient, the desert, like many great performers left us wanting more.
