    We had the most wonderful meal at Dehesa – a gem of a Spanish tapas restaurant tucked away just off Carnaby Street. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was relaxed yet sophisticated; just the right balance of buzz and intimacy. We opted for the tasting menu, which I highly recommend if you want to experience the full range of what Dehesa does best. What really elevated the experience was the service from Pedro. He guided us through the menu with genuine passion for the food and wine, offering brilliant recommendations and a warm, personal touch that made the whole night feel special. Can’t wait to return!

    Experience here was very good overall, the food was good filled with nice flavours. On the bottomless drinks side of things could do with much improvement. We had to basically poach another waiter as ours wasn’t very attentive to the empty glasses. My thing is when have paid for a bottomless service, make sure there’s is someone always around. After we poached the other waiter it never stopped flowing. It was my GF birthday and they were sure to acknowledge that. The music and vibe was buzzing. Would definitely go back.
