I enjoyed my dinner at L' Albufera. The staff were attentive and very helpful in assisting me to choose from the varied options on the menu. I found the quality, amount and variety of the food quite good. The wine list is well-done letting the "wine by the glass" patrons find plenty of options to discover what Spain has to offer in this realm.

Hard to fault, with an excellent choice of both food and wine. The ambiance is a little strange on entering, perhaps because the ceiling seems to low. Once sitting down, it didn't seem to matter, with very well-spaced tables and a fairly refined feel. The waiting staff were all very friendly and chatty. A waiter mentioned the £55 tasting menu, which I thought sounded excellent value compared to other London restaurants. When I clarified the price and found that it was £55 for two, I couldn't believe it. I excepted food that reflected the low price, but it could have held its own with more than double the price point. A hidden gem.

L'albufera is as authentic Spanish as you can get, but this is no tapas bar - the restaurant is very well appointed and the service was excellent. Our food was delicious and accompanied by a top quality Rioja. Very worthwhile giving this a try for a special meal.

L'albufera at the White House Hotel in London is a very smart, formal restaurant in Spanish Regal style. The service was exemplary, friendly effiecient and unrushed. The food was excellent - the lobster and foie gras starter and the sweets especially. The ambience is peaceful, and so although not embarrassingly silent, you can talk in comfort and privacy without straining. With the 50% offer the value is unbeatable!

L'albufera feels luxurious and the service is very attentive and efficient (although the restaurant wasn't busy when we went on a Wednesday night). We had a pleasant meal although the food was a bit bland in places. Overall a good experience though.
