About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Llerena takes its name from a little village in Extremadura, southwest Spain, where four generations of our family has raised Iberian pigs since 1939, producing authentic "Bellota" jamón ibérico, chorizo and other pork delicacies. Our family created a business around the farm called Jamón y Salud to sell our gourmet products and has now brought this exquisite taste of Spain to Islington with the Llerena Ibérico Tapas Bar. Not only can you sample ibérico pork grilled meats and finest jamón, but also creamy Torta del Casar cheese and other traditional Extremadura's delights as well as the best wine from our region.

    Great service, friendly staff. Good wine . Only negative was the paella . Unfortunately, the rice was lumpy and not very much fish for £34. I would have tapas next time I visit.

    Had an excellent Saturday lunch here today (17/5)...Attentive and helpful service, good menu options and the quality of the tapas was superb...Upper Street in Islington has many good restaurant options, but this is as good as any of the ones I have visited in the last couple of years...❤👏
