"When I heard that a new tapas restaurant, Bravas Tapas, would be opening in St Katherine Docks I was excited as it 's not too far from both home and work for me. If you aren 't familiar with St Katherine Docks, it 's a really pretty area and although it 's so close to Tower Bridge because it 's a bit set back behind buildings, it tends to be frequented by locals rather than being snided out by tourists (or at least that 's how it feels). However, it 's downside is that apart from the smaller cafes which are open in the day, the restaurants tend to be chains; Slug and Lettuce, Strada, Zizzi, Ping Pong, Cafe Rouge. The prospect of something a bit different was enough to catch my attention. The restaurant has a rustic feel to it with deep leather chairs, wooden plank tables and velvet cushioned banquettes along one wall and in front of the windows. The whole place looks like it 's been there for ages, even though I know it 's brand new. When we went, there were three or four dishes in each section of the menu; Artisanal Snacks, Meat and Poultry Tapas, Vegetarian Tapas, Fish and Seafood Tapas and Dessert. The other thing is that, instead of a knife and fork as standard, you get pincers (for the unadventurous or uncoordinated, you can request a knife and fork too). Halfway into the meal my boyfriend declared we should use pincers all the time, I was less convinced about replacing my trusty knife and fork in day to day life. We started by ordering Spanish Pickles, which contained a home marinated selection of onion, garlic, olives and gherkins. At a restaurant called Bravas Tapas, of course we had to order the Patatas Bravas, they were well spiced and fluffy little potatoes with salsa brava and alioli. A nice simple dish but well done. We also ordered the Pa 'amb Tomaquet (toasted baguette with tomato and olive oil) and the Cod 'Esqueixada ' which is raw thinly sliced cod with black olives, onions and served with a sauce (I 'm not sure what). This was fresh and summery and would be the perfect dish for a sunny day sat outside with a glass of wine. The only dish we ordered from the Meat and Poultry section was the Moorish Spiced Lamb Chops. I 'm not normally a massive lamb fan but this was beautifully cooked, I 'm not sure I could taste Moorish spices but these were definitely moreish. There were two other meat dishes; Morcilla sliders (which looked great but I don 't eat black pudding or anything similar because the idea just puts me off) and a Foie Gras Crema Catalana (I don 't profess to be an animal lover but I won 't eat foie gras). So, personally, maybe a few more slightly more conventional meat choices would have been better for me. We also ordered the Assortment of Cheeses, although this might have been more the sort of dish that would normally be ordered if going for a drink, rather than with a meal, we saved it until last like our own little cheeseboard. Our second fish dish was Fresh Salmon 'Rulada ' which were rolls of fresh salmon wrapped around shoestring sweet potato. This dish was the one that intrigued me the most, the sweet potato was crispy and I have no idea how they did it, but combined with the salmon was the perfect combination. My only problem was that I wasn 't quite sure how to attack them, they were bigger than sushi rolls so too big to pop into my mouth in one but manhandling them with pincers and taking smaller bites seemed inelegant. They did go down a treat though. Our final fish dish was Wild Mediterranean Seabass with Salsa Donostiarra. Again, lovely. The skin was crispy and delicious and again, it was lovely and fresh and tasty. There were two desserts on the menu and with two of us, we decided to try one of each and share. The first was Torta de Santiago, a soft torte with cherries and served with almonds and sorbet. Delicious. We had regretted not ordering the Gazpacho after we saw others eating it from a unique lying down wine glass. So we were pleased that our other dessert, Fresh Macerated Strawberries, came in the same glass. Service was perfect, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was all gorgeous and beautifully presented, in fact we couldn 't decide which dish was our favourite because they were all so good. I only wish we 'd been for dinner instead of lunch as I imagine the place is beautifully cosy when lit by candles and looking out onto the twinkly lights of the docks. It 's so nice to find somewhere new that 's local and which ticks all of my boxes in a restaurant; great food, good service, lovely setting and real ambiance. Overall, a great addition to the area."

great decoration, good selection in the menu that was not over camp. Lambs were juicy, oktopus were well seasoned and dessert was the perfect end. Quaint Square hidden on the side of the main dock, should definitely be promoted more.

the first time in the bravas restaurant for lunch. location and location ideal. from the kais with some outside doors sitting and also inside. but not easy to find, so give them additional time to avoid getting late. eat presentation original and very good quality. small portioning contemporary tapas style. so if u after quantity instead of quality could not be their place. service informal, but very friendly. good wine card and drink option. pricy, but worthy of a special oasión or surprise her friend or her partner.

A cheerful little restaurant, seems a bit overly styled though. Menu is short and sweet, and there are a lot of appetizing options. Food is a bit of a mixed bag with a couple of winners patatas bravas, lamb chops, foie gras crema catalana (incredible, with a nutty caramelized crust and soft brioche bread . Not a big fan of the salmon rulada, or the tomato bread (why is this basic SO hard to get right? . Sangria too sweet but delicious. Friendly service, so great to find an independent restaurant surrounded by big chains, so will be back.

This week I have sat on the waterfront terrace at Bravas Tapas twice. Yes, it really is that good. This new restaurant hidden within St.Katherine's Dock features incredible flavors in bite sized portions. From the very moment you enter its rustic, shabby chic decor you are instantly put at ease. The staff are attentive and the food is utterly delicious but don't expect the whole order in one go. In typical tapas style it arrives as and when it is cooked, ensuring every plate is fresh and hot. Using a knife and fork at Bravas Tapas isn't encouraged. Tapas is a meal that is meant to be shared. Instead you’re armed with tongs, giving a relaxed and informal environment. The classic pan con tomat...
