"This is a paragon of the tapas genre. The Spanish proprietor has opted for authenticity, decorating the two-tiered dining room with rustic furniture and some repro Spanish artwork. Service was exceptionally attentive on a recent visit, even though the place filled up quickly.

Unusually, kidneys in sherry was done well, while grilled sardines were some of the best we''ve had on these shores...

...just good food, you''ll leave satisfied."

This bustling tapas bar and restaurant enjoys a healthy evening trade, and with good reason.

This is no ordinary tapas bar. Chef Antonio Ruiz is a master in his field...

La Bota has a relaxed atmosphere by day, yet transforms itself into a buzzing vibrant place to eat and drink in the evening. It benefits from a hugely talented chef, friendly waiters, a convenient location just an olive's throw away from the clock tower in the heart of Crouch End, and a hugely satisfying array of traditional Spanish main courses for its early afternoon and evening menu.
