The Kitchen

Taste the light, share the moment

At La Farola, cooking is a celebration of connection — the joy of sharing small plates, stories, and laughter around the table. Our menu blends classic and contemporary Spanish tapas: delicate Jamón Ibérico, young Manchego, crispy baby squid, or prawns sizzling in garlic and chilli. Each dish is made from the finest Spanish ingredients and the freshest local produce, crafted to capture the soul of the Mediterranean and the rhythm of London life.
