Barrafina
No reservations, twenty-three stools
In brief
A tapas bar in Soho served along a marble counter that wraps the open kitchen. The Dean Street branch takes no reservations: its twenty-three stools fill in order of arrival, and those waiting drink standing. It's credited with bringing Spanish counter dining to London in 2007, and the Michelin star belongs to this branch.

Good to know
- There are no reservations, so you leave your name and wait.
- Early lunch and early dinner mean the shortest wait.
