Jose Pizarro

Opened in 2011 by Spanish native Jose Pizarro, Jose is a small but noteworthy tapas and sherry bar in Bermondsey. The chef's success quickly swelled and he opened Pizarro a stone's throw away, and later, Jose Pizarro in Broadgate. Despite the less-than-inventive names, the tapas are fresh and flavorsome, traditional yet inventive. Perennial favorites include the fresh green peas with broad beans, sautéed with jamon, squid and mint, or the slow-cooked pork ribs with roasted tomatoes and pepper salad.
