12 Top Restaurants Worth the Queue
We are a nation of queuers but that doesn’t stop us getting reluctant when hunger strikes and there are ten (or more) people in our way. We’ve rounded up 12 of the best no-reservations restaurants so that at least you know if you’re going to stand in line, it’s worth every second…
Barrafina Dean Street
Michelin-starred Tapas
With the informality of tapas it’s not surprising that most taperias don’t take bookings. Michelin-starred Barrafina Soho (now on Dean Street) was the first to make queuing mandatory and as a result are as familiar with a line of hungry diners as it is with simple, refined, traditional Spanish cooking. Bear in mind their maximum group size is four so save this one for your closest friends and visit when doors open (midday and 5pm Monday-Saturday) for minimal wait times. Be sure to order the deep-fried stuffed courgette flowers.
Where: 26-27 Dean Street, London W1D 3LL, United Kingdom
