Tendido Cero is a Spanish tapas restaurant at 174 Old Brompton Road in South Kensington. Part of the Cambio de Tercio group, it is a compact and popular dining room where reservations are strongly encouraged.
Traditional tapas associated with meals in Spain sit alongside more modern creations from the kitchen. The mix allows diners to order familiar flavours while also trying dishes that reinterpret Spanish ingredients and techniques with a contemporary approach.
Small plates are intended for sharing, so a table can build a meal across vegetables, seafood and meat rather than choosing one main course each. This format suits both a short selection with drinks and a longer dinner assembled in several rounds.
Spanish wine and other drinks complete the restaurant experience and help groups explore different pairings across the meal. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should ask the team about the current menu because recipes, garnishes and shared preparation may change.
Address: 174 Old Brompton Road, London SW5 0BA, England
