Barrafina Borough Yards is a Spanish tapas restaurant at 2 Dirty Lane, set within the restored Victorian railway arches of Borough Yards. The room centres on the group’s characteristic marble counter and open kitchen, while high tables and a light filled snug provide additional space for small groups close to Borough Market and the South Bank.
Small plates begin with white anchovy tostada, ham croquetas, pan con tomate, Padrón peppers and carefully sourced Ibérico charcuterie. Tortilla is offered in classic form or with chorizo, prawn and piquillo pepper, allowing diners to build a meal gradually from familiar Spanish flavours and freshly prepared bar snacks.
Seafood has a prominent place through yellowtail crudo, grilled squid with mojo verde, red prawns, octopus in adobo and seafood rice. Grilled chorizo, chicken thigh with romesco, pork tenderloin and Ibérico secreto provide richer meat choices, while patatas bravas, aubergine with garlic cream and seasonal salads round out the table.
A changing blackboard reflects the best produce delivered that morning, so dishes can vary alongside the seasons and the kitchen’s inspiration. Crema Catalana, Santiago cake, cheesecake and Spanish cheeses offer a sweet or savoury finish, supported by a focused list of sherry, cava and wines from across Spain.
