Capote Y Toros is a compact Spanish restaurant and sherry bar at 157 Old Brompton Road in South Kensington. Part of the Cambio de Tercio group, it is styled after the tabernas of Cádiz and Jerez, with close set tables and an energetic evening atmosphere.
Tapas provide the structure of the meal, encouraging diners to order several plates for the table. Cured Iberian ham is a particular focus, joined by cheeses, seafood, vegetables and warm dishes that highlight recognisable Spanish ingredients and direct flavours.
The sherry list is central to the restaurant’s identity and gives diners the opportunity to match different styles with salty ham, seafood and richer plates. Wine and gin offer alternatives, while staff can help shape an order for guests less familiar with the range.
Live Spanish guitar adds to the intimate, lively setting on selected evenings. Dinner only opening and the small room make Capote Y Toros best suited to a planned night out built around shared food, conversation and the distinctive combination of tapas and sherry.
Address: 157 Old Brompton Road, London SW5 0LJ, England
