About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Cambio de Tercio is the signature Restaurant of Cambio De Tercio Restaurant Group, located in the heart of Chelsea- South Kensington. It was open in June, 1995 and is a pioneer in offering modern and innovative Spanish cuisine in London.

We also offer traditional Spanish tapas, but it is our Chef Alberto Criado’s creative dishes, what defines us and has given us our name.

Our award winning “wine list” contains the largest and more diverse selection of Spanish wines anywhere in London.

Within our renovated premises, you can now have dinner at our Chef’s table situated in our kitchen or enjoy one of our Spanish style Gin & Tonic at our “C.Tonic” Bar, with a large 80+ premium gin’s menu.

The Restaurant has gained many accolades during the years including the much coveted “ PREMIO ALIMENTOS DE ESPANA 2003- awarded by the Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Fishing and Food as “The Best Spanish Restaurant in any country outside Spain, 2003”

    We come here for special occasions, and this was the first time for a couple of years. Food was good but not quite the same - can’t explain. Something was missing, there wasn’t quite the intensity of flavour as before. The salmon nigiri were superb but the patatas bravas weren’t quite as crisp and the flavour did not explode in your mouth like before. Overall still very good, but just that little bit different…

    A nice restaurant in a good location. Unfortunately our experience has not been great: from the very beginning, when I booked the table, I mentioned both in the booking’s section for special requests and also in a message to the restaurant that it was an important occasion for us- celebrating our son’s 20th birthday. They were not bothered about that at all!!😡 Also, when we arrived at the restaurant they let us know that the kitchen was about to close and we had to order asap including the desserts!!! When I booked the meal there was no mention of any time the kitchen would close!!! And our booking was for 14:30 pm!!! Would I have known about this I would have booked an earlier time!! There was no children’s menu. We ordered tapas (3 per person as recommended by them) and when they started to bring the them to the table they were pressuring us to eat as quickly as possible by standing next to our table waiting to clear the serving plates! Horrible!!!! On the other hand, the food was outstanding! Expensive (£273-00 for 3 adults and 1 child: 3 tapas each, and 4 desserts, 3 glasses of wine and water for the table) but the food delicious.

    If you like excellent food, a great selection of wine, and outstanding service, Cambio de Tercio is the place to go. We even reserved a second time as this is one of our favorite restaurants.

    This is one of my favourite restaurants, and I've written about it many times. Yesterday, the food, the wine and the service were all great. All that remains for me to say is that we'll be going back very soon!

    I went to this restaurant to catch up with friends, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. The vibe was warm and welcoming—perfect for a relaxed evening out. The food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the red mullet, prawn dish, and the potatoes—so, so good. Getting there was a bit tricky due to unexpected transport issues, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and helped move my reservation twice without any hassle. Really appreciated their kindness and flexibility. Would definitely go back!
