About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Llerena takes its name from a little village in Extremadura, southwest Spain, where four generations of our family has raised Iberian pigs since 1939, producing authentic "Bellota" jamón ibérico, chorizo and other pork delicacies. Our family created a business around the farm called Jamón y Salud to sell our gourmet products and has now brought this exquisite taste of Spain to Islington with the Llerena Ibérico Tapas Bar. Not only can you sample ibérico pork grilled meats and finest jamón, but also creamy Torta del Casar cheese and other traditional Extremadura's delights as well as the best wine from our region.

    Perfect! I’ve passed Llerena many times and read excellent reviews so decided to try it out last night for an early evening dinner with a pal. From the minute we arrived we were greeted by a charming waiter who provided regular, but not too regular service and advice throughout our meal . The choice of tapas and accompanying dishes was varied but not overwhelming and the rose wine which was recommended, was delicious. What a find! We will definitely be back.

    Lovely small Spanish restaurant. Friendly service, good margaritas, decent amount of vegetarian options. Thankfully they didn’t have any flayed animal limbs on display like those shown on their website!

    Llerena is great for a chillout week night early tea and a stroll about izzy afterwards. Love the mixed meats & cheeses plate + lovely warm bread & delicious proper olive oil to start. Staff always so friendly & nice

    Excellent service from start to finish. The food was delicious, full of flavour and authentic. Favourites were the blue cheese and spinach croquettes, the beef tenderloin medallions and the squid. The interior is intimate with great ambience. Can’t recommend a better place for Tapas!

    It was a very good service and amazing food. All the food is from Extremadura. As a Spanish person living abroad, it is amazing to find an authentic Spanish Restaurant. Also, there is food you can buy from the little shop from Extremadura!
