(481 Lordship Lane, Dulwich in London, United Kingdom)

Barcelona has 'aficion' - that means passion and knowledge and, in bullfighting, what makes you get ...into the ring with an irritable herbivore. The space that houses this Barcelona, the third in a continuing series, was once a pharmacy. It still has its funky antique dispensing cabinets, but is also kitted out in Barcelona's inimitable sunny style, including tiling, vivid hues, and the trademark lizard, inspired by a Gaudi mad masterpiece. The Conservatory areas are extremely popular, but then so is the whole restaurant. As it's a short five minute walk from Dulwich village, it's full of professional types, but it's located in a residential area which brings in scads of happy families reliving the cuisine of their latest Spanish holiday. Hora Loca is a madly good deal - we have our own little aficion for the jugs of sangria. The tapas include many familiar favourites as well as specialities from all the regions of Spain. Try dishes like the Andalusian pork and bean stew with chorizo, Galician-style octopus, and Catalan grilled peppers, onions and aubergines. The Spanish wine list is a treat. Opening hours: Mon & Tues 5.30pm - 12 midnight, Wed - Sat 12 noon - 12 midnight, Sun 12 noon - 11pm. Open on Bank Holidays [moreless]

(13 Well Court (Off Bow Lane) in London, United Kingdom)

Spanish passion is everywhere in the Barcelona, from the vivid colours, to the intense flavours, to... the attention to detail, to the happy hubbub of diners and drinkers giving themselves over to pleasure. There's a mad mosaic Gaudi-esque lizard over the Cava Bar, a terrific meeting and drinking space that features a winning selection of Spanish bubblies (nb: Happy Hour isn't called Hora Loca for nothing). Then the same sort of wandering mosaic path guides you downstairs to the large, cheerful dining room. Choose a zillion tapas and share them with mates, or pick carefully and respect Dr Atkins - either way you'll find dishes skillfully prepared and with a touch of sunny inspiration that will set your palate aglow. Try favourites like chorizo or paella or go for rarer Iberian ham or broad bean stew with black pudding. Wash it all down with lovely sangria or one of the brilliant wines from the all-Spanish list. Disco Thursday and Friday evenings. Opening hours: Mon - Fri 11am - 11pm [moreless]
