Oh, Spain…
Vavi is our love letter to Spain—served one small plate at a time. We’re a friendly, buzzy Spanish tapas bar in central London, pouring good wine, mixing classic cocktails, and cooking the sort of food that makes you stay for “just one more”
Real Spanish flavours, made to share.
From crispy croquetas and silky tortilla to charred meats, jamón and market-fresh seafood, our menu is built for passing around the table. It’s relaxed, generous, and always seasonal—tapas as it’s meant to be.
Wine, sherry & vermouth you’ll actually want to talk about.
Our list champions Spanish regions from Rioja to Ribera del Duero, crisp Albariño to textured Godello, plus chilled vermouth, proper sangria and classic cocktails. We keep it approachable, with by-the-glass options and staff who love helping you find a new favourite.
Spain’s social spirit, right here in London.
Vavi is about more than eating; it’s about socialising—the clink of glasses, shared plates, and easy conversation. Think warm lighting, lively music and the unhurried rhythm of a night out in Madrid or Barcelona—without leaving London’s Zone 1.
Honest, young, and heart-warming.
No fuss, no fluff—just quality ingredients, cooked with care and served with a smile. Whether it’s date night, after-work drinks, or a long overdue catch-up, Vavi is your central London spot for Spanish tapas, bar snacks and drinks that feel like a mini-holiday.
Book a table, pull up at the bar, or wander in for a glass and a plate.
Come hungry, leave happy—and plan your next visit before you’ve even paid the bill.
Vavi & Spain
Spain feels like a warm welcome. It’s centuries of history lived out in lively plazas, where friends meet for tapas and families linger over long lunches. From crisp Albariño and bold Rioja to aged Manchego and smoky Idiazábal, Spain’s wine and cheese tell stories of place and patience. The food is simple and generous—olive oil, tomatoes, seafood, jamón, stews—made to share and best enjoyed in good company. Culture is everywhere: in flamenco and festivals, in Sunday markets, in the easy rhythm of the sobremesa when no one rushes home. What stands out most is the friendliness—that open-armed spirit and deep sense of family values that turn a meal into an unforgettable memory and strangers into friends. This is why we want Vavi to share a bit of sunny Spain. Enough with the rain!
Whether you’re popping in for after-work drinks, a date night, or a long, lazy catch-up, Vavi is your friendly Spanish tapas & bar in central London—all warm light, great music and plates built for sharing. Think honest cooking, vibrant Spanish culture, and a drinks list of sherry, vermouth and Spanish wines that keeps the conversation flowing. Come for croquetas and tortilla, stay for octopus, jamón and “one more” glass. Book a table or swing by the bar—at Vavi, you’ll find the flavours of Spain, the buzz of a true tapas bar, and a welcome that feels like home.
