   We stepped out of the torrential Manchester rain and into a cosy Spanish bar. We could have been in Madrid. Small, noisy and perfectly formed in the fancy end of Chorlton cum Hardy. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was exceptional - way better than the typical tapas fare served up in most places. Think, pork and caramelised onions in an almond sauce - or, beef rib. Rustic bread with an delicious / almost creamy tomato sauce - lamb shoulder ‘Saquitos’ with a reduced Tempranillo sauce. I could go on. Check the photos. I’m going back soon.

   I’ve gone to Bar San Juan more times than I can remember. We normally pop down beech road and hope for a walk in and sometimes we get lucky. But If you’re planning to go for a specific time I definitely recommend booking. As always the food is phenomenal I’ve never had an issue, staff always so attentive and the wine is very nice. My favourite restaurant! Can’t recommend more.

   Best Spanish bar I’ve tried in the UK. Prices are more reasonable than anywhere else and food is genuinely good and similar to what we have in Spain. The staff is lovely and attentive and the ambient always makes me feel a bit more at home. It’s best to book a table, although they tend to have some free spaces on the bar. The croquetas are very good, although my favourite pintxo is the peppers filled with morcilla. Last time I went, the octopus tasted a bit too smoked, but otherwise, it was tender.

   Barely got a reservation for my birthday, only to run into a guy from the next table who was celebrating his birthday! The food was amazing, the wine was great, and everything else in between was perfect. Even the bread was so good! Definitely will go again if I can get a reservation!

   The food is absolutely delicious; best octopus I've had in ages. Lamb parcels and the baked veg with goats cheese were also highlights. Very good service too! Best to book ahead though as it was full on a Tuesday early evening - we ended up on the only table outside which isn't heated.

   We just had lunch at this fantastic gem of a place, no wonder you are lucky to get a table as a walk in with no prior bookings!! The service is warm and friendly promoting that family fun feel, with the right mix of attentiveness. The food is on another level, from the perfectly cooked monkfish to the divine Beef cheek that melts on your tongue. This place is not on the budget side but if you want to have delightful food it is well worth the money! I will most defiantly be returning, probably sooner rather than later. Many thanks for a delicious lunch!

   One of my go to restaurants. Food is phenomenal! If you have not been I suggest you go. Service is great, very chilled environment. My recommendation would be to get there early to avoid waiting for a table! Even though its worth the wait!

   Fantastic evening at Bar San Juan. Very friendly and accommodating staff, attentive throughout. Definitely worth booking as they were busy, the food was cooked to order but was awesome. The lamb pastures were a personal favourite but every dish (and the wine) was amazing. Bar San Juan were also very helpful when we forgot our bag and held it for us! Very much recommend the place, we'll be back!

   Had a fabulous lunch today. The place was packed as soon as it opened, so I recommend booking. The food came fairly quickly, and in manageable intervals. Each dish was delicious. The beef cheeks and the lamb parcels were a real highlight - simply fabulous. The staff were very friendly and prompt. Overall, I think Bar San Juan deserves it's reputation as one of the best tapas places around. It felt like we'd gone on holiday for a couple of hours. We will definitely be back.
