This is my third time here and I always enjoyed the food at La Bandera. Unfortunately tonight when I called the restaurant the male person answered the phone and said there is no tables at all tonight and that they are fully booked. I have looked online and booked table half an hour later. The restaurant had a lot of empty tables. The food tasted good, I have tried better tapa/Spanish restaurants. The portion for the special almond cake was also quite disappointing as you can see from the photo, portion was very small.

They were able to seat us without a prior reservation. Try the paella with octopus ink..I only had to travel to Manchester to taste the best paella in my life so far.

The food tastes like authentic Spanish food. The service is really good and the value for money is amazing as the portions are quite big!

Tapas was so stunningly gorgeous here and we highly recommend. House white/rosè wine was reasonable and delicious, served in a big lovely cold wine glass. Whilst the nine dishes that we picked were just incredible! So flavoursome. They were rather large too in comparison to other tapas dishes we have order in the past from other restaurants, these were super filling and satisfying. Our evening was made even better by the fabulous, charming waiters / waitress that were so lovely and smiley throughout. We will be back. Thank you!

Lovely welcoming, warm and peofessional. Tapas style serving and ordering. As expected. Food was delicious, the Carrilleras de cerdo was honestly impeccable. The Patatas Bravas (a staple of Tapas cuisine), was amazing, but the sauces paired were a highlight. You don't often get sauces to enhance the bravas at restaurants in Manchester. The pricing was more than fair, and the paella is a must get, even if you have a few Tapas on the side. The only downside was the Lubina al Mojo Verde (Seabass), was overcooked and dry and cold. Not sure what happened here, assumed it was just left too long to cook, then too long to make it's way from the kitchen to table. However, when pointed out to waitress (Angel), it was rectified and comped as it was just an honest mistake. The friendless of all the staff plus the quirky decor (yellow seating etc) in makes this a gem within Manchester. I definitely recommend and will be back again!

What a lovely find. Authentic tapas cooked in a family-owned restaurant, in the city centre but tucked away. Based on Canarian cuisine. The staff were charming and really happy we were enjoying the food. We had a mixture of small plates; chicken croquetas, ‘wrinkled potatoes’ served with delicious Mojo Rojo and Mojo Verde sauces, Gambas Volcán (stand out flavours), sardines and albondigas. Everything was delicious. Glasses of Albariño and white Rioja washed it all down nicely. A coffee and pistachio ice cream rounded the meal off. Definitely be back.

Went here with the family for Tapas during a weekend break to Manchester. All the food was delicious - I couldn't fault a single thing. The staff were friendly and welcoming and were very knowledgeable and able to offer advice on what to order if you were unsure. The kids really enjoyed it. It was my daughters first tapas experience and she said she'd definitely want to do it again. High praise from a 12 year old!! The only (minor) niggle. Like a lot of places, they add a (discretionary!?) 10% service charge onto the bill. Which kind of feels like you are being forced to tip. Now, don't get me wrong, I would have tipped anyway because it was delicious but to be obliged to kind of irritates me. I wish restaurants wouldn't do this.
