Pix

Perfect place for a night out with the lady. Pix offers a cozy environment with comfortable booths. Joe, the manager is very welcoming to all guests. I had the pleasure of being served by him last Monday evening. Joe always has a smile on his face. The tapas were great along with the wide selection of cocktails. I will be back again on my next trip to London.

Second time I’ve been… both very good experiences… great staff, welcoming, friendly, fun. Food is good, small portions, yes, but I guess that’s the idea! But tasty. Yesterday I had the patatas bravas, hot spicy meatballs and the feta cheese, pomegranate and lettuce salad to finish… the latter was amazingly good, should have taken a photo but I managed to eat it before I thought of it. Washed down with a simple red. Nice place to sit and chat with friends and while away an hour or so… especially as it was freezing outside yesterday. Oh and the music in the background is also good. You need to be slim (not me then!) though to perch on the stools in the first section (there’s a little snug and a back room with stools but a bit more space) and the tables are handkerchief size too… but who cares. Try it, laid back, unpretentious, easy

Gross — avoid at all costs. We walked in because tapas are always fun, right? NO! Please avoid. The concept is kinda cool, plates of self serve tapas with large picks indicating one price (~3 GBP), and smaller picks indication another price (~2 GBP) — sounds great, but there was nothing that looked appetizing! Where was the jamon and tomato bread? The croquettes? Way too much cod, not enough pork for my taste. I ate an entire bowl of olives and not much else. The desserts, only two out, both looked unappetizing. They had an all-​you-​can-​eat deal, but I’m not sure how you could make that economical.
Avoid.

Came here at about 4pm on a Saturday. It was mostly empty but eventually started filling up. The staff are very friendly but the food is not that good; nor are the drinks. It’s not particularly cheap either so I would go to Dehesa across the pavement for the real stuff.

great food plus great atmosphere for a date.

Great food all presented on small plates at the bar, just help yourself. Fun atmosphere and good selection.

I’ve come across these type of collect-​up-​your-​sticks tapas bars in Spain and the concept is pretty simple: pick and eat some food, prices depend on the size of the stick. The trick is similar as with sushi places: remember that all your food adds up! (that includes the dishes they bring around to your table. difficult to resist).
I very much enjoyed Pix, having been recommended by a friend. My most recent tapas/​pintxos experiences were in Spain, and from a chef-friend’s menu so the bar was set reasonably high. Quality-​wise, I would say it’s on par with some of the run-​of-​the-​mill neighbourhood tapas places in a Spanish city, but obviously with a bit of a London price uplift. Cod fritters, creamy cheese and ham balls, patatas bravas… I could go on.
I was hoping for some slightly more adventurous dishes, but it was the usual cheese/​bread/​meat/​spice. Satisfying nonetheless, and under £25 a head including wine. There was limited space where we were sat opposite the bar so we had a bit of a juggling act on the table (and a bit of accidental footsie underneath) — no major issue, just something to be aware of.

Had read good things about Pix so I thought it would be ideal for a Thursday catch up with the bestie. The table was tiny, see were strange and the pricey structure, although simple actually I think is a bit of a rip off. We paid £37 each for our stick and when you are paying almost £3 for one brucetta style pix I think you are getting a very bad deal. £3 for one churro. So by the time you have actually eaten something close to filling you can rack up a fair whack of a bill. We had the house white and maybe 8 pix each. They were good but for the money I will go somewhere else next time.
