Cambio de Tercio is the signature Restaurant of Cambio De Tercio Restaurant Group, located in the heart of Chelsea- South Kensington. It was open in June, 1995 and is a pioneer in offering modern and innovative Spanish cuisine in London.

We also offer traditional Spanish tapas, but it is our Chef Alberto Criado’s creative dishes, what defines us and has given us our name.

Our award winning “wine list” contains the largest and more diverse selection of Spanish wines anywhere in London.

Within our renovated premises, you can now have dinner at our Chef’s table situated in our kitchen or enjoy one of our Spanish style Gin & Tonic at our “C.Tonic” Bar, with a large 80+ premium gin’s menu.

The Restaurant has gained many accolades during the years including the much coveted “ PREMIO ALIMENTOS DE ESPANA 2003- awarded by the Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Fishing and Food as “The Best Spanish Restaurant in any country outside Spain, 2003”

    Best Spanish restaurant in London. Professional service, innovative cuisine. Cambio de Tercio has managed over the years to keep very high cuisine standards. Can’t wait to come back and explore the always changing menu and succulent dishes.

    Thank you Abel and Pedro for an unforgettable evening ! With Iberian ham from Jabugo, BBQ "Pan de Cristal" and a glass of Cava we started off our evening. The famous secret potatoes and the dry aged BBQ Rubia Galega is an absolute winner! Canarejal sheep's cheese mild and soft and the Basque Cheesecake finished off our amazing Spanish fest. Best Spanish food outside of Spain served by delightful and knowledgeable staff. Always again!

    I always enjoy that Cambio de Tercio always offers something new on their menu. This evening we ordered their paella (which seldom offered). It was one of the best I’ve tried. Another satisfying meal.

Sat watching the world go by as we enjoyed beautiful food and great sherry and wine. Thank you for looking after us so well and for such wonderful recommendations for the food and wine.

    We had read mixed reviews about this restaurant based on good food but poor service. This was not our experience. We arrived shortly after opening on a Tuesday night. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The tapas were interesting and excellent. By the time we left all the tables were filled, mostly by well heeled knowledgeable locals.

    Lovely atmosphere on a warm night at the end of summer, with a buzz of diners but not too noisy and with the doors open. Very good food and excellent service - charming, efficient and attentive but not at all intrusive.

    Everything was good except the food. Presentation wonderful, food just didn’t have the taste or flavours I expected. Focus on taste. Unremarkable flavour, poorly produced and wouldn’t make my Tapas Top 50. Staff were fab and sorry but just didn’t have the authenticity or flavour to justify its rating. If the food is your priority, best avoided. Everything else, very good.
