Chato - Thornbury

We visited Chato Tapas on Friday night and found it easy to make a reservation. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. There was a wide variety of drink options to choose from, and our attentive waiter provided great recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. As for dessert, we shared two sweets - the churros and the baked custard, which turned out to be a delightful Creme brûlée with a delicate toffee topping. We will definitely be returning to Chato Tapas in the future. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening, and we extend our thanks to the staff and owner, Maria.

"This hidden Spanish restaurant was amazing. The paella was delicious, and the chef's selection of tapas was fantastic. The oysters, king fish, and black pudding were all excellent choices. The scallops were particularly outstanding."

At this point in the stage 4 restrictions/curfew, I was getting jaded and sorely missing dine in food, when Chato renewed my enthusiasm for home delivered food. Prompt and friendly delivery from the restaurant, and the most amazing chicken I've had for a while their pollo a la brasa. Charred half chicken and potatoes in a lemon marinade that was so delicious, we didn't even need the patatas bravas sauce that I normally love. From the entrees: croqueta and tortilla were nice, empanada was ok, goat's cheese ball was a little too sweet from the honey, lamb skewer was delicious (again, amazing marinade). The chorizo and jamon rolls were ok, although we were getting full by this stage so may not have been in the best state to appreciate them. Highly recommended. Can't wait to come back for the chicken and lamb!

We were so lucky to get a table without a booking! Super friendly service here who gave plenty of help explaining the menu to us. Highlight of the meal was definitely the mushroom and spinach croquettas and ‘like it black’ cocktail

The food was tasty and of a great standard and value. The service was very helpful and friendly. Loved it
