Had a lovely family meal for my daughters birthday after recommendation. Service and food were superb. Excellent selection of delicious tapas all at reasonable prices. Great choice of beers and wine. We had more than enough food between 4 of us and really enjoyed every plate. Will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone

Guys, if you haven’t been here, what are you doing? This is the freshest food I’ve tasted in Leigh by a long shot and unbelievably reasonably priced. Honestly, as a girl in her twenties, I wouldn’t waste my money on bottomless brunches in chain restaurants with barely any alcohol and mid food. Hogar Del Mar offer a bottomless brunch with all fresh tapas and sangria. I know where I’d rather spend my money! X The most beautiful hidden gem in Leigh. I can’t urge you all enough to come here! 3

We walked into the restaurant and instantly felt like we were on holiday. A jug of sangria, The lovely jazz music playing in the background - just bliss. The tapas was beautiful and the service just great. A hidden gem and will definitely be back again!!

What an absolute amazing find. This tucked away restaurant on the broadway is one of the best tapas restaurants I’ve been to (and I’m Latino). I accidentally under tipped but I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended. Must try the chicken Jerez and spicy chorizo.

Great little find with amazing service, food, and ambience. We were greeted with a smile, the service was friendly, quick and food, tasty! Literally stumbled upon this hidden gem as we were looking to grab a quick bite. We had the padron peppers (10/10), squid with chilli mayo (10/10), and the patatas bravas (10/10). They have some amazing offers. I dont think they serve halal meat but have plenty of vegetarian options. Portion sizes are decent and good value. I recommend and would happily go back again.

Just fabulous. We had an amazing lunch on Good Friday. I think we had a go at the whole menu and every dish was beautiful. Super service, relaxed atmosphere, good music and well priced. A definite new favourite of ours
