We had an absolutely amazing experience at El Buen Gusto in Harborne! From the moment we arrived, the service was fantastic, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. A special mention to Sajan, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had the best dining experience. The food was incredible—every dish bursting with authentic Spanish flavors. The paella was perfectly cooked, rich, and full of depth, easily one of the best we’ve had. The patatas bravas were truly authentic—crispy, well-seasoned, and served with a deliciously bold sauce. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! If you’re in Harborne and craving top-quality Spanish cuisine, El Buen Gusto is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommend!

What a great little spot! A small, cozy, family-run Spanish restaurant with an amazing vibe. The food was absolutely banging – the tapas felt more like proper starters, generous in size and packed with flavour. We followed it up with a fantastic paella, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Prices are very reasonable too. Overall, a great experience – thank you!

Nice Spanish food. We like all those we tried, except the Aubergine Tapas which was a bit oily. As mentioned in the menu, it took about 25-30 minutes for the preparation of the Paella which was reasonable.

Absolutely delicious tapas and plenty of vegetarian options. The food was fantastic with room for only tiny improvements. Aubergine (outstanding!), garlic oil mushrooms (amazing!), garlic bread (great!) courgettes (needed a little more honey), padron peppers (needed a little more rock salt), homemade lemonade (lovely!). Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Beautiful decor. Highly recommended!
