Eat Out London!Bar Tozino
Bar Tozino
Located under the railway arches of Maltby Street in Bermondsey, Bar Tozino is a hidden gem for those who love Jamón and good wine.
Vintage and provenance are the focus of the Jamón, which hangs from the ceiling and then gets carved from the bone right in front of diners at this Spanish bodega.

40 Maltby Street, London SE1 – restaurant review | Marina O'Loughlin
food drinks staff
Of all the dishes we have at 40 Maltby Street, it’s the most unprepossessing that makes us sit up, blinking and gasping, “Wow, this is really, really good.”
Pig’s head broth with cabbage dumplings: it doesn’t exactly bark “Sexxxxy!”
I wrote about 40 Maltby Street for a, ahem, previous employer, voicing a degree of reluctance to share its joys because, during Maltby Street market’s trading hours, the place is jammed to the point of discomfort.
I can think of no more pleasant way to play hooky on a Friday afternoon, compelled to try all the recommended wines by the glass (the place is owned by Gergovie Wines, who concentrate on the kind of punk-ethos winemaker who pooh-poohs additives and preservatives.
On a Friday lunchtime, devoid of the market’s ravening foodie hordes and with real card-carrying talent in the kitchen, 40 Maltby Street still feels like the insider secret it once was.
