About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
We are a multiple award winning restaurant, first opening our doors in Edinburgh in 2009.

Whether it’s the blast of warmth that welcomes you as you step off the plane, the guitarist in that bustling side street bar you chanced upon or the very last meal of your trip, we wanted to create an atmosphere in Tapa that was evocative of our most vibrant memories of Spain!

From Michelin starred restaurants in Madrid to roadside cafes in Sanlúcar de Barrameda we celebrate the incredibly diverse range of ingredients and stunning dishes that we’ve experienced on our travels through Spain by placing an emphasis on small, artisanal Spanish producers and ingredients almost impossible to source out with Spain.

This is our experience of Spain and we look forward to sharing it with you very soon!

    Yet another routinely excellent experience at Tapa! We've been several times and keep coming back. Two things you may wish to consider: Please keep the traditional cheesecake option, nit just the new versions with various biscuit toppings. The traditional one is so good, the toppings are just gilding the lily. Please tell Open Table to stop this double verification thing for reviews. Its really cumbersome and can't be necessary. See you next time!

    Great food and wine as always. Excellent service and added bonus of an amazing guitarist to accompany our meal. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

    We each enjoyed a different combination of Tapa from the lunch menu, followed by pudding. The food was perfect for a friendly, informal lunch and the service was timely and not intrusive.
