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!

    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.

    We have been going to this restaurant for a long time now, but somehow, I think the food isn’t as good as it was in the past.

    Great place with lovely staff, food and drinks. Had an 80th birthday celebration there last year in the private function room which was amazing, love the place and highly recommend.
