About the restaurant

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!

Highly recommend the Allanton Inn. The Sunday roast was beautiful, the hosts were very friendly, and the service was excellent. It was fairly quiet when we were there, but advised to book in advance during the busy holiday season.

Old Town

About the restaurant

As the team at Edinburgh’s Piccolino will tell you themselves, no love is more sincere than love of food. Italian food, in this case, as Piccolino is one of the most delightful Italian restaurants in this part of the Old Town, right on High Riggs Street and a stone’s throw from all kinds of Edinburgh attractions. The authentic menu offers quality rather than quantity meaning you can be assured that whatever you order has been prepared with love by chefs who care about what they’re doing. Piccolino will warm your heart and certainly fill your stomach so reserve a table now – you’ll not regret it.

Can't say enough good things about this place. We found it on TikTok so decided to give it a whirl. Easily the biggest chicken burger I've ever seen, and really tender, juicy and tasty. Highly recommend
