About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Serving delicious World Tapas for lunch and dinner, but also Bistro classics at dinner time. Extensive well priced wine selection, organic, without added sulphites, quirky wines but not only.
In the summer, probably one the best, if not the best restaurant terrace to sit on in Taunton.
Dogs are welcome.

    Lovely evening with wine and a great selection of tapas - one of our party was vegan and they were so happy to have such a choice. Great staff who made the meal even better.

    First time here, had the sharing tapas platter for 2. Ordered 2 other tapas dishes. The platter was lovely quality and more than enough for us. Had a lovely Slovenian Sauvingnon to go with. .Will definitely go back

    We were dubious about the new Japanese inspired dishes appearing on the tapas menu but we didn’t need to worry. They were delicious. Who would think Japanese could inspire tasty small dishes that work well with Mediterranean ones! The crispy fried tofu was my favourite whilst my husband loved the sashimi.

    We had a fantastic experience on Valentines night. Food was amazing, my husband especially enjoyed his cheese board. The wine and cocktails were lovely and the service was great. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.
