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!

    Food is outstanding. Second visit and wanted to try one of their deals. Wasn’t disappointed. The ceviche is outstanding, the padron peppers really fresh and the chicken Bon Bon things super tasty. Definitely recommend and, if you’re able to get a deal, it’s incredible value.

    Food was great, but..: They forgot one of our dishes and the waitress actually said this had happened a few times! The food we did have came exceptionally quickly - we were in and out the restaurant in 45 minutes, which we felt was very quick, as we’d planned for our dinner to be an evening’s entertainment. The team to our hotel took longer than the meal!

    A thoroughly enjoyable pre theatre meal! The tapas were all excellent and we (3 of us) ordered the right amount! Will recommend this restaurant to others!

    We received a £30 food voucher through Itison but we couldn't use the Itison voucher when we arrived as we didn't mention it when we booked it but he did give us 2 free coffees as a good gesture

    Was busy with a great atmosphere, fabulous food as always and very attentive polite staff It’s always good to eat there on a Thursday as they have 50% off most of the food on the menu.
