tapa

La Tapa so as to be meaningful should be eaten between main meals as food that allows the body to survive until lunch or dinner time. We have expanded on this concept with both our tapa & pizza menus available ALL DAY. An ideal tantaliser for the taste buds, some authors assert the 'tapa' was born when Spanish King Alfonso the 10th, also known as 'The Wise' took small bites of delicacies all day to accompany his wine consumption. A very fine idea indeed we say. Follow the kings lead & Mix and match a few for a truly gastronomically divine experience. Ensure you ask for the wine list to accompany your food selection
