The saucer-sized mini-meals we call Tapas are a Spanish way of life and come in infinite varieties.

Tapas originated in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, also famous for its Sherries. The Spanish word “tapa” literally translates as “lid”. In the 18th or 19th century, bar owners used to place a piece of bread over the top of their customer’s drinks in an effort to deter flies. A small portion of sausage or olivas soon joined this piece of bread and the tapa tradition was born.

To taste the array of Spanish flavours, we recommend 3 dishes per person to be shared amongst friends for a true Santiago experience.

We also have an extensive daily specials board full of new and exciting tapas dishes.
