Review of Tapa from 7 August 2012
This is without a doubt one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh!  

There is a great selection of Tapas, I think I have probably worked my way through the whole menu now and have never been disappointed.  

You really do get tasty good quality food for your money and I LOVE their house white wine!

There's always a good atmosphere and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming.

Highly recommended!

Review of Tapa from 6 October 2011

We recently had a a party of 77 people at Tapa on Hanover Street. Excellent food, excellent staff and a brilliant atmosphere. If they cope that well with all of us, they can cope with anything. Highly recommended

Review of Tapa from 20 July 2011

Heard on the grapevine that the food in the Leith Tapa is better so we went for lunch. Five hours later we are still stuffed! Portions are very generous and we loved it! Only slight criticism it that the olives are pitted and I prefer mine with the stones in, more herby, and not so wet with oil. Pleasant enough though. We had fried spicy chorizo, patatas bravas, spicy chicken breast in batter, meatballs in a tomato sauce and prawns pil pil and all were superb. We washed it down with some sherry (well, it is a Spanish restaurant) and had a decent coffee to finish. Best tapas since we were last in Spain and we will definitely be back – soon! A bonus is the situation. After the meal it is very pleasant to stroll along the quay sides.

Review of Tapa from 24 February 2011

Booked ahead and went about 8pm on a Friday. The place was busy and vibrant. Great staff, lovely waitress who was very attentive despite everything else going on. Fabulous food, can't recommend it enough. We had their February deal. Four dishes, plus a bottle of wine for 23 pounds. We had deep fried Archovies and baby squid, spiced chorizo sausage in a rich tomato and onion sauce and a tortilla with asparagus. Delicious.
We also had a stunning dark chocolate dessert to share and two coffees. Total 32 pounds. Totally worth it. Will be back!

Review of Tapa from 16 January 2011

We went there yesterday! such a nice experience!
we did not have reservations and the staff welcomed us anyway!

We ordered the tapas for 2 lunch offer! where you get 7 tapas!
it really tasted like real yummy spanish food! we do not eat pork and the waiter had the chef replace the stuff that had pork in it ! so that was very nice of them.

we also ordered a tapa that was Moroccan style , but it really wasn't ! i know because i am algerian! :) so i think if you are in a spanish place just order spanish food ad it will be the best.

i totally recommend it to other people and will go back there soon.

oh I LOVED the tortilla de pata! and the fried calamari was good as well :)
everything on the dish was yummy !

Review of Tapa from 19 July 2010

Tapa does what it says on the tin - Tapas and its damn good! £10.00 for 7 different selections of tapas for 2 people is absolutely fantastic and they do it from 12 - 5 fantastic!! Its plenty of food as well you wont leave hungry!

Great service, its fast, beautiful venue and the toilets are lovely big gold ornate mirrors. Its a shame its really well hidden down a side street that I've never noticed before, but its seems so popular I guess it doesn't matter really.

Love this place and I'll be going back fantastic tapas and amazing value for money!

Review of Tapa from 10 April 2009
(updated on 4 July 2010 )

Situated in Wisharts warehouse, a favourite venue for years.
We popped in for lunch on good friday.Was worried that this would be part of a chain but it seems not.
We recieved a warm welcome and were offered a choice of tables. The service was friendly and efficient. A full selection of tapas are on offer. We opted for the chefs selection (£10 for two people) As sugggested, this was ideal for a light lunch. We were given bread and olive oil, and because we had booked online, we were also given a free coffee. The food was excellent and the tapas selection was ideal. As they were so efficient, this might well be a good place to go if you work in the area & are limited on time. This said, at no time did we feel rushed. Will most certainly return and I wish them good fortune! \have been back several times since writing this review and have yet to be disappointed! Prices don't seem to have changed either!

Great Authentic tapas bar. My place of choice to prop-up the bar with a cold glass of "vino de Mesa" and a tapa or two.

Review of Tapa from 13 October 2009

Was very difficult to find this restaurant, tucked away in Leith.
The signage on the front is also very small (possibly something to do with planning permission?).
Once inside the restaurant is very bright with flashes of red and some great old pictures on the wall...very Spanish feel.

On the food, the whole experience was teriffic, friendly staff and great tasting food.

The portion sizes were also very generous, and well presented.

We will surely make a secon visit and because it was inexpensive we can visit often.

I visited Tapa this weekend with some friends and we had a great banquet of Tapas selected by the waitress. What an easy way to eat, and it suited all of us. Really Good value, and I will surely go back.

Cheap lunch value, £10.00 for 2 persons at lunch is unbelievablly cheap. The drinks prices were not bad either. Great place to go if you are on a budget like me.

Inexpensive tasty anthentic Spanish Tapas up a back street in Leith. This was our first visit and I must say we will be back. It was quiet but the lunch (CHefs selection) was only 10GBP for 2 people. Bargain!
The al la Carte menu looked great but the lunch deal was too good to miss.
