Paco Tapas
Our ever changing menu combines traditional tapas with personal interpretations from Michelin starred Chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias, whilst staying true to the vibrant and comforting flavours of his heritage.
No tapas bar is worth its salt without a carefully crafted sherry list - just ask Paco! So, we've handpicked ours, and offer them by the glass, bottle or shaken into the finest cocktails.
Thanks to all our amazing suppliers & team we are realising another Sanchez Brothers dream - A modern tapas bar bringing a taste of Andalusia to Bristol. Whether you're coming para picar, for a glass of sherry or a tapas feast we can't wait to see you!

Just the most lovely staff and delicious food
They all know and love the menu
I didn't enjoy my time in Paco tapas due to the service pushing us to order quickly and misunderstanding with our orders
Service and food were spectacular! I'll definite visit again. Compliments to the chef - the morels, wild garlic and yolk was sublime!
We had an incredible experience at Paco tapas. The service was so good - we felt really well looked after. The food was so delicious! Thank you everyone xx
Great food and service, great location too
Can’t wait until we are allowed indoors
Tuna £5 a peace that is a mouthful ..but not very special tastewise. The rest of the food was ok but not worth the price and the star, compare to other places we’ve been to.
Brilliant service! The staff made great recommendations and the food was delicious.
Excellent service & food. Staff fully aware of everything going on very attentive to all needs
What a fantastic way to spend an evening. We watched the sunset over the harbour, eating the most delicious tapas we have ever experienced. Every single dish was tasty, full of flavour and brilliantly explained by the super friendly team at Paco Tapas. Plus the music was ace, evoked lots of memories from clubbing days many moons ago!
Utterly delicious food, great friendly service and lovely surroundings. Perfect for a special occasion.

Our evening at Pacos was splendiferous!
We’d been before about 3 years ago with some foodies from Plymouth, and couldn’t believe such an exquisite gem was nestled in the heart of Bristol!
The atmosphere is lovely - it’s almost as good as being in holiday, and the food is transporting!
As lockdown restrictions had eased, I wanted an evening and experience to remember, and that’s what we got!
Thanks Pacos’ Team!
Such a fantastic first meal back in the world after lockdown. Every dish was flavoursome and so well executed. Staff were passionate. Will definitely be back!
Professional and friendly service. The food was outstanding but I think a tad bit overpriced for some of the items on the menu. Overall we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Mi nuevo restaurante favorito en Bristol... la comida espectacular y el servicio de primera.
An excellent way to spend Christmas Eve. Nothing was too much trouble, we just hope that the tier system allows us to go back again soon.
