Tapa offers the tastes and flavours of Spanish cuisine to diners in the Leith area of Edinburgh. It is set up in a former warehouse on the cobbled street of 19 Shore Place, just moments from the Water of Leith and 15-20 minutes from the city centre by car, bus or taxi. The tastefully decorated interior brings back memories of Iberia, creating a warm and sociable atmosphere that accentuates the pleasure of eating at Tapa.

The restaurant’s menu consists of innovative and more varied Spanish Plates. Combining the best of what Scotland and Spain has to offer. Our drinks menu boasts a collection of premium wine and beer perfect for pairing with appetising lunch and dinner options – here, too, the vineyards of Spain dominate.

Popular dishes

If you can't already tell, we love everything to do with Spain! From the Chorizo we source from a small family producer in Getaria to the super unique En Rama Manzanilla from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, if it's Spanish we're absolutely there! However, we get that- to the uninitiated- that that might be overwhelming, so, whilst our Drinks Menu is packed full of real treats for those that want to take a deep dive, we totally understand that that might not be for everyone, so, we thought we'd start our Drinks Menu with a wee shortcut to some of our absolute favourites! As with the Tapas Menu, if at any point you need a hand, please don't hesitate to ask, we're always more than happy to chat about our drinks!

Why should our House Wine be the cheapest plonk we can find, we asked ourselves?! We've worked closely with the Navajas family of Navarette in La Rioja Alta & the Eguizábal family of Bodegas Franco-Españolas in Logroño for over 12 years now and- not only- do we trust their winemaking skills implicitly, but, these three wines are excellent examples of what a Rioja should be, that also out perform their price point dramatically!

My wife and I found Tapa, a wee bit off the Shore area in Leith, on the last day of our holiday in Scotland. What a pity. We could easily have eaten there every night. From the moment we walked in the very attentive staff made us welcome and led us through their recommendations. For starters we ordered the Pan with dips and Anchoas. For mains, Secreto, Berenjenas con meil, Patatas mixta, Carpaccio de pulpo. All excellent. Overall an excellent experience.

What a lovely tapas restaurant, fab food and service and the tables are all nicely distanced so you don’t feel like you are eating with the people next to you. Personal outstanding dishes were sea-bass ceviche, presa and the slow cooked pig cheeks. Will definitely be back.

If you are unsure about Tapas then the Thursday Night Special is your opportunity to try top quality Tapa, excellent service & cooking for 1/2 price. It's worth it full price, doubly so on Thursdays!

I treated 5 members of my family , including 2 children and 1 teenager, taking advantage of 1/2 price Thursday. There was sufficient variety that everyone had something they could eat. Also, we were able to book a table early (5:30), which worked well on a school night, and the restaurant was fairly quiet. The latter is important as the youngest child has hyper-sensitive hearing. Service was very friendly and child-appropriate.

We arrived early for the Thursday Club and enjoyed the atmosphere as the restaurant got busier. Very attentive and helpful service from the team. We ordered six tapa to share and everything was well cooked and very tasty. We will definitely be back to explore their menu further.

We visit Leith a lot and, as we had friends with us that are not quite as familiar with the area. We thought we would try somewhere a little duffer for Supper. We were not disappointed!! This is a little gem, slightly off the beaten track, which serves some great authentic Tapas. The Staff couldn’t have been more friendly and we ate some delicious dishes in a pleasant unhurried atmosphere and we have vowed to return in September to introduce two other friends to Tapas’s delights.

Great food here, not "ordinary" but a twist on every dish, and in a friendly and informal setting. Great wine list too. Just go and try it for yourself.

First time I went to Tapa was absolutely insane, it was the highest quality Spanish food I have had in the UK, the second time really dissapointed though, i dont know if it was a different chef but the croquetas were different, even the goat cheese dish wasn't as good

We had the most amazing first night to our honeymoon. The food was incredible, the service stellar and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The goats cheese in particular was our favourite
