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!

Great, food service and ambience. Incredibly good value as well - they had an offer on food of which we were unaware but they automatically deducted from our bill. The stand-out dish of the evening for us was the Brûlée de Queso de Cabra. We actually decided have it as dessert because of the accompanying caremalised Muscovado sugar and peach alioli. It was a gamble that paid-off because it was sublime, and a perfect end to an outstanding dining experience.

Nice restaurant and good food. Wouldn't class it as authentic Spanish tapas, more 'poshed up' to cater for a British market. But perfectly enjoyable. Food tasty and good quality. Waiting staff were pleasant enough but not particularly personable. Service was a little slow but the restaurant was busy and we weren't in a rush. Would come again but there are better restaurants in the area.

We visited our favourite Spanish restaurant for the first time with our new dog and couldn’t have been happier. We were sat outside in lovely weather. The service was great as was the food, the only downside being the unavailability of a coupe of dishes. We had a lovely time and we will definitely be back with a better behaved Jasper!

We had a great meal at Tapa, catching up with friends and spent lots of time talking eating and drinking, not rushed at all. Food was amazing

Perfect homely cooked food, In my opinion the best venue for Spanish food in Edinburgh and I’ve tried them all.

Excellent value, friendly waiters, delicious food. We've been here many times and obviously will be back again. Wine a tad pricey especially for bottles but that's merely an observation.

Lovely lunch. We had an indoor table booked but since the sun was shining we asked to sit outside. Only downside to that is the small tables are not great for 4 people tapas style dining! Still enjoyed as always.

Really lovely food and lovely Sangria! My partner was a bit annoyed at how loud the guitar was and they moved us. Loved it
