Tapa (19 Shore Place, Edinburgh) | The List

Stylish Spanish restaurant in a former warehouse offering flexible menus and adventurous food and drink pairings.

A fixture on the Leith dining scene since 2009, Tapa offers a nuanced and elegant take on Spanish food based around carefully sourced premium produce.

Housed in a converted warehouse with whitewashed walls, the surroundings have a stylish and contemporary feel, brought to life with some quirky touches such as Spanish advertising posters for James Bond films or a cast-iron bull's head adorning a door.

A range of vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free menus helps broaden the appeal while a strong drinks list completes the lineup, offering plenty of lesser known Spanish wines alongside sherry, gin and beer.

With an enthusiastic staff and management team at the helm, Tapa looks well set to sail on into her second decade.

Tapa | Restaurants in Leith, Edinburgh

One of the earliest contenders on the Edinburgh tapas scene, Leith’s Tapa is up against stiffer competition now than when it first opened in 2009, not least because other forms of national cuisine are jumping on the tapas wagon too (a high-profile venture round the corner offers Indian-style tapas dishes, for example).

Yet despite the fact it’s somewhat hidden away on a side street, its presence is essential to a Leith Shore area which has built a reputation as one of the most interesting and varied dining districts in the city.

Amidst all this, Tapa remains a popular choice with locals and those who’ve sought it out and made it a favourite under their own steam.

The old warehouse space it inhabits is high-ceilinged and airy, but the clean lines of the renovation and the warm colours of the décor mean it stills feels intimate across both its rooms, with Spanish posters and the fake bull’s head, for example, offering a sense of place.

Try, for example, the chistorra (a form of chorizo) hot dog served with mustard salsa, the Iberian pig cheeks braised in red wine or the Galician octopus in orange and pine nut vinaigrette, washed down with one of an impressively-chosen range of red and white Spanish wines.
