Tapas-style dining is becoming increasingly popular in the Mother City. Originating in Spain, this exciting dining experience refers to an assortment of appetisers, snacks or small dishes. The idea is to order multiple plates, allowing diners to share and sample a wide range of flavours in a single meal.
These are some of our stand-outs:
