    Wow! I thought cafe andaluz was good but this place is amazing. The best tapas I may have ever had. The restaurant is very cute and in a good location near the shore. Highly recommend the chorizo and the patatas alioli. I will definitely return now I’ve tasted the good!

    I have lived in Spain for 20 years and can say these dishes are spectacular, authentic and delicious. I will be honest, we tried right across the spectrum and each dish was perfectly executed and full of flavour. We appreciated all the tiny details to complement and balance all the flavours in each tapa! The presa, secreto and ceviche are a must and of course, Jamón! The selection of spirits and wines perfectly balance with the meal and all palate styles are accommodated for. We started with a G&T but were nearly temped with a Fino shery. They have a lovely shop inside the restaurant selling stunning Spanish produce (the olive oil is a must! I hear they also do refills). Tapa is a special place in Leith and must be on your list of venues when visiting Edinburgh.

    Just great!! The food is really nice, I specially recommend the croquetas and the San Sebastian cake, but everything was really good. Also, if you try the Sangria go for the classic one...😅
