“ Fancied a tapas night in Windermere and thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Each dish was as tasty as the next so it's hard to highlight any particular tapas. We just didn't want it to end. ”
“ Have been coming here for over 12 years with my wife whenever we're in town. Our last visit at the start of the month was our first since 2021. The food was exceptional and service as good as always. Can still taste it all now even a month later! ”
“ Very pleasant atmosphere in the bar with Spanish background music creating a really relaxing holiday feeling. The drinks selection was good, although a keg ale that is not Beavertown might appreciated by some. Staff, for the most part were smiley and friendly although one guy came across as a tad full of himself. Lovely place for people watching in the centre of Bowness. ”
“ Went on Saturday and really enjoyed it. Food was really good (popular Tapas dishes done well) and service was great. 2 ladies looking after the whole restaurant (looked like they were understaffed) working like crazy to keep everyone happy. Will be returning ”
“ Absolutely amazing tapas food. Great selection for wine and beers. They don't seem to accept reservations so we were given a buzzer and made aware of the waiting time of 30 mins when we arrived. It was pretty much bang on 30 mins when we were buzzed to go upstairs for food. The bar area you wait in downstairs is worth hanging around in, the sangria was very nice! ”
“ Incredible frozen mango margarita!! Not on the menu but combined some things and they were willing to create it. 10/10 would recommend- great value for money and delicious!! ”
“ This place is a must for drinks or food. I have never had lamb skewers that the meat was so soft. Wow. Go here everytime your in bowness and you won't be disappointed. Pic - there was more to come.. ”
“ Our 3rd time in Windermere and every time we enjoy the food from this restaurant. The service is also very good, Susana today was very happy to help us with everything we needed. We will come back everytime we can, tapas for life. ”
