Being the only authentic Spanish tavern in Cyprus, owned by Madrid pureblood Maria Jose Calderón, Las Tapas Tavern & Bar offers a fresh, traditional menu that merits repeat visits.

The vibe is laid-back, and the space is ample but cosy with wooden stools along a stone built (and well-stocked) bar. Next to the bar, the main restaurant also accommodates a stage for events like flamenco shows, guitar recitals or live rumba and salsa music nights. In the summertime, the patio becomes the main dining area with vibrant flowerpots and climbing plants décor.

References to the mother country are plentiful: Paco de Lucia on the sound system, photos of Spanish cities on the walls, knowledgeable Spanish waiting staff and real-deal Iberian ingredients. A simple plate of potato omelette– a dish that seems only to work in Spain – is packed with flavour; lightly battered calamari is cooked to perfection;– grilled marinated meat skewer; completely lives up to its appearance. Plus daily specials dominated by bracingly fresh market catches make every visit special.

Las Tapas' trademark is the freshly made paella. Like all well reputed Spanish restaurants, the tavern and bar does not pre-cook and reheat the paella. Plus, it is the chef´s speciality and a highly requested dish for many years, here and in Spain. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-order your paella when making your reservation and enjoy this heavenly delight that can be made with seafood, meat or vegetables.

Las Tapas formula is based on authentic dishes, good value and traditional décor. It seeks to bring the best of Spanish hospitality to the Cyprus restaurant scene, serving lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday, apart from offering tapas and drinks from noon till night.
