Tapas · Newcastle upon Tyne
Tapas in the middle of Newcastle that works better with children than you'd expect — the room takes a buggy, there are high chairs, and small plates arrive in waves so nobody has to sit still waiting for one big main. The kids' menu helps, and there's enough veg and vegan on the board to feed a fussy eater without negotiation. Patatas bravas get real praise, as does the tuna tartare with wasabi guacamole, the Galician steak and the tempura cod on lentil stew. Portions are small plates, so ordering five between two adds up — ££ can climb. Worth knowing: it's a compact kitchen, so food can be slow or arrive less than piping hot on a busy service, and there's occasional thumping from upstairs. Book at weekends. One parent called the tapas "delicious, five dishes each one as tasty as the last".
