Tapeo & Wine, Manchester


Joining Lunya, La Bandera, El Gato Negro, Ibérica, Bar San Juan, El Rincon de Rafa, Evuna, (amongst others), Tapeo and Wine is one of the newest of Manchester’s many Spanish restaurants… each one has its charms but, based on my visit, Tapeo has earned its place amongst my faves.

Highlights included the Conejo with its spicy hot oil and the Berenjenas which are always a favourite when visiting my parents in Andalucia. The only real weak dish was the Merluza which as I found the sauce a little insipid.

Aceitunas – Campo real Olives


Pan con Tomate – Toasted Bread with rubbed Tomato, Garlic and EVOO


Ensalada de Tomate y Cebolla – Beef Tomato & White Sweet Onion Salad
