    It's hard to find good Spanish food in the UK sometimes. But Tapa proved to be the go-to place if you want excellent Spanish meals. The potato omelette was incredible.

    The best Sunday roast in Edinburgh we’ve had, the stars of the show were definitely the meat, was genuinely so soft and the gravy was perfect! A really relaxing experience & a good variety of red wines too, we drank Skye’s recommendation and it paired perfectly!
