Tapa

You head down to Leith's waterfront on a Friday night and suddenly you're somewhere that feels a bit more Barcelona than Bonnington. Tapa's got that relaxed-but-lively energy that makes you want to linger over glasses of wine and keep ordering just one more plate. The menu moves seasonally, so what you get depends on what's caught their eye at the market, but the focus stays locked on doing Spanish food properly — cured meats that actually taste of something, seafood that hasn't been messed about with, patatas bravas that'll make you reconsider what you thought you knew. The room's unpretentious, the staff know their stuff without being precious, and the wine list skews Spanish with some genuinely interesting lesser-known bottles at reasonable prices.
