Cilantro Quayside

Spanish tapas done properly on the Quayside, where small plates and proper wine pairing actually justify the buzz.

You'll find yourself on 15 Side, that stretch of the Quayside that's managed to stay relatively unpretentious despite all the development round here. Cilantro does Spanish tapas the way they should be done—nothing fussy, just quality ingredients treated with respect. The menu's built for sharing, which means you're either coming with people you actually want to spend time with or you're flying solo and chatting to strangers at the bar, both equally valid. The place has that warm, lived-in feeling rather than trying too hard, and at 4.8 stars across 135 reviews, people keep coming back for good reason.
