With gleaming wooden counters, traditional terracotta tiles, and a wall boasting a deep shelf jammed with wines and liquor, El Tapeos’s modern shophouse in Thonglor draws discerning foodies and hungry diners looking for their next perfect Instagram venue alike.

The restaurant boasts deep ties with its sister restaurant, El Rinconcito de Juan, a thriving and renowned establishment in Madrid that’s over 10 years old. But even without prestigious culinary roots, the food at El Tapeo excels in its own right, serving up some of the best tasting Spanish plates and snacks you’ll find in the city. Kick the meal off on the right foot with an order of Tabla Mixta to share. This generous cold platter comes laden with savoury Iberian cuts, chorizo sausages, and various types of cheese. The traditional Valencia-style paellas are another standout dish, so definitely try the Arroz Negro Paella where large juicy prawns and fresh mussels sit atop a bed of charcoal-hued rice that derives its colour from cuttlefish.

Then wash your meal down with a bottle of wine from the numerous Spanish regions that spotlight different grape varietals. Not a fan of Spanish wine? Not to worry as the dining spot also carries wines from the popular neighbouring countries of France and Italy. Convivial and lively, the Spanish eating and drinking joint El Tapeo dazzles with its authentic cuisine and warm atmosphere. (Feb 2018)
