Tapa Tapa at The O2 – Review courtesy of The SaVVy Club<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

As anyone who has been to The O2 will know there are an enormous number of eateries within the dome catering for virtually every taste and budget. My visit took me to the Spanish tapas restaurant, Tapa Tapa. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The restaurant itself had only been open a month or so and my first impressions of it were excellent. It was clean and tastefully decorated with a wonderful selection of art work adorning the walls. Whilst spacious and open, the deep red walls and dark furniture gave a welcoming \u2018homely\u2019 ambience. The staff were very attentive and were happy to recommend wines that would perfectly accompany our meal.<\/p>\n

There are no private dining areas in the restaurant however our party were seated upstairs and as it was early evening on a Tuesday, we were the only ones in that area. We had opted for a selection of starters and main courses for our table and were not disappointed by the quality or quantity of the food that was brought before us. Each dish was well presented and our waitresses took time to explain what each dish was. I have often found in the past that when opting for tapas one is sometimes left feeling hungry however this certainly was not the case here. The range of dishes available are too numerous to list here however the high points of the meal for me were a special oak aged ham from Bilbao, superb large king prawns fried in special \u2018San Miguel\u2019 beer batter and a rather delicious chocolate desert all washed down with superb wines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only down side to the evening was the air conditioning. Considering I made my visit on a chilly November evening, the air temperature within the restaurant was rather low. The manager advised me that this was something that they were in negotiations about with TheO2 as the air conditioning is controlled centrally rather than by each individual shop\/restaurant. However this was a very minor point and certainly didn\u2019t detract from the delicious food and excellent service. <\/p>\n
