La Taberna Leeds in Leeds

Everything was amazing, from the moment me and my family walked in the waiters were lovely and the food was 100/10. The waiting time isn't even long, and WOW. I'm so impressed at the chefs, all the food was on point, and we congratulated the team as we fortunately were some of the last to come out of the restaurant. It's literally a hidden gem in Leeds and I am DEFINITELY going back. By the way, the tapas by themselves are quite big, so roughly three is enough to fill you up :)

Delicious!! Me and my family went here to celebrate a graduation and we had the best time! Amazing authentic spanish tapas, great wine, and lovely people. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic, the warm welcome, the food was exceptional and a completely relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful food, friendly service and a great atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Beautiful flavours. Everything cooked fresh. Service perfect. Highly recommended.

5 star experience. Tasty sangria, fantastic service, lovely atmosphere and the food. Beautiful!!!!

Amazing food genuine lovely staff and great atmosphere.. Well worth a visit real hidden gem.. Just choose everything.. The wine is lovely

First visit, we loved it. Delicious food and good service 😋

Amazing food. Genuine lovely staff and great food well worth a visit.. A real hidden gem

Wonderful food, fantastic service and great ambiance. An authentic Spanish restaurant in the heart of Leeds which you shouldn’t miss. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and food. Atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone. We got 6 plates between 2 of us and it was the perfect amount.

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t recommend it more, the food was unbelievable the staff were so helpful and friendly and the service was brilliant. We had a voucher as a gift from a friend who highly recommended and we were not disappointed! We will definitely be back

We went with high hopes after reading the reviews. Unfortunately the food is not good enough quality for what they are charging. The Patatas Bravas were overcooked and had a small amount of spicy sauce on top. The aubergine frittas were very oily and too deep fried, very hard. The gambas arrived under cooked, we left them to cook in the hot dish, and not enough garlic at all, only a few slithers. Meatballs were average, no taste Calamari were OK, I asked to some more alioli and was charged for it! The saviour was the steak, not a huge portion but was good quality meat and cooked as we had requested. The atmosphere felt authentic of a small back street tapas in Spain. Hence the 3 stars. We would not return or recommend on the basis or the quality of the ingredients used.

Tapas was absolutely amazing, best Chorizo I've ever had. Staff were lovely and a nice atmosphere. Plenty of Gluten free options

Highly recommend, this place was fab. Staff were so friendly, food was amazing, would definitely go back

Such a lovely place to eat. We enjoyed a great selection of dishes, and the welcome and service was first class. A really fun and memorable experience.

The absolute best tapas restaurant i have ever been. Every single dish was cooked to perfection. Excellent flavours especially the chorizo ( an absolute must have). Service was exceptional, fast efficient friendly and very professional. We will definitely be back.

Amazing Tapas, great value for money we had 6 separate dishes with a glass of sangria for less than £100, the atmosphere here is relaxed and cosy you almost forget you’re in the city centre.

Beautiful food, very cozy atmosphere Food arrived very quickly. Reasonable prices.

Great! Quick call in as passing

Absolutely excellent, did not disappoint, a must from us & wont be the last time we visit . Staff , restaurant food . I can’t fault it

I'm not easy person when it comes to food....amazing food and totally satisfied by my every orders.

Delicious food, friendly and welcoming staff and very reasonably priced. The croquettes were amazing. Lovely hidden away setting

Awesome place, great food, fabulous service. What a find. We will definitely be back here next time we are in Leeds. The sangria is fantastic

Amazing staff, amazing food and the owner was brilliant! Overall experience was fantastic! Such a friendly place we will definitely be back!

We had some fantastic tapas here this evening. The food was really fresh, cooked well and tasted really flavoursome. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Overall the price was really reasonable and we have a lovely evening. We would certainly visit again.

Great Place, excellent food and service. Brilliant Staff too! Will definitely go again!!

The best of the best!! My favourite restaurante in the whole country. So authentic. I am so glad this “local” has been given the recognition it deserves. I have been coming to this little taste of heaven for many years now and it gets better every time. The food speaks for itself. They have specials each time which are insanely good. The chorizo dish is the best chorizo al vino I have ever had in my life, considering I lived in Spain for a time. Nothing compares. The people are wonderful, greeting you with a smile and always checking in. The Latin music in the background creates a wonderful atmosphere. And to top it off the sangria both white and red are so delicious. The perfect place for a family gathering, date or catch up. Mi novio dijo “la comida aquí alimenta el alma” y es verdad.

What a wonderful find, amazing food faultless great and friendly service.

Service was excellent. The decor is good, minimalist and uncluttered. The place feels warm. We visited during lunch time on Tuesday and it was quiet. Menu is not extensive. They have some unusual items in the tapas menu. I found some of the dishes a bit sweet.

A very amazing and quiet spot for people who want to enjoy tapas. Decor was really spot on and made you feel like you were in local Spain. The staff greeted us with a smile and a great attitude. The food is fantastic and you can really tell the chef puts so much effort into each meal. We enjoyed that much we didn't want to leave, would definitely come back again and recommend for anyone who would love a quiet date night.

It looks like this is the best Spanish tapas restaurant in Leeds! Food was delicious! Service - perfect! And atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend.

The best tapas in Leeds, great food & great service

Great food, lovely little venue and the most helpful and polite staff you could expect to come across.

We booked La Taberna as the restaurant for our wedding celebration as it is one of our favourite restaurants. Andres, Vivi and the team were super accommodating and did everything we asked for. The food was delicious as always and received several compliments from our guests. Overall they are great value for money and we can't wait to visit again and would recommend La Taberna to anyone.

Great little indie restaurant in Leeds. Nice vibe and excellent food. The chorizo in wine is excellent as were the sardines. Give this place a try, won't be disappointed.

Our son just moved to Leeds and after a very long day, we've decided to rest and enjoy food in La Taberna. From the 1st moment to the last second we felt like being welcomed by a long missing friend. Food, wow food-feast for your senses and service.....hmm absolutely PERFECT. Our next visit in Leeds will definitely end up in LaTaberna.

The best tapas in Leeds 100%! UNREAL food! Highly recommend the aubergine fritters (life changing), the croquettes, the prawns and the chorizo. Really friendly staff and a great atmosphere. But of a hidden spot but the food is outstanding

After reading reviews on TripAdvisor I chose la Taberna for lunch. My wife had just finished work that morning and after 46 years had finally retired. What a brilliant venue. The staff were superb and the Tapas was fantastic. The Chorizo in red wne and honey was superb. It was one of the best things I have ever eaten. Cannot fault the place and will be going back again. Thank you La Taberna for a memorable lunch

Had such a lovely meal yesterday. All of the dishes were delicious and a wonderful setting. Will definitely go again. Beautiful!

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Very friendly owner. We all had a great time. The food was outstanding, best tapas in the aUK.

Came here for a meal, what a little gem , very nice place , meal was outstanding and all the staff were very friendly and professional, owner came over to us to speak as he did to all his guests which was lovely , his wife is the chef and every dish we had ordered was delicious , intimate little place lovely atmosphere , it’s a must , we will definitely be back

Me and my partner came for my birthday meal. As soon as we stepped in we were greeted by the warm, welcoming staff who helped us decide on what to eat and aided to our every need. The food was beautiful! with such generous portions, definitely worth every penny.

Very friendly and helpful staff, explained the menu and advised how many dishes to choose. Food was amazing. Would definitely visit again.

Awesome place great people food just a shame the steak was quite small. Would go again.

Amazing meal here with a friend whilst on a city break. Staff were so warm and friendly, and made us feel incredibly welcome. Food was top notch, the eggplant and sangria was to die for. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Fantastic. Simple as that. Great staff and great food. Highly recommend this place.

We wanted a nice informal evening meal for 4 family members. We got exactly that. Our delicious Tapas was served by lovely friendly and helpful staff. I look forward to going back to try more of the tasty food.

amazing food, amazing staff, very welcoming and friendly.

I didn't understand that Spanish concept of Tapas food

Best Spanish food I’ve ever had in Leeds. Great people and service that make you feel like home. I can’t recommend it enough.

Great place and range of food. Catered well for gluten-free needs. Most of the dishes were superb. Friendly and helpful service.

Such an amazing place for dinner. Really enjoyed our experience and will 100% be back!

Amazing food. We had 6 tapas, a couple of beers and a couple of glasses of wine. Less than £100 👍🏻 It was fairly quiet but the service was fabulous. Highly recommended.

Fantastic prawns and a great rioja!

Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere! The aubergine fritters are insane! The staff are lovely. 100% recommend.

It was superb, 4 of us went. Although a small select menu, each dish was excellent. Wonderful ambience and the service was fantastic

Had an amazing time here at La Taberna last night (7/6/24) for a date night. Excellent service, we were so surprised how quickly the food came out after we ordered it! The highlights for us was the Pan Tumaca, Gambas Al Ajillo and the Sardinas… but every dish served was incredible. Would highly recommend!

Wow. What a find. My wife and i ate here Saturday 1/6/24 the surroundings were great plenty of room not stacked on top of each other. The food was/is out of this world. Front of house staff were so professional and friendly. Would we come again? You bet. We cannot wait.

Exactly what we hoped. Amazing service, the staff were super informative about the menu and really attentive too. The food itself was also fantastic, very authentic and amazing flavours. We’ll be back!

First time eating here and really enjoyed it. The service was great and relaxed but attentive and the dishes I had were very tasty and fresh. I particularly enjoyed the sardines and the chicken rolls. I will definitely be coming back (if not for the delicious sangria!)

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere, will definitely be back!

Genuine Spanish atmosphere with great food. Looking forward to another visit.

Incredible service, and wonderful food. The hosts were lovely, would highly recommend. Vegan options were delicious and my family loved the grilled octopus. Thank you, La Taberna!

Great food, lovely service - they were so nice!

Cosy venue, staff was really lovely, loved the music atmosphere and how attentive they were ! 10/10

Wow, the best tapas I have ever had! The flavours are amazing. Already booked again

Been there twice now, amazing food. I'd highly recommend the Chorizo in red wine .

Great, authentic tapas. Friendly staff. Will go again

A great pick from so many eateries in Leeds. A short easy walk from the centre. Down the steps and into a lovely welcoming atmosphere. This smallish but intimate venue is superb. Well spaced tables with low noise make a fabulous place to eat, particularly if you are 'into' tapas/Spanish style dining. A good range of very well prepared and presented food. Tasted delicious too. Overall price for food, drink, atmosphere and quality of service is good value. We shall return.

I can say that this place always has been in my heart.Authentic Spanish tapas,lovely atmosphere,friendly staff and amazing experience.I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants experience delicious food and great wine selection.This place always make you feel welcome and special.I wish there were more authentic places like this one.Hard work always pays off and I can see that this place makes a lot of effort for customers.Can’t wait to visit this place again.

Went here for valentines day two years in a row and is always as expected! lovely staff, quick service and amazing food. I would say the prices are very reasonable for the quality and sangrias were amazing!

Amazing food and service as always. I've been to La Taberna several times now and each time the service and quality of food are very good. Whatever you pick off the menu it is very tasty and well cooked. The selection of wines is very good also. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a fantastic time in La Taberna, the food was excellent and the hospitality was incredible. We look forward to coming again!

My favourite tapas place! Service is exceptional. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is sensational. Authentic Spanish experience! Highly recommend. See you again in 2 weeks!

Was looking for a meal out for my husbands birthday whilst we were staying in leeds overnight and stumbled across this place. Booked for 4 and every dish was absolutely wonderful. Food came out as it was cooked as you would expect with tapas. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. We also had prosecco and sangria. We were surprised when the bill came at how reasonably priced it was. Cannot recommend this place enough. Will definitely visit this hidden gem on our next visit to leeds!

Best tapas I have had outside of Spain, and best service I have had in Leeds

Super little restaurant. Great service, food and atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Had a really lovely time, would highly recommend. Ivan the waiter is such an interesting and lovely bloke. Really pleased we found this place!!!

Fabulous staff who seem genuinely focused on you having a great experience. Food was excellent, and the setting has a lovely ambience. Would definitely return.

Wonderful atmosphere and the food...OMG!

Went to La Taberna on Friday night, I was very impressed with the food and customer service. Staff where very knowledgeable, I would highly recommend :)

Really nice joint for special occasions considering the prices.

Got recommended this place and so glad we went. The waiter was lovely and explained everything without over pushing too much food in us. Omg the beef skewers off the special board, the aubergine and the croquettes were amazing. And their homemade creme brulee was gorgeous to finish. Washed it all down with sangria which was perfect. Will definitely be going back here soon.

Fantastic experience, great service and excellent atmosphere...

Excellent tapas and great service. Recommend to all! Visited again recently, and it was just as good as last time!

Amazing food, and great service. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

So glad we found this place. Amazing authentic tapas & lovely service :) they squeezed us in for Valentine’s Day and were so welcoming. Great atmosphere too, will definitely be coming back!

Lovely staff, food is 10/10 and the value is really good, wouldn’t go anywhere else for tapas! Well seasoned, full of flavour and cooked perfectly our favourites are the octopus (pictured) the Chorizo & patatas bravas (pictured) tried the lamb for the first time and very juicy and flavourful, the aubergine fritters were also a lovely first time try!

The food here was great, and the service was outstanding - attentive but not in your face or pushy.

Wow..without doubt the best Tapas I have eaten in the UK.... Stunning. The staff are superb, the surroundings are equally as good but the star of the show is the food....oh, and the wine is superb also. La Taberna we will be back...

We loved our visit to La Taberna! The tapas was delicious, the service quick and friendly, and it was a lovely atmosphere down some steps. We had the aubergine, pulpo, tortilla, and calamari. All winners! Apparently the wine chorizo, and Catalan desert are also amazing. Next time!

Perfect place for a date night or a gathering. The staff service was immense and the food was perfection. An absolute hidden gem for Leeds with all the authenticity of Spain.

Such a wonderful place. Great atmosphere, amazing food and lovely staff. The chorizo is out of this world! We love it here.

Absolutely loved La Taberna in Leeds.. The first time we have visited and we will be back again. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The delicious food was delivered at a steady pace, not all at once like some tapas restaurants, which was really appreciated. The portion sizes were spot on. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing tapas. The croquetas were outstanding!

First time coming here, I saw Leeds Indulgence (food reviewer on Insta) recommended this place and it was amazing. 4 of us went for my birthday and everyone loved it. We will definitely be going back here, such a hidden gem! The chorizo and the aubergine fritters were stand out dishes for us but it was all amazing! Service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and cheery, lovely music on, great atmosphere!

Great establishment and great food and a special thanks to Andre to catering for us. Would highly recommend

Lovely little place with a good atmosphere 👌🏽
