Taberna Saltpeter Tapas and Wine in Suffolk Coastal

This is by far our favorite restaurant, the atmosphere, the intimacy along with the pure simplicity is unmeasured. Once you add the knowledge of the wines coupled with David's amazing food just means you never want to leave, the fact that we live 14 miles away unfortunately means we have to tear ourselves away. Never change guys you're the best. Harri and Darren

This spot has a cosy, intimate and relaxed feel. It was much like being on holiday! Our tortilla was divine, authentic and filling. And the wine selection is impressive.

This little place is really tucked away, but is well worth seeking out. The food is astonishingly good. The ingredients are fresh, and it's cooked by David in view. Maddie has a wonderful knowledge of wine, and stocks some great bottles. For the full effect, don't drive there. Walk, use public transport or get a taxi/ lift. Kick back with a few glasses of wine, enjoy the food and watch the world go by. I can't recommend it enough.

A true gem. Wonderful atmosphere excellent wines and the food was outstanding. The lamb was superb and the baby squid was delicious and the people working there are so knowledgable and friendly.

Such an amazing place with great vibes, unbelievable food, expert service and recommendations. Left with a full belly, a few bottles of wine and lovely memories. Will be back!

We have eaten tapas all over southern Spain, and in tapas restaurants around England. This is as good as it gets. What a treat to get an authentic bravas sauce and meatballs NOT served in something resembling tomato ketchup. Hard to pick a dish of the day, the celeriac was great, pigs cheeks, ox tongue and mushroom croquettes outstanding. Thank you Maddie and David, This small place is truly special.

Incredible Paella and tapas. This really is as authentic as you can get without getting on a plane! Amazing food - fabulous wine & service

If you have not managed to visit Saltpeter then you should make it a priority. This little piece of Spanish culinary goodness does not disappoint. Amazing classic Spanish tapas dishes that are perfect to share cooked to perfection and are incredible. You will not be disappointed!

I went for a light lunch and got the most delicious vegetarian option which was a beautiful celeriac swirl with amazing flavours of sweet potato and squash and a beurre blanc with parsley oil and miso. Seriously delicious and very clever.

Very cute little place with a friendly vibe, amazing fresh food and interesting natural wines. There are tables both inside and outside, the music coming from vinil records invites you to relax and the menu transports you to Spain with authentic tapas made from fresh ingredients locally sourced from the fishmongers in Felixstowe. The wine is from small vineyards across Europe, made from interesting grapes and produced in natural ways. My favorite is the orange wine and the squid, either fresh on the grill or fried baby squid with delicious aioli dip. My partner likes the chorizo al vino and the secreto iberico, a delicious pork stake. We accompanied the food with a nice bottle of wine and a chat with the owners, Maddie and David and with the other quests from the adjacent tables. A perfect dinner to feed not only the belly but also the soul!

It was a complete delight to find this gem. The food was amazing, I am Coeliac so require gluten free - and Maddie and her husband couldn’t have been more accommodating. The wine and beer were also great. In the summer you could sit outside and enjoy the amazing views as well- do visit you won’t be disappointed

My husband and I popped in for some tapas and were amazed with both the food and wine. The venue is small, with a larger seating area outdoors undercover but with a very authentic feeling. We were warmly welcomed and received possibly the best glass of wine we’ve ever had alongside the most delicious food with fresh squid that we agreed was superior to anything we’d eaten when living in Spain! I can’t believe this exists in Felixstowe! The price was also really reasonable for the quality. We’ll be going back!

Already our 2nd visit in the New Year! Amazing tapas, authentic Spanish with great service and natural wines. Can’t fault it. Ran by a lovely couple.

What fantastic little place this is. The tapas was divine and super authentic, as prepared my David. Fresh octopus and other delicacies are on offer as specials, I went for the excellent tortilla, chorizo and meatballs. Great choice of wines too. Definitely recommended, cosy, authentic and chilled vibe.

Lovely little restaurant with a very friendly lady called Maddy. Food was very tasty. Absolutely loved it. Will definitely be going back to try the Paella.

Brand new wine and tapas bar. Food authentic as chef is from Malaga. Wine good and reasonably priced. Bit of a wait but who cares! Need more tables and chairs though. Would recommend and will go again.

This is the real deal, very exciting to have such perfect Spanish tapas, cooked by an excellent Spanish chef. All the food is cooked freshly to order. Great wines selection. All backed up by friendly and knowledgable front of house. Inside and outside eating space. Glad to say that dogs are made very welcome. Looking forward to next visit.
