Thank you for making my girls day special 💗

Went for a spot of lunch having heard good things about tapas and tunes and glad that I did. The food was delicious, reasonably priced and with friendly service. Will definitely be visiting again.

Visited for the first time on Friday 9th August 2024. Very relaxed atmosphere. Super friendly head waiter greeted us and started extolling the virtues of his wife's cooking. He wasn't wrong! Lovely meal and great service. I'd definitely return!

Found this lovely place by accident, and so glad we did! Amazing authentic Spanish food, lunch deal is fabulous value. Everything we had was delicious, probably up there with some of the best tapas we have had including Spain. Wish we lived nearer!

Our first visit and wont be our last, all our party really enjoyed the tapas, very tasty and good portions. Service was excellent too, one of us said best meal this year so far and difficult to beat!! WOW

Amazing food and service. We had 7 small plates and they were all unique and tasty in their own ways. We will definitely be coming back soon to try other dishes.

First visit here for lunch and we were blown away with how good it was. We ordered 6 different tapas dishes from the lunch specials that came with a free drink. Complimentary bread and dips came first then gradually each of our choices arrived. Everything was great, the meatballs were amazing and on a par or better than ones I have had in Spain! The portions were great, previous reviewers mentioning them have obviously never been to Spain or understood the concept of small plates. It was amazing value with great service, get yourself down there.

Lovely place in the pretty market town of Otley, Yorkshire. Food was delicious, good choice of tapas. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

We had been looking forward to going here for some time. However, after appalling service we won't be back. Why do restaurants believe that if they're busy it's OK to provide terrible service? We arrived @6pm on a Saturday night. Table of 5. We ordered our food and it was only after waiting for some considerable time, we asked where our dishes were. Some time later we were told they'd run out of the dish. Why did they take the order for a dish they no longer could provide and why did we have to ask where the food was before we found out it wasn't coming?? We ordered replacement food and after a very long time we gave up waiting and left hungry and disappointed. We won't return. Oh and they didn't have live music.

Great little addition to Otley's restaurants, great food, different specials and choice always changing.

Had a lovely evening, the food was exquisite, mussels were spot on and the charcuterie board was very good indeed. The staff are nice and the owner seems to really care. Only issue was an obnoxious man threatening bad reviews despite having happily eaten everything. People like that spoil the ambience for everyone. Thankfully he has never been in when I've been there before. And I hope he will not be there again. A real gem and definitely worth a visit. Thanks TnT

Amazing Spanish food (Im Spanish and very fussy with food). Bridget and her team made a great work with the food and service. Great Spanish beer, Estrella, to go with it and lucky to have the talented Mestisa with Latinoamerican music provided with perfect atmosphere and fun! A jewel in the centre of Otley!

Small portions and not very Spanish. Food appeared to be all reheated. Disappointing. Not at all like real tapas. Not authentic

Below average tapas not very Spanish. Overpriced. No atmosphere or music

The food was delicious plenty to choose from. We shared our dishes between the two of us. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Ordered the Patatas Bravas (V) as a dish to share with my vegetarian partner, only to be told after enquiring of a meaty taste that it is cooked in the same oil as the Calamares and Choritzo. Should have told us you were vegetarian, was the answer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our delightful tapas here. Both imaginative new dishes and classic small dishes were delicious and served by friendly welcoming staff.

Fabulous atmosphere upstairs. Great food whilst watching guitarist playing Flamenco music

Fab!! Came with a group for a hen party and we LOVED our meal and drinks. Excellent value and delicious, will definitely come again and would recommend to anyone looking for tapas in Otley.

Thank you Bridget for accommodating us on Mother’s Day at short notice. Oh my, did we enjoy the delicious food. Every dish perfectly cooked and presented. First visit to Tapas and Tunes for my daughter and son but I think they’ll be back soon.

Although I was on my own on a Saturday early evening I was made very welcome - and not seated outside the toilets either. Food was great again and staff attentive and helpful. I was even assured that I didn’t need to rush off to free up the table. I will be back and highly recommend on your own or with a group. It is preferable to book though as it rightly gets very busy.

Great night. Fab food, just the right level of service - friendly with a nice sparkle, but not intrusive. Great place and atmosphere. Will be back. Sprout bhaji was a revelation.

My favourite eating place in Otley. I am vegetation and find their tapas fresh and varied. I just wish they were open more.

First rate place. Strongly recommended. Great Spanish food so authentic it was extraordinary to be told that chef is not Spanish. The berenjenas were amazing - best we’ve had outside Spain. Fourth visit and will certainly be back.

A hidden gem! Popped in for lunch, looking forward to visiting again on a music night. Had tempura calamari which was cooked to perfection along with a tasty paella. My wife really enjoyed her chicken sandwich and the brocoli & stilton soup was perfect. We definitely recommend!

The quality of the food and service is good but unfortunately let down by the portion size. The cost/ portion and quality does not compare to a family run tapas restaurant in the city centre. Unfortunately we wouldn’t visit again unless this was readdressed - shame.

Sad to say very disappointing, it was our first visit to this restaurant, the portion sizes are crazy small for the price, 4 adults £180 and we left hungry, we won’t be returning I’m afraid, I know times are hard but 3 meatballs for £8 and 3 dates for £7.95 not great value.

Great choice of tapas to suit all tastes. The cheese was especially good. Relaxed atmosphere. Lovely wines. Recommend to us by a local lady. Well looked after, left happy and pleasantly full.

Great Little restaurant with lovely decor and atmosphere. The food was delicious and had a lovely Spanish rarebit with a delicious baked cauliflower dish. we have already booked to go back before Christmas! Would certainly recommend tapas and tunes!!!

LOVED the food and what great hosts. We booked at the last minute so there was limited availability (which is usually a good sign). We were not disappointed. Great food, hospitality and setting. There was live music on this evening which we unable to attend but given the opportunity to see the venue. We will be returning and recommending to others. We’ve no photos to share because the food wasn’t on the table long enough to take a picture.

We had a delicious lunch, fantastic flavours and the portions were perfect. We had the lunch set menu which had a good range of dishes to choose from and was a great way to try a few different things. Very reasonably priced. We particularly enjoyed the calamari and the patatas bravas. And the cauliflower with harissa and pomegranate. Also, the olives were amazing! We enjoyed it all! We had a lovely table by the window, and the service was really friendly and prompt. Highly recommended

Came here with my mum for lunch on a Saturday. It was very quiet- just us at first and then midway through our meal a couple joined. That suited us well though. The food was amazing and really reasonably priced. In particular, the halloumi with pea and mint guacamole was gorgeous. We also really enjoyed the broccoli with almonds and the houmous with tabbouleh, tomatoes and pomegranate molasses. The chicken and chorizo paella was very good as well. Good sized portions but not massive. We didn't get dessert and later wished we had as were a bit peckish not long after (also the desserts sounded lovely)

I’ve been trying to contact them for several days in order to make a reservation. The website indicates that they are open. However the online booking system was unresponsive, an email booking attempt was ignored and calls were unanswered, with no voicemail system in place. I passed the restaurant today and saw a sign displayed saying they were closed for a holiday. Why couldn’t their website, phone service and email system have been set up to inform people that they were closed. Not everybody who may wish to use this restaurant walks past their door regularly. This business needs to have a more professional, customer friendly communication system in place.

Nice food. Forgot the water until reminded but friendly service.

First visit, booked for 11am brunch. Atmosphere and space is nice. Food took 45 mins to arrive, only 2 other customers. I had a hunger headache by then. Food was ok but overall a bit disappointing.

Service needed more knowledge of the products. Some products unavailable

Had the bravas, calamari and croquettes which we all really good. George does a cracking job on the bar too!

As a party of three, we booked a table for lunch. The venue looks tiny from the front. However it is like a TARDIS once inside. It is tastefully decorated, with comfy chairs. The ladies chose from the lunchtime menu. Choosing Calamari to start with and Paella as their main. I went off the main menu. Choosing Boquerones, pain a tomato, Gamberone a ajillo, then the slow cooked lamb. All enjoyed with a bottle of White Rioja. The service was excellent even though it was relatively quiet. The only down side is at present it only opens Thursday to Sunday. But with quality food like this. It's popularity will increase.

Excellent food, and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

My partner & I ate here last night after a recommendation having moved up from London. I have to say the trip to Otley from Roundhay was worth it. Absolutely fabulous food and attentive service. Some of the best tapas we've tasted (apart from Seville (close though) - but that's not a fair comparison, really). We particularly liked the Baked Camembert and the Tortilla Espanola. We can also highly recommend the Dark & Stormy cocktail! I've read some reviews here where people think it's expensive. Let me tell you, coming from London, you guys up here don't know how lucky you are. We thought it was really good value, and it had a great ambience. We'll be back again, that's for sure.

Fantastic evening, was recommended by friends to visit this little gem of a restaurant .. the place is really stylish, staff welcoming & service spot on .. Menu is really comprehensive with a selection of really good Pinxtos & Tapas standards .. BUT .. our favourites had to be the Specials board with delicious Lamb & Beef dishes. Lamb in Apricots & Almonds was to die for .. our friends had a Steak sharer board cooked to perfection .. 2 jugs of traditional Sangria , yes with a traditional Brandy Schnapps & Cointreau included , went down very well .. After eating downstairs we caught the Jazz band that we’re playing in the Upstairs restaurant..Speaking to staff they have really great live music regularly in the upstairs restaurant All in all the perfect evening & would highly recommend it

After hearing such good reviews left disappointed. Really small portions for the price limited veggie options. Lacking in flavour expected so much more from here. Not sure we would visit again.

I’m sad to say not the greatest of experiences. The food wasn’t good at all. Service was also really poor. We were waiting ages for our food.

We had sharing steak Buttermilk chicken Scallops Lamb lollipops Strawberry mousse Chocolate brownie Hazelnut and olive oil slice All absolutely delicious as always 😋

Yum yum yum. Good vegetarian selection.

We went for a birthday celebration, after looking at the menu on line. Had to give credit card details on booking £40. The menu given to us bore no resemblance to the on line menu. We ordered the dishes, when they arrived the dishes were...

You REALLY need to visit Tapas and Tunes. Fantastic food, great ambience and superb Friday night music @ JazzClub. Can’t recommend enough; so pleased we have found such a gem of a place to chill and enjoy.

Firstly the menu online is incorrect - advertises the lunch menu and doesn’t mention that it is not available on a Sunday. Ordered from the main menu and the food was actually really nice except for the chicken skewers which I am not entirely sure...

beautiful food, presentation is wonderful and the people are lovely and very friendly. would definitely recommend going, i would go again!!

The place is smaller than expected. The ambiance wasn’t great. We went in on a Friday night. No music on this day and the drinks were just ok. Please don’t have very high expectations

Absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff are so lovely. Best tapas I’ve had in a long time

Really friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere and good food too! Really reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the food. Will be back.

Really enjoyed our first visit tonight. Great food, very tasty. Good drinks and atmosphere. Definitely will be back! Thank you 👍

We came for lunch on Friday and it was quieter than I was expecting. The service and the food was fantastic. We shared 4 tapas, along with bread and olives. Followed by the churros and pistachio and cardamom shortbread. Everything was amazing - not one...

Great afternoon late lunch on a Saturday .. We ordered 6 tapas dishes for 2 people and more than enough for us..every dish was very very scummy and tasty. Will defiantly be back again to try some more dishes .

Called in rather late for a quick lunch when it was quiet and found the staff to be really helpful, patient and accommodating. The menu was vast and I needed help to navigate it as I have allergies. Every item I chose was checked with...

Lovely service and surroundings. The food was lovely. However at £17 for a sharing plate of chicken skewers and we only got 2 on the whole plate was extemely poor. This was too expensive and for a sharing plate was less than ideal.

Sadly, Not great. Nice environment, attentive staff. Calamari was so thin and the coating was too thick. The patatas bravis was warmed up roast potatoes, that were soggy. The chorizo was thin not traditional. The prawns were ok. Maybe we picked wrong, but it just...

Sadly, Not great. Nice environment, attentive staff. Calamari was so thin and the coating was too thick. The patatas bravis was warmed up roast potatoes, that were soggy. The chorizo was thin not traditional. The prawns were ok. Maybe we picked wrong, but it just wasn’t what it should be. Not worth the money in my opinion, and it is only that, my opinion.

Came for lunch last week with my sister. We had 7 dishes all of which were fabulous. The standout dish was the hummus & falafel. We both thought it was delicious. Lovely wine, great cocktails. There’s really nothing not to like about this great little...

Tapas and Tunes is amazing. We rented the room upstairs for a private function. Bridget was brilliant, very attentive, listened to everything we wanted and executed it really well. We chose our buffet food and wanted most of it to be gluten free. Bridget went out of her way (along with the chefs) to ensure that even dishes that weren't normally GF, were made specially for us. Could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much!

Little bit disappointed I have to say, very small portions even for tapas and quite pricey for what it was. Tiny little place meaning you can't go to the toilet or get up without being on top of other diners.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was outstanding and reasonably priced in my opinion! The service was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our night!

Sadly, couldn't eat here even though there were only 4 people dining in at 5.30pm. A not very polite man ushered us out the door saying "fully booked" and continued a narrow stare as we took our leave. Was still largely empty when we went past an hour and a half later! Not sure if it was kids or naturally tanned complexions that was the problem. Hopefully not typical of Otley or Yorkshire as we found a very pleasant Greek place around the corner.

Visited on Saturday night. Small place and given a pokey table for two next to the door. Over-priced, with 7 dishes, 1 glass of wine and a beer coming in at over £60. Furthermore the calamari and salmon were dry. And NO tunes. I was...

Visited last night. Absolutely beautiful food especially the Chicken and Prawn Jambalaya. We ordered 6 dishes between us and all of them were delicious. Our waitress was lovely, smiley and attentive. Finished with cocktails and cake. We will be back.

We visited Tapas and Tunes with our friends on a Saturday night. On arrival there was only one other table which I thought was a shame for a sat but then 10 mins later it filled up and there was a really nice atmosphere. The...

Very nice tapas, especially the Manchego and Parma ham.

We've been several times now. Love the food and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food, quick service, friendly staff and good relaxing atmosphere. 🥰

Sadly we didn't get to experience any food... we booked a table for four on a Saturday evening. We asked for a bottle of water to be told they didn't have any, which set the tone for the rest of the experience. The staff seemed...

Visited here on Saturday evening 13/07/22 and were not disappointed. Four of us ordered 3 dishes each and each one was of excellent quality and beautifully cooked. I ordered the paella which was one of the best I’ve had, very authentic. Lovely staff with great...

Absolutely amazing food and great service. Cocktails are also lovely. Shame we came when there weren't any entertainment but we will definitely be back. More than deserve 5 stars.

Outside area a bonus in this weather however needs a good tidy up & weeding ... cobwebs need sweeping away ... food lovely x

We ordered three tapas each . Five were really great but I got the Paella. It was really inedible. The calamari was so tough I couldn’t actually chew it and the chicken was horrendous . It’s £8.50 a portion so not the cheapest in the...

Lovely little place in the heart of this lovely market town. Busy so you needed to book but great choice of tapas especially on their specials board. Service was good with staff being attentive but not overly so. Only slight disappointment was the potions of...

Incredible food and drink, served in wonderful surroundings. We had the steak and it was delicious! Kid friendly and fantastic service. We will definitely be returning! 😋😀

The staff were very helpful as we didn't have a clue what to order. Everything we ordered we shared, there were all kinds of different tastes. I left having had plenty to eat. I would recommend this place.

Excellent. Freshly prepared, very tasty food with a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend! Reasonably priced and authentic tapas.

We recently visited Tapas & Tunes in Otley. What a little gem of a place. We have eaten tapas before in Spain and appreciate that tapas can be hot or cold and made up of lots of little plates of food. We were not disappointed....

the service was lovely, the food was delicious and quick. definitely returning again and the music upstairs sounded great!

The staff were very friendly. Not very up to date as to whether dishes were still available, so 3 times had to come back and we had to revise our choices. We (4 adults) ordered bread with oil to dip, along with a selecting of...

Had a gorgeous lunch here today. So tasty &a lovely change for lunch. My sister & I ordered 3 plates between us & both thoroughly enjoyed. A lovely warm atmosphere inside on a rainy day in Otley! We will certainly return!

Had a lovely girly afternoon with my 2 sisters, The food was beautiful and the drinks were great. The staff very attentive and friendly will definitely be returning.

A lovely addition to Otley. Fantastic lunch with good service and delicious tapas. What more could you wish for!

Had a superb lunch. Food, drink and service were all excellent. Loved all the plates, especially the gambas, the calamari and the halloumi popcorn; everything a tapas bar should be!! 😋 Would highly recommend, we’ll be back!

Girls night out, arrived, took ages to get ordered. When food arrived, none of us could believe how tiny the portions were. Minuscule, but unfortunately the prices did not correlate. Service also not good. Our food arrived in Dribs snd drabs. No asking if things...

Lovely novelty restaurant, great food excellent service, I love tapas so this was ideal for me, all fresh food. Highly recommend.

Visited on a Saturday evening to celebrate my birthday . We'd pre ordered our food with Bridgette who was extremely helpful and accommodating . We were greeted by Sam who was lovely and went out of his way to make our evening extremely enjoyable. The...

Fantastic flavours. We had seven dishes between us and everyone was superb.

I was really looking forward to eating here. The portions are tiny, I mean ridiculously tiny for the price. Our bill came to £50 for lunch which included 3 drinks (only two of us). I didn’t know you could get bowls this small. Left hungry,...

What a gem. Waitress was very helpful. I don't eat meat or dairy and she was able to tell us what dishes could be adapted. The portion sizes are perfect for sharing, just as tapas should be. The wine list and cocktail menu looked great...

Delicious food, quick service and very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. Make sure you have the spiced cauliflower if it’s on.

The food in tapas and tunes was fantastic every dish was really tasty a beautiful atmosphere the staff were really attentive especially Luca who served us well done will be back maybe on a music night Thanks to everyone on the staff for a really...

Visited on a Saturday evening having read previous reviews. The plates we chose were good and tasty, notably the fig and goats cheese, the patatas bravas, the braised lamb. However, we do feel there are too many items served on sourdough bread which tend to...

Fabulous lunchtime tapas -friendly staff. Looking forward to trying it again in the evening
