I came here with my dad and can honestly say it’s the best tapas that I’ve ever eaten. We were both blown away by the taste of the food, and the quality of each dish. The staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful and friendly. Going to make this a must visit whenever we’re in Abergavenny!

Avoid avoid avoid. The staff are very rude. Tapas Twist, more like Tapas twisted. I have dined in many restaurants in many countries. This experience will be memorable as I have to say, they excelled in at least one area, that being complete and utter arrogance and self righteousness. The saga started off by the Maitre D telling us upon first approach that she can’t seat us outside, even though I had called and requested it. They had said they would ‘do what they can’ if we arrived by 7pm. Upon arrival, she simply shrugged her shoulders and said no. She was very rude to say the least. Myself and my wife were celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary and had requested for a table outside when booking. The temperature that day was above 30c and we would have appreciated and preferred an outside table. She then continued telling me there are plenty of other places along the High Street that I could dine in if I was disappointed. On three occasions, I said I was ok and happy to sit inside. The manager then intervened and explained that they are happy to take our custom. I thought, great, she is nice. What a mistake! She was even more arrogant. I ordered a Rioja which was fitting for the tapas dishes we were planning to order. The wine was way to warm, so I asked if they could either have it in the fridge or in an ice bucket for about 10 mins to bring it to the level that would be satisfactory for us to appreciate it. The manager threw what I can only describe as a wobbly. She firstly introduced her credentials as a sommelier, and then suggested that white wine would be better for us instead as that is normally cold. She then quizzed me on my knowledge of wines. Wow! Anyway, cut a long story short, I had an ice bucket and ten minutes later, the wine was superb. I even asked the manager to try it. My god, I think I offended her even more. Not quite sure why. I’m a simpleton, but do know when red is a tad warm. I just felt they wanted us out as quickly as possible after that. I will be avoiding this place and would prefer to take the meal deal at the Tesco Express a couple of doors away. If selecting this venue, DO read the reviews. I would love to hear their side of the story.

Must be time for another review as my credit card statements tell me we've eaten here nine times in the last 12 months. Always excellent, the cooking is so consistent and service very friendly. We tend to rotate six or seven dishes out of the ten we love. Any room for improvement - a few more specials would be good.

First visit to this establishment was looking for a tasty lunch and this restaurant certainly delivered that. Greeted by Warm, friendly staff and seated quickly (we had not pre booked) Ordered a variety of pork belly, calamari, padron peppers, croquettes & goats cheese to share between two of us and every dish was fresh and tasted lovely. A nice variety of items to order from the menu selection and also a special’s board, pricing was also very reasonable for such good food quality. Happy we found this little gem of a place as we will certainly be returning. Also a big mention of how clean this restaurant was everything including the dining area, toilets & garden area was spotless.

They were experienced with my friends Vegan needs switching ingredients like the aubergine in honey for maple syrup which he could not stop raving about. I had the ham croquettes which were delicious. We were stuffed by the end of the evening and happily surprised how little it had cost.

‘Tastiest meal I’ve had in a long time’! - my grandmother lunch partner. We had an absolutely fantastic meal. Service was lovely and the lady serving us was so friendly and happy to give recommendations. But the food, wow. Every dish stood out for its flavour and presentation. Calamari was one of the tastiest I’ve had, the cod was fantastic (and so glad it was recommended to us!), smoked duck, aubergine, croquettes and the aioli on the patatas bravas, yum! Thank you for a wonderful meal and we can’t wait to return. Have already recommended to friends and family!

Loved this place! It was packed when we turmed up without booking, but the wedding server Daria said we could have a table for an hour! She rushed our order through for us and even let us know when we were due to leave that the couple who were expected then had called to say they were running late, so we could stay another 20 minutes and have another drink or dessert - so sweet of her! The food was delicious, especially the honey aubergine, cod and fabada (sausage and bean stew), and the portions were more than sufficient. We had a great time, largely thanks to the lovely Daria!

Entered a small ish dining area, lots of staff milling about, all friendly. Menu states food won’t always be brought out together due to cooking times but that was fine with us. The organic Pinot Grigio was a winner with the other two diners (I was driving so didn’t try any) most of our dishes were lovely. The calamari was overcooked, potato brava needed salt. The mushrooms were beautiful especially with the bread. Meats were also beautiful. The one downside for us was to use the toilet you had to go outside, in bad weather this is a nightmare. Also there’s only one toilet, not good if the restaurant is busy

Myself and my partner visited here one evening after we'd been for a walk around St Mary's Vale. We had a friendly welcome from the staff and they were very helpful with pointing out what vegan options we could have from the menu. They even asked the chef to adjust a couple of the dishes to suit our needs. The service was very swift, with our dishes rolling out of the kitchen quite quickly. The presentation of the food looked good, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The food tasted great and each mouthful was bursting with great flavours. It's a beautiful little restaurant with a lovely relaxed vibe going on. We highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Me and my partner went to visit as we enjoyed before however this time we were met with a disgusting attitude from the host. My partner is exempt from wearing a mask and gets very anxious about this, when we approached the door for a table she said ‘you got a mask’ we said he’s exempt and she replied with ‘what’ so we pointed to the sunflower lanyard my partner had on and she just rolled her eyes at us. Absolutely disgusting way to treat a customer we will never be returning again. We decided to go to the lovely Turkish restaurant down the road where we were met with amazing service and delicious food! Would recommend people avoid this place if you don’t want rude service!! Wouldn’t give it 1 star but that’s the lowest I could

I hadn’t pre-booked but called when we returned to the car and they managed to fit us in.We ordered a good selection of food - bread, olives, croquettes, meatballs, cod, patatas bravas and goats cheese and everything was demolished! It was tasty and quickly cooked and served. I could see the kitchen from my seat and the chef was working so quickly and cooking everything fresh.They took details for track and trace and all tables were well spaced. Staff wore face shields too.We ordered one large glass of wine (Rioja - not the best for £7.50) and three soft drinks and the bill came to just under £45.Thank you so much for fitting us in, we really enjoyed.

After being recommended to eat at this restaurant I’m bitterly disappointed .The food tasted great although no different to any other good establishment . If you have a good appetite and want to feel fulfilled after eating then this isn’t the place for you unless you want to spend a fortune ! Spent £50 and had 6 bowls of nothing, 4 meatballs and a bit of sauce for over £6 come on...The waitress appeared very blunt and lacked professionalism . Been to hundreds of places around the country /world and I wouldn’t hurry back . We sat in the garden which had no music and looked like a building site, totally lacked any atmosphere, Abergavenny is a fantastic town and believe me there is far better places to eat than this place .

The food was OK, but not as good as we thought when we read the menu which looked impressive. The patatas bravas were like frozen Aunt Bessie potatoes, nothing like I have had before at other restaurants. The chorizo is cider could have done with being cooked slowly, it had started to disintegrate whilst being a bit chewy. The chickpea and spinach stew was quite tasteless, a shame, like I said we had high hopes.

Walk in, as usual nothing planned!A warm welcome from two of the staff and quickly sat at a table with menu's for food and drink. After a little time, we are asked to order drinks which was good! Decisions made about food an opted for something from the specials board - the brisket and the Fabada which we both love along with the dolcelette. There was also some bread with oil and balsamic. Following this we decided to have the mixed meat platter which rounded the meal off nicely! In addition to the food we had 2 latte's and 3 pints of premium lager and the bill came in at £54 which was well worth it! It's been posted that it's £7 a pint - I had 3, had the meat board at £14 bread & oil £3, Fabada £7, and dolcelette £5.50, can't remember the cost of the brisket but even if that were £7 would take the bill more to the £60?0Sso struggle to see how lager is £7??? But, even if it was, would not detract from the experience for us!! Not only will we go back but we will take friends with us as it seems a great place for friends/family, sharing food!!Toilets were nice, in the courtyard but heated, spotlessly clean, unisex and changing table, and aids for those using a wheelchair users. There is even a wash handbasin at a lower level for chaur users.

Gentleman who answered the phone laughed when I asked if he had any tables available. Then said ‘you haven’t been here before have you’. And told me they had a non-table available but couldn’t explain what this meant. And eventually laughed again and said ‘no, no tables’. Totally accept it was a busy time of year but just rung on the off chance there was room for two or a cancellation. Shame the person felt it was ok to laugh at me.

Have visited several times but I have noticed the portion sizes have got smaller. Our favourite, cod in sweet corn sauce was a generous sized fillet when tapas twist opened but is now small pieces in sauce in a very small dish, value for money has reduced as a result. It’s a shame as it is a really nice tapas menu but I fear they make lose customers. Some of the specials seem more generous in their serving sizes, it makes it slightly difficult to judge how many to order. Would still recommend though.

There’s very few places we’ve been in the last 4 months that have made us genuinely feel welcome and have been so accommodating. They opened the door for us, offered to turn the music down, interacted with her.

Abergavenny should be grateful and proud to have a place like Tapas Twist. Having travelled a lot, I can claim to have a reasonable knowledge of tapas, meze, sushi, etc. The dishes here are excellent: good products, prepared with knowledge and respect. I have very exigent and knowledgeable Spanish friends who would approve the quality of the tapas served here. Wines are good, reasonably priced and the service welcoming, efficient and helpful. We had a splendid time and were very happy with the bill.

Firstly the restaurant looked more like a cafe. Some Spanish / Italian decoration would brighten the place up a bit.

Me and two friends came here for my birthday meal and it did not disappoint! A great range of options including vegetarian options and gluten free options (one of my friends is celiac). Everything tasted amazing! Also friendly staff too which didn't mind us adding on food to our order. Everything comes out once its ready so if you like everything to come out in one go this may not be the place for you but I'd highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Another great meal in a gem of a restaurant. The food is always so delicious and the menu offers a great variety and encourages you to try something different. Cod in corn sauce, fresh anchovies, fabada, sweet potato fries, beetroot salad with goats cheese, Padron peppers.... and the staff are so lovely. Despite being so very busy, the service is warm & friendly. Great aperitifs (try the lemon sherbet fizz) & excellent wines at good prices. We always leave looking forward to our next meal there.

Super place with some of the best tapas I've tasted outside Spain. The patatas bravas could have done with a bit longer under the grill and the waitress was a bit short on social skills. Other than these minor issues, this place is excellent.

We’ve been meaning to try this little Spanish restaurant in Abergavenny for a little while. Finally I had some time off work and as we’d missed our Spanish trip earlier this year, due to a disagreement with a ladder...we thought let’s try Spain without the travel! We weren’t disappointed. The lunchtime special offers 3 dishes for a very reasonable £12 and there’s loads to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the cod in an amazingly tasty sauce and the calamari. My husband hit the Manchego cheese with quince jam and some Iberian ham. Desserts were great too...I’m going back for churros! So if you’re in Abergavenny, don’t miss this delightful eaterie. Oh and the service was impeccable.

We called in here today and were blown away with how nice everything was. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was delicious. We had mini burgers with chorizo, patatas bravas, garlic mushrooms, fried aubergines and ham croquettas. I cant pick a favourite as they were all delicious and piping hot. The bill came to £27.50 and included 2 fentenmans lemonades which we though was great value as we came away full and looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended

The food is always good. When it was first set up it was shocking but now it is class. The only downside is the staff. They are rude and impatient. I had a delivery and a dominos worker rang me and was shouting at me that the driver was outside my house, why wasnt I there, over and over again. the driver was at the wrong house and I was standing in my porch, not even able to see them. the delivery drivers are lovely, cannot say a bad word about them but the fact the worker shouted at me down the phone that I was ignoring the delivery driver is a put off. if the food was not excellent I would 100% slate this place but its a good meal
