Fantastic service and great food, the white wine Sangria was a real surprise and very moorish. A must eat restaurant. All the dishes were tasty and authentic.

Visited this restaurant with my wife The venue was full obviously because it was august bank holiday weekend Would I go again being honest not sure Not because the food was bad it was really good I love tapas but the selection was Ltd that would be the only reason I may not return A wider selection for me please

Food was pretty excellent but the service, especially from the man who welcomed us on entry was bizarre. Abrupt and unfriendly. I guess they deal with a lot of tourists so can behave how they like but we won't return. They need to fund a way to match the good food with good service.

My son chose this restaurant as he loves tapas and the quality of the food did not disappoint. We ordered 3 dishes each and it was enough for us along with a couple of beers. I did feel that we were a bit rushed, the table which was quite small quickly filled with plates of food and I think I would have preferred a gentle trickle of food to savour. A bit more in keeping with Spanish tapas rather than it all appearing within minutes. That said the service was good.

A good spot in Windermere - popular so would recommend booking. Decent selection of wines and beers and a wide range of tapas. We opted for the meat meze which was good - needed some additional bread to accompany the heavily sauce based tapas. Service was ok given levels of business

The food was good, however disappointingly the service stopped once the food arrived at the table. The dishes all arrived very quickly. We enjoyed the chicken in white wine & albondigas. We weren’t asked if we wanted more drinks, desert or coffee. The 3/5 star review is due to this. I would have liked to have left a 3.5/5

We booked a table for 6pm for myself and my husband as we had read great reviews online for the restaurant and it did not disappoint. When we arrived the chef was talking to a neighbouring table and offering to modify some dishes to their taste which I thought was excellent service from our first impression. We were seated promptly and ordered drinks. The restaurant was steady with families dining showing us that there was food to suit all ages. We ordered the mixed meze to start and the pitta bread was lovely and warm with the hummus, tzatziki, olives and feta. To follow we had chicken wings, beef which melted in the mouth, chorizo in honey and almonds (which my husband thoroughly enjoyed), langoustines, potatoes bravas which were beautifully cooked and the aubergine with a cheesy sauce. All the food was hot and extremely tasty and we ate the lot! For dessert we shared the triple chocolate stack, again beautifully presented. This weekend in the Lakes is very important to us and has been made all the better by the fantastic food at Tapios, thank you so much.

Managed to reserve a table, it was October, first time lucky. My only complaint about Tapios is you have to ring after 4pm to book, there's no online reservation facility and it does get busy. Anyway, I'm over that now....I think. A couple of bottles of Garnacha Syrah at £19.95 and two Meze Plates at £11.20 was a very good start. Tapas is excellent and another 4 dishes and Patatas Bravas was ideal for 4 of us. Definitely be back next time we're in the area.

We do love a tapas restaurant and this gem is one of the best we've been to. Faultless from start to finish. They could only fit us in at 8.30pm and we wouldn't normally eat that late but Tapios came so highly recommended we booked the slot. Everything was simply perfect. Excellent service. Food sublime. Loved the Spanish wine that accompanied our delicious food. The restaurant itself is very romantic. Can't recommend Tapios enough.

Food is beautiful. Generous portions for the size and definitely recommend 2-3 plates each! Fresh, and super tasty. Meat is tender and not dry! Staff are lovely and welcoming and has a cosy atmosphere. One only thing to mention is if the booking system would be improved. We tried so many times/ways to book and ended up walking in for a booking and was told there was no tables past 6.45pm. then watched a table of 4 and 2 walk in around 7.30pm. Bit strange if the restaurant was full for bookings that don't seem to exist. Honestly, don't want the booking way to disservice that it's a very good restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic food and service! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, not a single part that I wouldn't recommend. Great Sangria too. We sat outside as a party of 4, turned up at 5pm when they opened to guarantee we'd get a spot, as they only have room outside for 5 tables of 2 (due to current Covid regs cannot sit indoors). So glad we did, was busy all evening but highly highly recommend a visit!

Our third night of four in Windermere was another success. The food was well flavoured and the atmosphere was fabulous. The food was perhaps not quite as refined as the two previous restaurants, but the atmosphere was a little more lively and exuberant. Of the dishes we had, thePatatas Bravas the Langostinos al Ajillo and the special which was Pan Fried Sea Bass were the most delicious. Another really enjoyable evening and once again service was excellent, no surprise as competition in Windermere and Bowness is clearly pretty stiff. Well done and thanks to the whole team.

4 of us visited here during a trip to the Lakes. I found the restaurant on TripAdvisor and am so glad I did. The food was delicious, the atmosphere fabulous and the staff great. My husband and I had the Meat Meze and it was superb. Our friends went for the normal variety. There wasn’t a dish we didn’t enjoy and very little was left on the plates - and that was just because we were full!!! Everything was very well organised and Covid secure. The restaurant was busy, which was great to see too. We would certainly all return here and have no qualms about recommending Tapios to anyone who enjoys good food. They even had a chalkboard with my name in Spanish! (I think that was just a coincidence! Joy in Spanish is Alegría”)

Parecería que Tapios ha estado abierto durante al menos 3 años y no sé cómo nos lo perdimos y, da la casualidad, nos perdimos.Reservé una semana antes y fueron 6. 30 u 8 pm. Cuando llegamos a las 6. 30 pm, estaba bastante lleno y había un ambiente acogedor a pesar de que la puerta estaba abierta para brindar aire fresco en estos tiempos de Covid.Servicio realmente eficiente, una Garnacha Syrah decente y unas tapas realmente sabrosas. Yo diría que las gambas filo fueron quizás la única decepción, no muchas gambas.Seguro que volveremos aquí el año que viene.

We had fish, hummus, meatballs,, halloumi, prawn platter, chicken the list goes on as we went back a few times and were not disappointed.

Después de tantas buenas críticas, estábamos muy emocionados por nuestra visita. El ambiente era bastante agradable, pero desafortunadamente la comida y el vino fueron muy decepcionantes. Pedimos 6 platos de tapas (patatas bravas, chorizo, langostinos, ensalada de tomate y feta, halloumi y champiñones) y desafortunadamente tenían un sabor muy extraño, no estaban bien cocidos o ambos. Por ejemplo, la salsa para las patatas bravas y el chorizo era increíblemente dulce y el chorizo sabía más a frambuesa. El vino tinto que pedimos estaba aguado y casi imbebible.

Reservamos Tapios después de leer las excelentes críticas y no nos decepcionó. Comida de calidad y para un restaurante de tapas, el tamaño de las porciones era grande, por lo que solo necesitábamos 5 tapas entre los dos. Todo vino a precios razonables y de calidad a buenos precios también. Fantástico servicio al cliente y sin prisas después de haber terminado nuestra comida dejándonos para terminar o vino y salvar el ambiente. Nos gustó tanto la experiencia en general que reservamos para una segunda noche, algo que nunca hacemos es comer dos veces en el mismo lugar. No tuvimos problemas para reservar una mesa en la que aparecimos en nuestros paseos diarios. Un gran restaurante y muy recomendable si lo tuyo son las tapas, el buen vino y el ambiente relajado.

We were shown to our table straight away.Waited approx 10-15mins for drinks order to be taken/arrive even though we were sat opposite the bar & could see our drinks on the bar.Ordered 6 dishes to share. 5 of which were perfect for sharing unfortunately the prawn and chorizo dish only had 3 prawns. When the waiter finally asked us if everything was ok with our meal as he cleared the plates I explained that there could have been an even number of prawns i.e 4 firstly as tapas is a sharing dish and secondly the price of £7.95. He went onto explain 150g of chorizo and 150g of prawns but didn’t apologise. When the bill arrived I was surprised at the price for a pint of San Miguel being £6.45 when pre-COVID 19 visited London and never paid over £6 in restaurants.Left feeling disappointed

Actually we’re lucky to find a free table on Saturday night. Probably pre-COVID times this place were able to accommodate more people as tables are nicely spread out making dining comfortable.Before ordering your food, I recommend ordering sangria. They have white, pink and red options. Everyone probably has their own preference, but I found red pleasing my taste buds the most. Don’t get me wrong - other two were nice as well.Depending on hunger level, you can order some starters - we had typical set of hummus, pita, salad, olives and yoghurt sauce. Nice set (with sangria obviously) to prepare your taste buds for what is about to follow.For main we had Chorizo con gambas, Langustinos al Ajillo and Meat meze. For two it was plenty (of course if you usually order two main courses in restaurant, this might not be enough). Chorizo together with king prawns are served in nice slightly spicy sauce, prawns in slightly peppery sauce and meat meze...well...that’s actually set of 4 tapas (meatballs, beef in tomato sauce, chicken in creamy mushroom sauce and oven baked potatoes).Long story short - I’ll be going back for more

We arrived at the restaurant relatively early on a Tuesday evening and it was pretty empty apart from a couple of tables which were fairly well spaced but when you took into account chairs being pulled out and sat in, you were quite close to the next table. The waiter initially tried to put us next to the first table but seeing this I asked if we could sit somewhere else. Dispute this he was very accommodating, maybe could see I was anxious with my young family, and seated us where I asked after checking his booking form. The restaurant is cosy but I felt safe and well spaced and all staff wore masks. The toilets were cramped but it was well signed that it was a one person facility and there were plenty of hand gel stops. Apart from some dippy customers, we felt safe going to the toilets which were very clean. The food was lovely although not the best tapas we’ve ever had, but all the same it was very nice and I would definitely recommend it. I always find tapas expensive however for a family of four with an alcoholic drink for each adult and a fizzy and fruit juice for the children £20 a head is pretty decent to be honest.

Booked a table over the phone in the morning for an evening reservation,no problem when arrived, escorted to an inside high table where we ordered drinks and waited for our table to be prepared. The staff followed the current covid regulations and the service was fine and the food even better. But towards the end of our meal an elderly gentleman walked into the restaurant and started moving tables and chairs about, picking up the spray sanitizer and cloth and walking amongst the customers with no mask and cleaning down. At first I thought it was just some randomer who was unhappy with waiting for a table but after 5 mins kind of guessed he may of been the owner,well I hope hope he was the owner. Normally this type of stuff I wouldn't have blinked at but in these testing times I thought it was a bit off.Fortunately we were all but done so we got our bill and left,the actions of this man certainly undermined the service that the staff had provided,the food which now became secondary was really really nice btw,so if you do go in hopefully lessons will have been learned and both the food and service will be as before he turned up.

Visited last year and enjoyed it, so booked again, well in advance with email confirmation. Arrived promptly to be told we didn’t have a reservation. Couldn’t evidence it on the evening as limited access to email but despite my assurances that I HAD booked, was informed I hadn’t and (even if I could prove the reservation) there was nothing they would do about it other than offer us a table which we would have to vacate in 45 minutes. Needless to say we declined. Found the email the following day and forwarded - see photo - but received no apology or even a response. Fortunately we didn’t go hungry as San Pietro has a cancellation and we enjoyed a fantastic meal there. Disappointing experience, mistakes happen but the attitude was poor and has been reinforced by the lack of acknowledgment of error. I suspect that they get so much passing trade that they couldn’t care less about repeat business. Would go back for the food but couldn’t trust with a reservation so won’t bother. Book at your own risk!

We were recommended to dine here by the owners of local Guest house, Glen Wynne and we were not disappointed. I had made a booking by telephone a couple of weeks previous so on arrival, we were seated at our reserved table in the window. We were served promptly by a friendly, attentive waitress who adhered to current COVID guidelines.The tapas we chose was second to none and could not be faulted.The portions were made with fresh ingredients and were generous. The jug of Sangria was very tasty and went down a treat.If you fancy a taste and ambiance of Spain, whilst in Windermere, a visit here is a must.

Loved our meal at Tapios. The food was delicious. I was impressed with their covid measures, unlike a lot of other places around Windermere. All staff wearing masks, social distancing, lots of hand gel and disinfecting tables. The staff were very friendly too. Best meal on our holiday!

Great little restaurant, serving delicious Spanish tapas. Every dish we had was amazing, washed down with a jug of sangria! Highly recommend this place. They were also taking lots of measures for Covid.

Tapios is your typical tapas bar but with good veggie options. We went in on day 2 and returned twice here. Due to lockdown/ restrictions everything was based on pre-bookings and not surprisingly most slots were going very quickly. The food was very good and the staff courteous. Only item I could get them to do better is probably the sauce for the patatas bravas.

Excellent find in Windermere! We were staying in Windermere for 3 nights and came to Tapios for the second and third nights of our stay we enjoyed it so much. The choice of tapas is amazing, with fabulous, authentic, Spanish dishes. The aubergine and lamb dishes were two of the most delicious I have ever had anywhere, including Spain! The food is very reasonably priced too. Even though the restaurant had very strict Covid-19 safeguarding measures in place, the atmoshphere was still buzzing and lively. The wine selection is impressive and the service professional and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food and drink in a lively atmosphere - booking is essential!

We ordered Hummus, vegetable moussaka and a Greek salad. The food was amazing. Our waitress (who was from Madrid) was terrific. Prices were very reasonable. Good ambiance.
