Tapea

Located in St Julian’s, Tapea brings Spanish gastronomic tradition to Malta with a relaxed, sociable approach to dining. The restaurant combines contemporary style with a warm welcome, while its open kitchen lets guests watch the team at work. A new terrace offers an inviting spot for alfresco dining on warm evenings. Tapea’s philosophy centres on respect for Spanish culinary heritage and quality ingredients. Its Restaurants from Spain certification recognises its commitment to serving authentic Spanish cuisine beyond the Iberian Peninsula.

The menu is made for sharing, encouraging diners to order a selection of plates and enjoy them together as the evening unfolds. Begin with classic croquettes, or explore Spanish favourites such as tortilla, gazpacho and spider crab brioche. For something more substantial, the boneless T-bone is a tempting choice to share. The menu brings traditional flavours together with careful presentation, offering a taste of Spain. Ask the team for recommendations when choosing dishes for the table, especially when dining with a group.  To finish the meal, save room for Tapea’s famous cheesecake. A considered selection of Spanish wines complements the food, while cocktails provide another option for a leisurely evening. Whether you stop by for a glass and a few tapas or settle in for a long dinner with friends, Tapea celebrates the Spanish pleasure of eating well together, with good food, conversation and an easy-going atmosphere.
