Tempranillo

This is a tapas restaurant, tucked away in a side street halfway up the hill from Macclesfield train station. I think that it's a wonderful place to eat and share food with people... but I noticed that those with me neither shared their plates nor would try anything that I couldn't finish from my selection. I wonder if that's a post-covid thing that I'll have to get used to, but I thought that a tapas bar was about sharing. As per most tapas places, the food was amazing but prohibitively expensive. My fives plates and a drink came to £50, which was a bit of a shock. There's a relaxed atmosphere here, and it was the right sort of temperature to enjoy the food. Getting there might be a struggle for people as there is a gradient and cobbled roads to negotiate, so consider this if wearing slippery footwear or have mobility issues. All in all, a good recommendation for those who visit Macclesfield.

I recently had an outstanding dining experience at a Spanish tapas restaurant in Macclesfield. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to the vibrant streets of Spain. The warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. The menu offered an extensive selection of traditional Spanish tapas dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The small plates catered to all tastes, from meat lovers to vegetarians, ensuring there was something for everyone. The patatas bravas were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, accompanied by a delightful spicy tomato sauce. The gambas al ajillo, garlic-infused prawns, were cooked to perfection, with a succulent texture and a rich garlic flavour, but personally the star of the night was the goats cheese croquettes. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. They were happy to provide perfect recommendations and answer any questions, enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant's decor, with rustic elements and Spanish-inspired artwork, created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a romantic evening or a gathering with friends. This Spanish tapas restaurant in Macclesfield exceeded all my expectations. The exceptional quality of the small plates, the warm and attentive service, and the inviting atmosphere all contributed to a lovely dining experience. Whether you are a fan of Spanish cuisine or simply looking to explore new flavours, I highly recommend visiting this gem in Macclesfield.
