Bar Tapa

Bar Tapa Darlinghurst describes itself as ‘unapologetically Spanish’, and it is just that. Situated on Stanley Street, this Sydney hotspot brings the Spanish sunshine to the suburb, that’s for sure! The perfect lunch spot, Bar Tapa serve up bocadillos with filling combinations such as fried calamari and garlic mayonnaise; chargrilled vegetables with romesco sauce or pork loin with fried peppers, manchego and tomato. With the obligatory patatas bravas on the side, naturally. When the sun goes down you can expect to find a whole host of tapas, cheeses, cured meats and more served alongside plenty of wine or hefty jugs of sangria.

When we say Sydney foodies are lucky to have this Darlinghurst beauty, we’re really not lying... So let’s take a closer look at Bar Tapa on Stanley Streer’s Spanish menu.
