Tapa Bucho

The tapas and pinchos served at this fashionable Spanish-style eatery are among the most flavoursome in the city, and are prepared with genuine southern European flair. Many of the recipes hail from northern Spain where the pinchos - selections of tasty ingredients spiked with a skewer, often to a piece of bread - are a traditional snack: cured ham (presunto), soft cheeses and grilled seafood are favourite morsels. Tapa Bucho is also known for its fist-sized burgers and quiche slices, plus some outstanding prawn creations. The kitchen also serves its own wines, and the labels make quirky souvenirs in a kind of "I bought the tee-shirt" kind of way. Be warned, though. This place gets packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Arrive early!
