Further Information
Shaw Centre on Scotts Road is hiding a little treat from Spanish food lovers. You won’t stroll in off the street like you’d come across a rickety bar in Catalonia, but everything else about La Tapería in Orchard lines up with the experience you could expect from Barcelona’s celebrated eateries. Of course there is wine – plenty of it, from fine vintages to fresh sangria – to keep the conversation flowing in La Tapería’s elegant dining area or sunny outdoor balcony. The decor is trendy but traditional, adorned with paintings of Spanish dancers and moody lighting, but of course – as with any decent tapas bar in Singapore – the proof of the paella is in the eating.
Ay, caramba! The food really kicks La Tapería up into the pantheon of Singapore tapas joints. This should come as no surprise, given La Tapería is the brainchild of the award-winning Les Amis Group, so you can be sure that the Spanish croquetas and crispy calamari nibbled between friends here are the tastiest bar plates in Orchard. The main menu or brilliant 3-course set lunch then put on a real show. From gazpacho to blood sausage, ham and melon to seafood and saffron paella – not to mention the most addictive churros around – La Tapería has made Scotts Road the place to head to experience Spanish cuisine at its best.

It is always a pleasure to dine in La Taperia. The food is good. Recommend the squid ink calamari and wagyu steak. Service is excellent too.
Well executed dishes that highlight the simplicity, harmony and freshness of ingredients. The churros are one of best in Singapore, imho. So are the Lamb ribs. I wish they bring back the manchego cigar wrap to menu (manchego cheese with Iberia ham rolled with crispy filo pastry).
Nice food and experience is second to none. We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and gave simple instructions for the cake to be served with candle. They follow without prompt and even sang a birthday song. Would suggest to anyone looking for delectable Spanish food with great ambience. Their set lunch is very worth the price.
1st time visiting here due to credit card promotion, was such a pleasant surprise, great food plus great service, even the set menu has high quality 😋😋👍🏻👍🏻
I had an excellent lunch recently with a friend at La Taperia. We picked four items from the la carte menu as we wanted only tapas for lunch. We ordered a tomato salad ( lovely), seafood croquette ( so so I feel) , squid coated in crispy squid ink infused batter ( interesting and quite delicious), sizzling prawns ( very large sized prawns and fairly fresh), all eaten with some toasted bread. The portions were a big too much for the two of us but the dishes were fairly well done. I am impressed with the fact that they paced each dish so that the next dish is served only when we are done with the prior dish. We were well taken care of by a very helpful gentleman ( probably the manager) and his service staff. A very pleasant lunch indeed!
Astounding and warm service. The meal started perfectly when we walked in and the table with 2 baby high chairs were already prepared and in the small alcove. For the rest of the meal, or main server was warm, friendly and very jovial. The food? Top notch. The crustal bread was a little soggy compared to our last visit, but refreshing and an excellent opener. The calamari and the rockfish fritters were yummy crunchy saltiness. The braised beef amazing as usual. The only disappointment was the roast pork, which was quite dry and very porky. Save space for dessert. The chocolate mousse (I forget the name) and the catalan pudding were to die for. Reasonably priced for awesome food, a convivial atmosphere and wonderful service makes this a great place for a weekend family meal or a quiet lunch for 2, both of which I had here. Make a reservation!
The meal was excellent and the service as well. We were only two people so ordered only one hot Tapas that was quite delicious - squid in jambon. Main course was seafood Paella and my companion had a fish stew. Both were very tasty. We started off with two cocktails - they were ok but nothing special. The bloody mary was a bit under spiced for my taste. With the meal had two glasses of 'house' white wine, which was also good. Dessert was some kind of mango brulee and delicious. Altogether, a very pleasant dining experience and for all we ate and drank not too pricey.
The staff especially the owner cared for you as if you were a friend, regularly checking to see if we needed anything but not infrequent enough not to be annoying. Our water was refilled promptly and unobtrusively. The service was exemplary! The food came quickly, and they were delicious! Our two kids enjoyed the meals as did we. The dishes were a perfect balance of complementary tastes and textures. The portion sizes were just right. We ordered 3 tapas, 2 main dishes and 3 desserts for 2 adults and 2 kids. Will come back again to try out the other items on the menu.
The food was good, well-priced, arrived promptly. The service was attentive, careful, friendly. Portion size was good for 1 or 2. Will definitely go again, and will try out the lunch specials which seem like a terrific value-for-money! We were a bit unlucky though. A large group sat in the "private" area next to us, but as it didn't have walls, we were overwhelmed by the noisy merrymaking which gradually became louder as the effects of alcohol settled in. Without that large group, the atmosphere would've been quiet, cozy and intimate enough for me and my wife.
My husband and I love Tapas and this was not just delicious, it was cozy and the staff was attentive. Best Froie Gras in a Tapa ever. It should be their signature dish. We enjoyed our romantic evening with a Spanish accent thanks to La Taperia!
