About Tapaz Restaurant & Bar

Tapaz Restaurant & Bar is a tapas restaurant at 33 Bradshawgate in Bolton, where an afternoon special pairs 3 tapas with a dessert. The menu is built around small plates, with garlic prawns (langostinos al ajillo) among them, and the Paella de la casa brings seafood and meat together in one larger dish. Crème brûlée sits on the dessert list, and cocktails are served alongside the food. Dogs are welcome, which makes the afternoon special an option for anyone visiting with a pet. Reservations are required.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often return to the paella, especially the house paella, which one reviewer called the best they had ever eaten and another praised for its big portion. Close behind are the tapas plates reviewers list, including garlic prawns, calamari, lamb kebabs, ribs, chorizo and a white fish fry, plus the crème brûlée and tiramisu for dessert. Service comes up repeatedly as friendly, with one waitress sending out an extra with a dessert. Several mention a weekday lunch deal and an afternoon tapas special as good value, and one notes the weekend bill reached nearly 80 for a few dishes and a drink each. Reviewers raise few complaints. One found the white fish a little salty and the garlic sauce mild, and another wanted less sauce on the dessert. One says the place is always fully booked and suggests booking in advance, though another visited on a Sunday afternoon when only two tables were taken. One describes a single chef and a single waiter turning out hot dishes made to order.

    “Came in for lunch on a Saturday with a promise from the website of being an 'unforgettable' experience and wow, what a restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was lovely. Can't recommend this place high enough, and the 12-2pm Lunch Deal represents fantastic value considering the quality of the food. Definitely would visit again and you should as well. Order everything.”

    “It was my first time in Bolton and I wasn’t searching for a special place for food - I accidentally found one!!! This place is exceptional, an absolute pleasure from the start. Very friendly service, lovely atmosphere and music, and all my best words go to the most wonderful food, too! Super fresh, high quality dishes, lovely decorated and, of course, extremely tasty! The paella was the best I’ve ever had. And after I’ve finished it I received an amazing crème brûlée with a bonus on its side, thanks to one of the waitresses! Even the berries were home made subtle compote, not just a cheap sugar sauce. Very pleased I was so lucky to pop in, and feel sad leaving Bolton, as I’m going to miss my paella (the House paella, it’s fantastic)! Missing the whole place already ❤️”

    “This Tapas restaurant offers an excellent culinary experience. The food was succulent and presented a remarkable variety of options. Regarding the dessert, a reduction in the amount of sauce would be beneficial. I highly recommend this establishment.”
