About Ambiente Tapas Hull

Ambiente Tapas Hull is a tapas restaurant in Hull, set in a former fruit and veg warehouse in the Fruit Market on Humber St. The menu runs to over 30 hot tapas dishes, some cooked in a Spanish Josper oven, and it changes regularly with seasonal dishes. Dátiles con Queso, dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon, sit on the menu alongside patatas bravas and gambas. The kitchen cooks each tapas dish fresh and sends it out as it is ready, so plates arrive at different times. The drinks list includes sherry and wine, and the team explains how tapas ordering works to first-time visitors. Dogs are welcome. Payment is by card only.

Customer Review Summary

Dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon are the dish reviewers raise most, described as decadent and worth ordering in several portions. Close behind are the gambas and patatas bravas, with the chorizo and patatas, the baked feta, and the pan-fried green beans with sun-dried tomato and pine nuts also singled out. Dessert earns its own praise, from a burnt Basque cheesecake to churros with warm chocolate sauce, and one diner enjoyed the Flor De Rosa cocktail while another praised the sherry and wine selection. Reviewers describe fresh food, generous portions, and friendly, welcoming staff. The main complaint comes from a single visit where chicken was sent back and returned darker, the mushrooms were watery, and the calamari batter was soggy and undercooked, which left the meal below par for the price. Several first-timers add that staff patiently explained how tapas ordering works, with dishes coming out as each is cooked.

    “Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Ambiente Tapas was perfect in every way and genuinely one of those meals where you leave thinking, we need to come back here! The food was outstanding — every dish was packed with flavour, beautifully cooked and clearly made with care. Everything we had was delicious, but the burnt Basque cheesecake deserves a special mention. Honestly, it was sensational. Probably one of the best desserts I’ve had in a very long time! And the staff were absolutely top notch. Friendly, attentive and made us feel really welcome without being overbearing. Megan in particular was fantastic and really added to the whole experience. Great food, great atmosphere, fantastic service and absolutely nothing to fault. We loved it and will definitely be back next time we visit Hull. Highly recommended! ❤️”

    “Wonderful all around. This was our first visit to Hull and we didnt prepare, we just set off walking and stopped here. It was extremely welcoming from the moment we walked in. The lady looking after our table was amazing, explained how everything worked and gave us a little time to order. They cook the food fresh and it comes out when ready rather than all together which we enjoyed. The quality of the food was honestly fantastic, the flavours where incredible and portion sizes where great. Very good value for money, overall it was fab.”

    “To make it easy for you – just go! 😍 I've been meaning to leave a review for months because every single time I visit, the food is nothing short of incredible. Everything is fresh, vibrant, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The flavours are consistently amazing, the food arrives in good time, and the service is always exceptional. A special mention to Lucy, Evie, Morgan and Chef Bassist, who really made my evening last week. As it's tapas, the dishes often arrive in stages, but on this occasion everything came out together, which meant I finally managed to get the perfect photo to show just how incredible the food is! One of my absolute favourite dishes has to be the Dátiles con Queso (dates stuffed with Picos Blue cheese and wrapped in streaky bacon) – I could happily order several portions just for myself! 😍 I also absolutely love the Secreto Ibérico, and the Judías Verdes (pan-fried green beans with sun-dried tomato and pine nuts) is a MUST, every time. On this occasion, the seasonal dessert of fresh berries, Chantilly cream and homemade meringue was the perfect light, sweet treat to finish the meal. The menu changes regularly, so there's always something new to try, and the staff are fantastic at recommending both food and drink to suit your tastes. 🤩 Everyone is always welcoming, smiling and happy to help. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I've visited too many times to count, and I know I'll keep coming back. Without a doubt, one of the very best places to eat in Hull. Highly recommended!”

    “Sorry to say wont be back, good was below par for the price, my mother in law wasnt happy with pink water chicken so she sent it back, came back black. Mushrooms full of water as i would expect from frozen and calamari batter soggy and undercooked ... see photo...have been a few times and usually really nice ... today did not meet expectations at all. Potato's bravas was nice apart from a couple of discoloured potato chunks.”

Highlights

“Our Hull site is nestled in the heart of the Fruit Market in a former fruit and veg warehouse. Whilst the exterior retains a touch of the building’s past, the interior has been transformed into a contemporary, vibrant and energetic space. With a menu of over 30 hot tapas dishes (some cooked in our Spanish Josper oven!) there's so much to choose from it warrants multiple visits. The same applies to our drinks list which is perfect for working your way through in our bar area. For those summer days, our outdoor seating area overlooking the marina will whisk you away to the Mediterranean.”
