If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about sun-soaked Spanish squares, sipping sangria in the shade of an ancient olive tree, then La Taberna in Leeds might be your new favourite place. Situated in the heart of Leeds, La Taberna brings all the vibrant, flavour-packed magic of Spain straight to your plate – and with just a bit of Yorkshire charm sprinkled on top. From tapas that will make your tastebuds tango to an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of a fiesta, La Taberna offers the kind of experience that makes you wish you could skip the airport queues and just stay forever.
The Atmosphere: A Taste of Spain in Leeds
La Taberna, Leeds, doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it does nail that warm, welcoming Spanish vibe we all crave when it comes to a relaxed evening out. Picture this: rustic wooden tables, exposed brick walls, and a little bit of Spanish flair in every corner. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, share a few tapas with mates, and pretend you’re on holiday – even if it’s a grey, rainy Tuesday in Leeds.
With friendly staff who’ll make sure your glass is always full and the music softly setting the mood (we’re talking a little flamenco, a dash of guitar), La Taberna really does manage to transport you to another place, even if just for the evening. Whether you’re there for a casual midweek meal or a special night out, the atmosphere has a relaxed, yet festive, charm that makes it perfect for any occasion.
The Food: Tapas, Paella, and Spanish Delights
Now, onto the really important bit – the food. If you haven’t yet experienced the joy of Spanish tapas, La Taberna is the perfect place to start. The menu is full of all the little flavour bombs you’d expect – think golden, crispy croquetas, chorizo sizzling in its own little pan, and padron peppers that might just surprise you with their heat. And we’d be remiss not to mention the classics, like
patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce),
pimientos de padron (those delightfully unpredictable peppers), and the mouthwatering
tortilla española (Spanish omelette). These dishes are meant for sharing, though we won’t judge if you don’t feel like passing them around – they’re that good.
But, if you’re feeling particularly hungry (or fancy taking a bigger bite out of Spain), La Taberna’s paella is a standout dish. Whether you’re all about seafood or prefer the meaty delights of chicken and chorizo, the paella here is everything you want in a big, hearty, flavour-packed dish. It’s rich, comforting, and packed with all the right spices – and don’t even get us started on that golden, crispy bit at the bottom of the pan. Absolute perfection.
And let’s not forget the sangria. If you’re going to eat Spanish food, you may as well pair it with the drink of the gods. La Taberna serves up a sangria that’s not just delicious but also dangerously drinkable. Trust us – one glass might turn into three before you realise it.
