Amazing Tapas, Great Variety

With brilliant neon lights and 2 stylish "semi- outdoor" opened bar tables on both sides of the entrance, the Tapa Room is so captivating on Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay.

Located on Ground floor of the Gloucester Hotel, this tapas bar restaurant is chic with neon arts on the brick wall, high chaired tables, and special lighting decor.

Impressed with the  a joyful and vibrant atmosphere, my colleague and I took the seats near the bar table to have a closer view of the bar tender's work.

As the name goes, there is a great variety of tapas including 10 cold and 11 hot items.

We ordered 4 Tapas, 1 main dish and 2 drinks.

Gin Tonic - Tanqueray HH $ 75

Mixed with mashed strawberries and well garnished with red current and rosemary, the Gin Tonic - Tanqueray named romantically "Before Sunset" is so fruity and mellow.!

Virgin Sangria Glass $ 48
As a popular Spanish drink, the Sangria has a special non-alcoholic version named "Virgin Sangria" . With lots of tiny cubes of fresh fruits floating at the top, this drink has a refreshing light sweetness. Very appetizing !

Blood Orange & Beef Salad (血橙燒牛柳沙律) $ 58 ~
Tender and juicy beef, fresh blood oranges, lettuce and purple broccoli, it's a good mix bringing an energizing citrusy palate to the rich meaty flavour. 

The topping of sesame and crisp flakes enriches the variety of tastes and texture.

Cold Cut Platter, Jamon Manchego Cheese with Mulled Pear (凍切拼盤- 西班牙火腿、曼徹檳芝士 、紅酒燴梨) $ 88~
Nicely served on a round wooden board, the platter of ham, pear, cheese and olive is pleasing on palates.  Tender Parma ham with buttery flavour goes perfectly well with the pleasantly sweet aromatic mulled pear. Popular in Spain, the Jamon Manchego Cheese is rich in it's creaminess and flavour that lingers on the tongue.

Clams in Lemon Wine Sauce  (檸汁白酒煮大蜆) $ 98~

Well braised in wine sauce, the clams are so delicious with an aroma and a fresh and appetizing lemon taste.

Crispy Tomato bread with Archovy, Aioli (番茄脆包、醃白銀魚、蒜蓉蛋黃醬) $48 

Directly expressed from Spain, the bread is crispy with a lively fresh tomato taste. The white anchovy is fine and smooth with rich fishy flavour, so mouthwatering to go with garlic aioli !

Grilled Red Prawns, Barcelona Style  ( 巴塞隆拿式烤紅蝦 $) 88~
Not only are the flavourful shrimp pastes in the heads most appealing, but the flesh is juicy and bouncy as well. Topped with parsley and goldenly grilled with garlic and olive oil, the red prawns are really savoury.

Iberico Pork Chop in Sherry Vinegar Gravy (西班牙黑毛豬鞍架伴些利醋燒汁)  $158 ~
The The Iberico pork chop is meaty, so succulent with buttery flavour. Served in the sour sweet Sherry Vinegar, the great taste is further uplifted with herbs and spicy cumin power.

Tapas are amazing Spanish small plates of food that are great to pair with sangria or cocktails, not only good for chitchatting happy hours, but are nice pre-main courses appetizers as well. With a long tapas menu here , you can satisfy several wishes in one dinner.
