It shocks me that I spent a great portion of my adult life not knowing what tapas are. To think of all the evenings I could have whiled away chatting with friends, drinking cocktails, and snacking on a variety of tasty treats. Luckily, I know and understand now and I also know about Tapasbaren.
For those of you that are in the same sad state I was in, tapas are a Spanish delight comprise of a variety of small savory dishes generally served at a bar. They are perfect for catching up with friends, a date night, when you can’t seem to choose just one dish, or any other occasion really.
In Göteborg, Tapasbaren is the best place for this treat. The bar is comfortable and warmly lit. Staff here treats each guest like an old friend and welcome all with warm smiles and friendly conversation. Best of all, they are open late so you can drop in after work and talk away the night with your closest friends, all while snacking away on fantastic food.
On the menu they offer all of the classic treats you search for when ordering tapas. They even have some imaginative plates you won’t see on the standard tapas menu, setting them apart once again from all the competition. The papas fritas are too good for words and meat and cheese plates make perfect pairings for almost any wine you can find on the menu.
While we are talking about wine, it is worth noting they have some of the best selection in the city.
