La Tasca (Docklands)

The idea of Tapas sits extremely well with me - the cost less so. As such, La Tasca's recent offers have gone down extremely smoothly. The concept of Tapas, of course, entails the selection of a number of small dishes, either hot or cold, traditionally eaten alongside a succession of drinks, but now - at least in the version imported to England - considered more of a meal in their own right. An informal, sociable way to eat, it is for a glutton like myself who agonises endlessly over equally wonderful-sounding options on a menu, a godsend! With seventy restaurants across Britain, La Tasca is a frequent sight in our towns and cities. The venues share an ...  Read the complete review

La Tasca - A nationwide chain of Spanish tapas restaurants, La Tasca can be found in most towns and in most areas of London, they have a website, www.latasca.co.uk which lists all branches, my favourite is in Covent Garden, London.

There is a good choice of desserts and the ...  Read the complete review

Bristol's new branch of La Tasca is on the top level of the spanking new Glass House at Cabot Circus. Two of us had travelled by train and took about twenty minutes to walk from Temple Meads to Cabot Circus. My younger son lives in Bristol and had been able to get a bus right to the shopping centre. On the ground floor of the Glass House a well-informed lady was giving out maps of the centre and answering visitors' questions, so I took a map. One of my sons went bounding up the staircase but I quickly called him back, as I had spotted an escalator that my knees would find much easier. Later, when we were coming back down, we saw that there was a lift which would ...  Read the complete review

One Restaurant Chain that appears to be growing rapidly in the UK and America at the moment is ‘La Tasca’ - an essentially Spanish Bar and Restaurant. They are indeed now established as the UK's premiere Spanish Restaurant, and there are now quite a few ‘La Tascas’ operating all around the world.

Since then this distinctive style of Restaurant seems to have successfully opened throughout the UK virtually everywhere and the company has built a 41-strong restaurant empire, recently completing a £1m move into the US market, and now ...  Read the complete review
