Happy Tuesday from Tapa Tapa!
✨Located right outside the Excel Centre and Custom House station, our restaurant sits in a Victorian-era warehouse that was once designed for storing cargo from ships in the mid-19th century. 🧱 These buildings have kept the old robust brickwork, multi-floor layout, and direct link to railway and water transport that at the time were key for efficient cargo handling. 🚠
Come visit our cozy space! We are every day from 12 until 10 pm

A Love Letter to Barbacoa 🥩
Cheers to that sacred tradition of gathering around the grill, skewer in hand, letting the smoke do the talking. 🍢 And if you’re going to do it, you do it with Picanha: premium Argentinian beef, 🇦🇷 seared until the outside catches a little char and the inside stays gloriously, defiantly juicy.✨
We serve ours with a Mojo Verde from the Canary Islands 🌿 a vibrant green sauce of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil. It’s the kind of combination that makes you want to raise a glass of cerveza and toast to, well, everything.
To who made you food. To the fire. To the beef. To the sauce. To the fact that it’s finally warm enough to eat outside. Feliz Día del Trabajador.
Ingredients
Picanha beef · Fire · Mojo Verde · Fresh herbs · Garlic · Olive oil · A warm evening · Good company

🍷Tomorrow is Malbec day!🍇
Discover El Esteco ‘Altimus’ a blend from Salta, Argentina 🇦🇷
Salta is Argentina’s most northerly and highest wine region, vineyards here can sit at over 3,000 metres altitude, among the highest in the world! 🗺️
El Esteco is based in Cafayate, Salta’s famous wine valley. The extreme altitude means cooler temperatures and intense UV radiation, producing wines of great concentration with vibrant acidity.
This Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend draws on a Bordeaux’s classic structure, with Malbec providing the local Argentine character.
Come try it at Tapa Tapa :) te esperamos 🌞
