Top 5 Tapas at the Market

Published 18 January 2023

For a sensational sangria try La Central Deli on Coventry Street and Centre Aisle

Spend a lazy afternoon tasting tapas and icy cold cocktails at the Market.

Summer is the perfect time to catch up with friends for a cool beverage and delicious tapas on a lazy sunny afternoon. We've put together our Top 5 favourite places at the Market where you can have a pre-dinner spritz and some delectable bites.

Bambu

Hawker-style Asian street food washed down with a Lychee Martini, Yuzu Spritz or a Passionfruit Mojito is perfect for a tête-à-tête. Sample their fluffy Gua Baos filled with pork belly, fried chicken or soft-shell crab before or dive into their range of dumplings. 

Claypots Evening Star

Grab a stool and enjoy the aroma of freshly cooked seafood while you listen to live music and sip on a prosecco, a cold beer or a wine from their extensive list. Small plates include Coffin Bay Oysters, Mussels with sambal ginger or Crab with Tamarind and Ginger.

Bambu on Cecil Street have great cocktails and dumplings.

La Central 

Settle on their sunlit terrace on Coventry – best enjoyed at the golden hour alongside some delectable House Olives, Galician Octopus, Tabla Mixta (a combination of cured meats and cheeses) paired with a refreshing glass of Yzaguirre vermouth, Cava or Lolailo red Sangría on hand.

Simply Spanish

Sit back, relax and enjoy some delightful tapas while watching the foot traffic on Cecil Street. We recommend the Fried Goats Cheese, Patatas Bravas or Croquetas of the day with a glass of white wine or try the sizzling garlic prawns and pan-seared chorizo with homemade sangria. 

For the most morish sweet potato fries and cocktails try Smithburg on Cecil.

Smithburg

Summer Spritzs, spicy Margarita's and Espresso Martinis are three of our favourite cocktails at this gourmet burger restaurant. Snacks to nibble on we like the best are Popcorn Cauliflower, crispy Corn Ribs and Disco Fries or Sweet Potato fries.

Claypots Evening Star has indoor and outdoor tables.
