LA TAPERÍA
Opened in October 2014, this Spanish concept on the 2nd storey of Shaw Centre offers a holistic dining experience with traditional Spanish food, affordable drinks and late opening hours. It boasts the largest Spanish wine collection in any local restaurant, on top of a plethora of Glendronach single cask whiskies aged in the best Spanish Oloroso casks.
Its curved windows and hand-painted terracotta tiles framing turn-of-the-century posters recreate a bona-fide Spanish home. Spirited Spanish tunes enliven the palette of moody browns and mossy greens while clusters of exuberant lamps hand-made by Eperara-Siapidara weavers in Colombia perched above the tables add a dim glow.
The warm dining space can accommodate up to 58 people, boasting a quaint outdoor balcony where you can enjoy late-night tapas over a good drink. The private dining table and bar-counter accommodates 8 and 6 guests, while the semi-open kitchen area has room for another 24 people. This area gives guests an intimate peek at the food preparation process behind textured matte swivel windows.
