La Tasca is a 220 cover, Tapas style
restaurant in the Water Circus at Bluewater. This restaurant is part of
the La Tasca chain of Spanish restaurants in the UK.
The food is as good as any
similar restaurant I've been to in the UK and the price is competitive. If
you go at peak shopping times it will be busy, so if you don't want to
queue for a table pick your moment. We visited on a midweek lunchtime,
business was brisk, but we got seated and served quickly.
We specifically visited the
restaurant to try the Tapas, you can order as many or as few as you like
and it's a great way for a group of you to try a wide range of dishes. As
you'd expect, Spanish beer and wine as well as continental style bread are
on the menu.
The choice of Tapas is too
great to list here (about 30 dishes) but prices are in a range from £2 to
£4. We tried:
-
Fritura Mixta de Pescado £4.55
-
Brocheta de Pollo £3.85
-
Boquerones en Vinagre
£3.65
-
Patatas Bravas regular
£2.85 grande £3.65
-
Tortilla Española £3.45
-
Chorizo Frito al Vino
£3.85
-
Ensalada Mixta £3.65
-
Manu for kids: any two
tapas plus dessert and drink £3.95
The menu also contains; Paella
from £18 for two people, a range of Spanish wine from £10 per bottle and
most of the better known Spanish beers.
Lunch for two including drinks
and bread came to under £20. All in all a pleasant restaurant experience.
La Tasca is suited both for a quick snack or a more significant eating
adventure. We will be going back.
