Plaka – Eastgate
This is definitely one of my favourite spots when I am looking for some great Greek food! They have a delicious selection of tapas for you to choose from, which goes along just perfectly with their delicious selection of dips to add a little more zest! My absolute favourite are the keftethes (homemade meatballs) and the calamari stuffed with feta and peppers! Find more information here.La Boqueria – Parktown North
For a celebration of all things Hispanic, visit La Boqueria. Their tapas menu includes artichoke and fennel croquettas, lamb empanada, braised short rib and wood-fired goats cheese with tomato salsa and green olive pesto. Pair this with a sustainably farmed, rare wine. All the wines are categorised according to their personality. You can have fun choosing between "solid, hearty, generous" or "fruit-laden, floral, sunny." It's a charming touch — ideal for the wine connoisseur and newbie alike. The decor is intricately artistic. Step into this world and be lost in food and beauty. Find more information here.Thava Indian Restaurant – Norwood
I have been to this spot a number of times over the years, and all I can say is that I cannot get enough! They have a great selection of curries that come in nice little pots, perfect for sharing if you what to have a bit of variety among your table.They are also known for their Northern India inspired, tapas-style dining. I definitely love the lamb khorma! Find more information here. [caption id="attachment_116221" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Food photo created by freepik - www.freepik.com[/caption]
The Grazing Room At DW13 Eleven – Dunkeld West
For some fine dining, DW 13 Eleven is the place to be for delights that will tantalise your taste buds. But, if you are looking for something to snack on or want something to share among the group, be sure to head to their Grazing Room and take a look at their selection of tapas. Their Italian spring rolls have my mouth watering and I love the sound of the smoked mozzarella, parma ham and rocket with a white cream sauce! Yum!

Step into an atmosphere of retro music, dark wood, marble and barefaced brick. This is a restaurant and tapas bar devoted to food as a space for the community.
