Tapas Bar — Restaurant in Kowloon

We recently visited the Tapas Bar on the ground floor of the Shangri-La hotel in TST East and had a pretty good meal. Opening hours are presently 3-10pm (weekdays) and 1-10pm (weekends). They have a fair sized indoor seating as well as outdoor seating for those who prefer.

Menu features a ranges fo small (tapas style) plates as well as a few traditional Spanish main dishes. They have a good range of cocktails, wine, beer and spirits as well. Service is friendly and orders are delivered in a timely manner.

We found the food and drinks to be pretty good during our visit. The Tuna Tataki was the least enjoyed dish on the night. The dish was too busy with ingredients and flavours. The tuna will very soft and topped a large mashed avocado. It was covered with a very citrusy sauce that masked the natural tuna flavour. While not bad, we'd skip this order and try something different next time.

The Catalan style coca (small Spanish style pizza) was decent. The Serrano ham was salty enough and gave nice flavour. Not an outstanding serving but a safe choice for those less familiar with Spanish cuisine and unsure what to order.

We also tried the Spanish Manchego w/ Rosemary that was pretty good. The Manchego had a higher sourness than we are used to, tasted pretty good with the rosemary topping. This was worth ordering again.

We quite liked their Pulpo a La Gallega. The grilled octopus was on the soft side, less chewy and gummy than orders can be at Spanish restaurants around the city. Dish came with chorizo that was just the right amount of spicy and very flavourful. Potatoes balanced the dish well. This was the best dish tried on the evening.

Overall, we weren't in love with any of the foods tried. They lacked the wow impact of some of the better Tapas bars on Hong Kong Island. Yet, I can't think of a place in the TST that offers a better Spanish meal experience. As such, if you are on this side of the harbour and in the mood, this is a good option for a casual tapas experience with friends or...
