Taperia Deptford - Lewisham

There's no point in making the journey to this restaurant as it has shut down. It is currently being leased out again, so hopefully a new restaurant will take its place soon. But for now, there is nothing here.

With the other branch of this small chain of tapas restaurants, 'temporarily closed ' we thought we would give this one a try. Quite different to the one we were used to, all the dishes were a pleasant surprise. Tops was probably the patatas bravas, freshly cooked, hot crisp and very tasty with fine dip in sauce. The tortilla was a bit meagre but extremely good as was the marinated chicken. Wan 't sure about the ham croquettes but the meatballs were excellent. Nicely designed eatery with busy atmosphere despite the odd location as part of a new housing development, off Blackheath Hill in Deptford and we will be back. Particularly impressed by the fact we were allowed to pour our own wine, the waitress simply opened it for us and also that at the end we were given complimentary drinks and ice cream. Always welcome and a nice touch to round off our first visit. Thank you.

Exploring our local area we tried this tapas place on a Saturday night and were left feeling really underwhelmed and regretting our decision to eat there.Perhaps we should have read the warning signs when we were told the selection of Ibericos and cheeses was some ham, some sausage and cheddar . It wasn 't cheddar (as we suspected), but it was not just the one cheese and no bread was provided. It would not be too hard to replicate this fare from the Tesco a minute 's walk away.The aubergine dish we went for had the most thinly sliced aubergine you could imagine, covered in a thick batter which was the only taste. This was the low point.The only saving grace was the patatas bravas which were well done. We may have made some poor decisions with our menu choices but sadly we won 't be coming back.

We have been going to Taperia for the last 6 months and there is loads that needs doing to improve it. They have recently brought in 'bar food ' to expand on Spanish only food, however the fish and chips we had we suspect was from Iceland, not unlike our friends at Green Village Restaurant in Greenwich served us! Truly disgraceful, as the dish is served no respect. For more info on Green Village Restaurant, look them up on here! Avoid!Come on Taperia, open earlier, serve coffee in the morning to the residents of deals, basically sort it out or closure BECKONS. Personally, if it weren 't for my wife liking the margaritas there, I 'd never go, and I live in the complex!

Small tapas place just off the side of the dlr, tucked out of sight, lovely decor and the music was just perfect. Friendly waitress and pleasant atmosphere. We used our tastecard and got a good deal. 241! We enjoyed a beer and a non alcoholic cocktail with 6 plates of tapas. We enjoyed every mouthful. Would recommend it and go again. :
