Best Tapas Bars In The Centre Of Sydney Near Me

"The best tapas in Sydney."

4worldlovers:
Inspired by the tapas culture of Spain, Bar Topa is the newest addition to ivy’s thriving dining precinct. Deriving its name from the Spanish ‘topar’, meaning ‘to come across’ or ‘run into’, this tapas and pintxos bar is just the place to share a quick bite on a whim or before a show.

Dishes draw upon the flavours of the Mediterranean coast and include small snacks along with tapas cooked on ‘la plancha’.

Drop in and share a special bottle of wine, or sample some sangria on tap, as you graze the menu of sliced jamon, whipped salted cod and patatas bravas.

"... laugh normally without becoming centre of attention or overly loud."

Business: Tapavino is the best Spanish restaurant and tapas bar in Sydney. We are Australia’s first Sherry Bar. We cater for private functions as well.

4worldlovers:
Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain.


Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'


Located near Circular Quay, Tapavino is one of Sydney's Best Tapas Restaurants. Tapavino is split into two levels. Upstairs will be for those who would like to make a booking in advance, whilst the ground floor, the bar and the outside seating has ample seating for walkins.

4worldlovers: Due to staffing issues, Boque has temporarily closed until the New Year.

"One is the best Tapas restaurants in Sydney."

4worldlovers: Alegrias Spanish Tapas presents a unique culinary experience that combines traditional Spanish tapas with innovative twists, courtesy of the dedicated efforts of Chef Gutierrez. In our pursuit of authenticity, we take no shortcuts in the production and presentation of our dishes. Everything, from our flavorful sauces to our freshly baked bread, is prepared in-house to capture the true essence of Spanish cuisine.

Our wine list has been meticulously curated to showcase an exceptional selection of imported Spanish wines, many of which are not commonly found in Sydney. This ensures that our guests can enjoy a truly complementary pairing of food and wine, enhancing the overall dining experience. Join us at Alegrias Spanish Tapas for a memorable gastronomic journey through the flavors and traditions of Spain.

Alegrias offers an enchanting atmosphere for intimate dining experiences, featuring romantic candlelit tables, elegant hardwood accents, and classic chandeliers. During the weekdays, the ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner date.

On weekends, the venue comes alive with lively energy and excitement, featuring regular live performances from talented Spanish dancers and musicians. Step out onto our charming outdoor terrace, where you can savor a refreshing drink, indulge in delectable tapas, and enjoy good company as the world passes by. Alegrias truly captures the essence of both intimate and vibrant Spanish dining experiences, making it the perfect destination for any occasion.

The legend goes that the tradition of serving small plates and bar snacks with wine, beer and sherry – otherwise known as ‘tapas’ – began when King Alfonso XIII The Wise was recovering from an illness by drinking wine capped with morsels of simply served food. After regaining his health, he decreed that all taverns in Spain would not be allowed to serve their patrons wine unless it was accompanied by a small snack. At Alegrias Spanish Tapas and Bar we indulge in a range of Spanish and Mediterranean dishes alongside a few glasses, ideally with a group of friends and family, and the crystal chandeliers adorning its high ceilings and hardwood features, Alegrias Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant will invoke images of the class of the past.


At Alegrias, we take pride in using the finest imported Spanish ingredients alongside the freshest Australian produce to create a gastronomic delight for our guests. Spain is often recognized as the “healthiest country in the world,” largely due to the Mediterranean diet its citizens enjoy. We believe that our carefully crafted flavors not only excite the palate but also contribute to a high-quality, balanced, and healthy diet.


Chef Gutiérrez passionately champions the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and expertly prepared Spanish cuisine, infusing these principles into the dishes he creates for our guests. While we do offer a few indulgent dishes that deviate from this standard, our primary focus is on delivering wholesome and authentic Spanish cuisine that promotes well-being and satisfies the senses.


Alegrias is the ideal venue for groups ranging from 8 to 100 guests. Our carefully crafted function menus are designed to offer a substantial social dining experience, typically spanning 2-3 hours, allowing guests to savor tapas and Spanish cuisine the way it was meant to be enjoyed – with fine wine and great company. We cater to a variety of events, including birthdays, weddings, and special celebrations, ensuring that our guests delight in a broad selection of Spanish dishes.


To provide the perfect event experience for you and all your guests, we require that these bookings be made through an online request or over the phone, followed by a confirmation process. This allows us to meticulously plan every aspect of your event, from table sizes and food delivery methods to accommodating guests with specific dietary requirements. We are committed to ensuring that no one feels excluded and that everyone can fully partake in the Alegrias experience.

“Amazing view! wonderful staff and dont get me started on the food!”


I was able to make a booking at this place last saturday. First time here and the staff told me that I was initially going to sit further in the restaurant, but given how another table booked has not arrived, they happily gave me a table at the front! The view is absolutely wonderful and the staff has continuously checked up on us to ensure we are enjoying our time and the food. Oh the food. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. My favourite dish were the zucchini flowers. the batter was crisp and light, definitely recommended. I’m going to be coming back here time and time again.

I love Mojos! I always come here on Saturday afternoons between 4 and 6 for Happy Hour HALF PRICE delicious tapas and amazing, strong cocktails!

You get sooo much food and get so drunk, and then you get the bill and you’re like, ‘is that all?’

The Tapas are all about $7 each and all huge cocktails are $9 each during the 4-6 happy hour.

Its fun to come with a bunch of people.. there are heaps of good looking waiters to perve on and the vibe is really fresh and fun!

My fave tapas dishes include the tuna croquettes, the chorizo, the chicken sticks and the fried haloumi…..

“Do you want cheap tapas with amazing service and an ecstatic atmosphere?”

The service from the wait staff were so attentive and amazing. They continuously checked up on us and wondered if we were happy with the food and everything else. I love the team, they all communicated so well with each other and did everything they could to help other customers in such a fluid and efficient way. the happy hour pricing for the cocktails and tapas is definitely bang for your buck! even at normal pricing, the quality does not differ. What i really enjoyed most was the music playlist, mixing a ton of classic 80s music that can both hype us up and also relax us. There are many spanish music to listen to, some absolutely energetic and rub off a positive vibe. Ive seen people just dancing to it and the staff just smiling and laughing with them! Definitely recommend and absolutely coming back

I have been to Mojos a few times now and will always keep coming back. Every visit the food, drinks and service has always been amazing. My parents were recently over from the UK and they love there tapas food., We brought them here and they was very happy with the quality of the food and extensive menu choice. The cost of food is always reasonable also.

Loved food, staff, cocktails, service, friendly owner. Will be returning on my next stay in Sydney/Bondi..

Se vi piacciono le tapas non potete farvi scappare questo delizioso bar ristorante… Sarte serviti da simpatiche e carine ragazze che vi porteranno eccezionali tapas!!! Da NON perdere! Assolutamente necessario prenotare! Bella atmosfera e buona musica.
