A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. 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'.

The service always great. The food was delicious and very fresh. I don’t eat meat, they have lots of nice options to cater for special diets. I loved it all. Especially the eggplant bun.

Good food in the British style. However, if you are used to British curry houses, you'd expect the usual 4 dips to come with the papadums. Here they only provide mint sauce. Great value if you have a Citi credit card as get a free bottle of wine.
