That new tapas restaurant by Denmark Hill

[PSJ]

Has anyone tried that new tapas restaurant (Tapette?) by Denmark Hill? (I'm presuming it is Tapas from the name).

Yes, I went for dinner there earlier this week. It is alright/half-decent.

They do outdoor seating when the sun is shining which is a bonus. The tapas were better than (say) La Tasca - but don't go expecting Barrafina or Brindisa. As such its probably a worthy successor to the (now closed) Forest Hill branch of Barcelona Tapas but in a better location. The service was a mixed bag (they were a bit distracted by Spain's first world cup game and so upset my vegetarian friend by serving him a dish containing meat!) The wine was acceptable.

I'm sure we will go back.

Thanks for the update, must give it a go. Has anyone been around long enough to remember Chibchas, the Latin American tapas restaurant that used to be there before it became Thai then Vietnamese? That was amazing and I still miss it!

Many thanks - might try it after Spain are out of the World Cup! :)

I went recently and I have to say that I was very underwhelmed. They seem like a decent bunch, but the food we had really did fall short of the mark.

A really disappointing experience, unfortunately.
