Tapa Tapa

We are staying in Zeist at one of the local hotels and me and my three young children (10 year old twin boys, and a 13 year old daughter) are trying out the local restaurants. Tonight was Tapa Tapa. As you can see from our five stars, we thoroughly enjoyed everything about this restaurant.
First off, there were two options for the menu. An «all you can eat» option and an «a la carte» option. We chose the «a la carte» option, but at the end we would have been slightly better off with the all you can eat choice, so think carefully how hungry you are before you decide. Next time we will opt for the all you can eat. This option is the same as many sushi restaurants, with a piece of paper where you can tick off the choices you wish to make for each round of your orders. A much appreciated plus was that water was served in carafe, and so we did not have to pay for bottles of water which just last night at another place came to 12 Euros just for the water! We made up for it by ordering a beer and a sangria. I likely won’t order the sangria again, not because it was bad, but it was just a bit too sweet to go with our meal. I’m going to stick to the beer, which was a very nice compliment to all the different dishes.
As one would expect with a tapas restaurant we had a good sampling of many different things. Everything was delicious, but special mention has to be made for the deviled eggs (huevos rellenos) which were infused with a barbaque sauce that made an old recipie new. It was a very plesant surprise. We also ordered the empanada espinacas (twice) which were really wonderful. Small bite sized spinich empanadas with a hint of goat chees were light and delicious. I also want to mention the datiles con bacon, which were exactly as I expected them to be. The dates were delicious and not overwheliming and the bacon was cooked perfectly to make an ideal mixture of taists in the mouth. My only comment (not criticism) would have to be addressed to the chorizo de bellota, which was very good, but didn’t surprise me the way everything else did. Final mention to the deserts, all of which were outstanding, but of special note were the torta de benofee which was unique and delicious as well as the fondue de chocolate, which provided fresh fruit to dip in melted chocolate. Delicious!
Finally a huge thank you to the waitstaff who were personable, kind to the children and long-​suffering when one of the boys spilled a bottle of water all over the place. Overall, a wonderful evening at a wonderful restarurant.

Leckeres Tapas-​Restaurant mit All-​You-​Can-​Eat (served). Sehr freundliche Bedienung, gute Atmosphäre. Tapas lecker, aber nicht herausragend.
