Where Spain
comes alive
in Stevenage

Tucked along Middle Row in Old Stevenage, El Bar de Tapas has been feeding families and filling evenings with the kind of warmth that only a properly family-run kitchen can produce. Traditional small plates, hand-selected imported wines, and a room that feels like it belongs somewhere south of the Pyrenees.

Open Tuesday through Sunday. Monday belongs to the family — as it should.
