DELICIOUS

​


Our menu is a celebration of tapas done right. Inspired by the bold, vibrant flavours of the East and crafted with a modern twist, our small plates are made for sharing. Whether you're grazing through a few favourites or going all in on a full spread, every dish is designed to surprise and delight. From light bites to rich, flavour-packed mouthfuls, there's something on the table for everyone.


And what's great food without a great drink? Our cocktail menu is as carefully considered as our kitchen, offering everything from classic pours to creative concoctions that perfectly complement your meal. Come in for drinks, stay for the tapas — or let us take care of both.


Whether you're planning a casual catch-up, a date night, or a long lunch with the whole crew, Café Tapas is your go-to spot in Hervey Bay. Pull up a chair, order a round of plates and drinks, and let the evening take care of itself.

ORIGINS

Tapas means snacks, canapés or finger food. The word ‘tapas’ is derived from the Spanish verb tapar: ‘to cover’. Originally when eating tapas in traditional Spanish bars, the locals would stand, placing their plates on top of their drinks to use them as a surface upon which to eat, covering their drinks in the process … and so the nickname ‘tapas’ was born. Or so they say! The serving of tapas is designed to encourage active conversation because people are not so focused upon eating an entire meal that is set before them. Enjoying tapas is very much about enjoying the social company you are with, and sharing food together. Not just a snack, but a whole meal. Tapas is not just a starter or snack, it is a whole meal. At Café Tapas we have created a variety of deliciously fresh and tasty treats for your selection, and we hope that a few might become your favourites. Whatever the true origins of tapas, sit back and enjoy the Café Tapas experience as we prepare your tapas selection. And don’t forget to enjoy your tapas like the Spanish do – with a glass of wine, your favourite aperitif or a cocktail! Café Tapas offers a Western style tapas with an Asian influence. We look forward to making your next dining experience an enjoyable one for both you and your friends, family or business associates.
