Acquisition in 2001
Since La Tasca first opened in Manchester in 1993, we have been creating a small taste of Spain for our guests to enjoy, through authentic food, drink and Spanish culture. After running Spanish restaurants for over two decades we’ve also learnt how to enjoy the Fiesta. Now we have restaurants across the UK, each with their unique Spanish character. Whether you’re looking for a venue to celebrate, romantic dinner, private room or al fresco dining, we are sure to have the perfect location for you to enjoy your own taste of Spain. We are passionate about sourcing directly from regional Spanish producers, ensuring we have the best ingredients to provide you with the most authentic tapas, paella’s and other dishes from Spain. We scour Spain looking for the best wines, sherries and cervezas to ensure you get the best experience possible. With amazing wines from over eight regions, cava’s selected from the best “vinedos” in Peñedes through to beers from Barcelona, Madrid and Andalucia we believe we found the best Spain has to offer. As well as award winning food, like the Spanish we know how to throw a party, so you are welcome to stay late, drink and dance the night away at one of our local events or tasting nights or join in one of many flamenco classes we have on offer. With so many cultural events taking place across Spain throughout the year, there always an excuse for a party. ¡Viva España!
