What are the sort of things they serve out at a tapas bar?

Question

I havent got a clue about what tapas is, and what kind of menus they have?

Answer 1

Rather than ordering a starter and main course you order lots of little things.

Here's a link to a pretty typical tapas menu:

You'd probably want 3 things per person - or 4 for hungry people.

It's usual to share, rather than just eat the things you personally ordered.

Have fun!

Answer 2

The word "tapas" is used in spanish countries to refer to appetizers or small finger foods. Often these may simply be things like a plate of olives, deep fried zucchini, chips and salsa.

There are also traditional spanish dishes served as tapas such as "patatas bravas" or a plate of slice "chorizo", which is a type of sausage (like pepperoni).

There is likely to be a few items on a tapas menu that you will like. It is not just seafood, meat, or veggies but a bit of everything that you can choose from.
