Tapas with soul, cocktails with flair - welcome to Toro Tapas
Whether you’re a lifelong lover of Spanish flavours or new to the magic of sharing plates, we’re here to take you on a journey of bold tastes, good times, and great company.
Toro is never about rushing people in and out. It was never about plates landing fast or tables turning quicker. Toro exists for the moments in between.
For evenings that start with “just one” and end with “shall we order another?”
For food that’s passed hand to hand, not plated for show.
For wine poured generously and conversations that drift wherever they want to go.
We believe the best meals aren’t silent, they’re loud with laughter, clinking glasses, half-finished stories, and shared plates right in the middle of the table. Tapas, by nature, asks you to slow down, to taste, talk, linger. To eat together rather than alone.
Everything we do is built around that idea: food cooked with care and flavours rooted deeply in Spain, menus designed for sharing rather than choosing sides. No pressure. No pretence. Just honest cooking made to bring people closer.
Toro is for date nights that don’t need dressing up, for friends catching up properly, for families squeezing one more memory into the evening. For nights where the table feels full - even before the food arrives.
We don’t chase trends, we don’t rush evenings, and we don’t believe great food should feel complicated. We believe in warmth, generosity, and letting the night unfold naturally.
​
Pull up a chair, pour the wine, and stay as long as you like.
​
This is Toro.
