“My boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to some tapas and wine over the past weekend and I must say that we absolutely loved our experience from the moment we walked in until we left. Have visited La Regata in the past with my family and was so happy that I managed to visit this lovely restaurant and have another amazing evening again. The food is always so fresh and delicious and of course best accompanied by their great range of wines! This place is the perfect spot for any occasion, will be back again soon! Thank you La Regata!”
“I have been coming to this restaurant for well over 5 years now and I can safely say it has never been anything other than excellent! The decor is beautiful and you instantly feel like your in Spain, the food is fresh and exciting and it is always hard to decide what dishes to have. The service is always friendly and not overbearing in any way it is a must for any lover of Spanish Cuisine!”

“Me and my husband chose to dine at the restaurant for the first time when we had family visiting. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so warming and friendly and really does make you feel like you are in Spain! We noticed the menu had soo many options to choose from and many quite different from what we have seen before. We tasted over 12 tapas dishes and there wasn’t one we didn’t like! We especially liked the king prawns in spicy garlic sauce and the chicken wings however all of it was absolutely delicious! The service was also excellent we will definitely be going back and recommend to our friends and family!”
“One of the most wonderful meals we’ve ever had. This has to be one of the nicest restaurants in the south of England. The outlook is great, atmosphere lovely, very Spanish, nice view of the docks, with superb friendly service and absolutely stunning Spanish food. Superb!”
“Our kids love this place, great menu and great tapas. Service is always excellent and the owner often comes out and chats to the kids about the food and Spain. The paella is awesome and very similar to southern Spanish varieties. Some lovely dishes too that are not often found in England, the octopus bravas for instance. Being a Tapas bar/restaurant this place is also perfect for an ice cold beer in the summer accompanied by a plate of olives, or other basic tapas.”
“Perfect selection of tasty Tapas, lovely Spanish feeling, and friendly staff. We met up with two dear friends for a catch up over lunch. We ordered Sangria which I have to say was one of the best ever. Enjoyed a great selection of freshly cooked tapas on a sunny summer’s day – perfect !! if you haven’t eaten at this lovely place, then you need to. You will not be disappointed. Thanks, La Regata and see you soon!”
“I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening for my best friends birthday. The restaurant had an authentic and cosey decor which was extremely welcoming. We had a large party of 20 people and the majority of us had the suckling pig. This was absolutely mind-blowing. Everyone was taking pictures because it looked wonderful but as soon as they started eating everyone was awestruck. Not only did the pig look amazing, but the taste was also out of this world. The meat was succulent and was falling apart on the fork. The potatoes were cooked in rosemary and salt and were excellent as well!”

Came on music night and had the best, if not better tapas than we found in rural Spain all to the tune of flamenco music. Our sever was attentive and friendly, a truly lovely evening. Close

My boyfriend chose this restaurant as he has been before to surprise me for my birthday - as I love tapas! It was a Thursday evening so expected to be quiet, they only had the downstairs open and it was full and quaint and had a wonderful atmosphere! We had beers and food until we were full and then wandered home. I would recommend to anybody!
Please go try this place! Close

It’s a charming restaurant on the harbour front close to the ferry terminals with staff who all gave service with a smile.
The tapas we ate were all reasonably priced and excellent quality with some unusual items on the menu. We had Manchester cheese and crackers, cooked dates stuffed with blue cheese (delicious), pork escalope with chorizo and cheese, stuffed crepe mushrooms and fried bacalao strips all washed down with 2 bottles of the very drinkable Paso A Paso white wine.
There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant with the upstairs room used when the main restaurant gets busy. Well with a visit! Close

We decided to sit on the terrace which is very close to the street but still very pleasant. We went for selection of tapas and all of them were great! Amazing bread with some olive oil, very simply yet so tasty. Good selection of wine and delicious churros! Close

I visited here with my daughter and we both came away very happy punters. The staff were very friendly and advised on both the food dishes, what and how many to order and on the wines.
The decor gives a very traditional feel and the atmosphere casual and friendly.
The restaurant itself is near the waterfront and well worth a visit. Close
