A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

    The restaurant location is close to public transport in a quiet side street. The food was very good and the service too. Although when my friend asked for a Pinot Gris she was told it was a Spanish restaurant! And when she asked for a doggy bag at the end of our meal the same waiter asked "For what exactly?" The overwhelming impression of Tapavino however was the intolerable noise level. If we hadn't all made a considerable effort to meet there from various parts of Sydney we might not have stayed. I could only hear and be understood by the friend sitting next to me. Our friends across the table tried shouting and sign language but it was impossible. So we enjoyed the food and wine and left. We were offered the option of sitting outside in the lane however the cold wind knocked out that idea. I don't think we'll be back.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant wandering around Sydney. The absolute best find ever. The food was exceptional, the staff fabulously attentive and the wine fantastic. We enjoyed it so much we booked again for the Saturday night. Our new favourite restaurant in Sydney.

    Fabulous restaurant and great ambience if you don’t mind it to feel crowded and a bit noisy, hence the 4 stars for ambience.
