What are Tapas

Tapas are Spain¡¯s greatest invention, ¡°Eat when you drink, Drink when you eat¡± is the philosophy.
Tapas are small dishes designed to be shared, the ultimate communal dining experience.
Tapas originated in Spain in the 1800¡¯s and literally means ¡°to cover¡±. It started, so they say, with a piece of bread balanced over a glass, to keep the flies out. Spanish traditionally drink outside and rarely alone. Originally Tapas were free with a glass of wine, as they were meant to promote thirst and increase drink sales. Over the next 100 years Tapas evolved to become a part of everyday life for millions.
Tapas whet the appetite, but are more than just appetisers. Tapas are not meant to be eaten as one individual meal, instead one Tapa per person and a different one for each drink is the idea, allowing everyone to enjoy tasting and sharing.
Could you imagine eating Tapas alone, We can¡¯t, which is why we have strived to create an environment which promotes conversation, laughter and communal dining in a relaxed and picturesque environment.
Tapas are a fun, delicious and exciting communal dining experience, designed to be shared and enjoyed. Choose as little or as much as you like, have them served to the centre of the table and relax while sharing your selection of dishes.
At Cottontails, each Tapas dish is portioned for two serves, designed to help couples & groups share the enjoyment of a wide variety of dishes.
So sit back, take your time, relax, have a drink or two and enjoy the famous Tapas experience.
