From the excellent reviews, I was expecting a lot. I wasn't disappointed. The menu contains the traditional tapas options, with the odd twist. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered 6 tapas between the two of us. This ended up being quite a bit of food. We still managed it though. Some dishes are on the pricey side, but the quality made them worth it. The mushrooms in cream, the pork belly and the albondigas (with cheese) were the highlights. But, as mentioned, everything was delicious.
Being a Spaniard in Manchester, I’ve found it quite hard to find a Spanish place with an authentic taste that’s not overpriced. La Cueva positively surprised me! The food took me right back to Spain - I was a little child again enjoying my grandma’s cooking. The portions were decently sized and the atmosphere was great. Definitely will be coming back!
Amazing place. Staff were really friendly, and the food came really quickly. We had 7 tapas dishes between 2 which was a perfect amount. All really tasty, we loved it!
A great place. Tapas are only small so it's better ordering two dishes. Plenty to choose from and great drink selection as well. The bill can add up (the more you have), but still: a celebration, date night - it's worth at least once a month. Best to book a table in advance as well. Parking is practically no existent so- a taxi is best - drink more sangria that way!
Great food, lovely staff and atmosphere! We had 9 dishes between 3 and they were all delicious, would 100% recommend the lamb cubes! The red wine sangria was really nice and complemented the food well (as you'd maybe hope with tapas).
Beautiful meal, thank you, no other pictures as it was all so good it went quickly!
Lovely place. For the price some tapas might at least come with 4 pieces instead of 3 which is still small (I.e. calamari rings, meatballs, croquetas…). The place is super nice and the stuff friendly. Food is tasty.
The best tapas i have had in a long time! The restaurant is stunning really nice vibe. Staff so friendly and helpful. Every dish was so tasty cooked to perfection. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend!
We were seated in the back of the restaurant in the "cave" area. On the really warm evening of 7th July 2023 we were glad of the cooling air-conditioning. Drinks ordered and food order given it didn't seem too long before we were tucking into our delicious tapas meals, although 3 out of 4 of us chose the paella and myself, the creamy chicken. Super tasty was the comment from us all. We ordered more drinks but by now we were ready to get warm again so we sat outside where it was warmer and a thoroughly good evening was had with great friends, great food and drinks, very pleasant and accomidating staff in attendance and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be going back there again 😊
Great experience, lovely food.
