New Year's Eve Dinner at Fiesta Tapas

Let Fiesta Tapas conjure up a New Year's Eve festival of fine food with the taste for the unusual - Latin American Style!


Social eating is the theme with delicious little bites of food that make sharing a delight. Select a range from the tantalising tapas menu and dip into each one with unabashed enjoyment.

From the marinated artichokes with roasted garlic and rosemary (comes in a jar) to the pan-fried prawns with peppers, garlic, paprika, cumin, lemon and parsley, these are the dishes to die for.

“The Mediterranean influence dominates to create this range of small, tasty bites but we added the Moroccan influence to create our own unique combinations” says food consultant, Rimo na Taljaard. These quirky touches work sublimely – tempting dishes that will have the pickiest eater tucking in.

Step into the restaurant and you'll be struck by the mix of traditional elegance rubbing shoulders with distressed, worn café style tables and chairs. Wooden framed paintings depict an era long past of dancing in the streets, crazy old cars and fiesta – not to be confused with siesta – this is no sleepy venue!
