Don Pepe Tapas Bar
December 14, 2020by David Herd
Spanish Tapas
Don Pepe Tapas Bar is a welcome addition to what should be called “restaurant row.” It shares the arcade with several well known restaurants including Alter Ego, Beefeater, Patrick’s & Longhorn steakhouse.
Nice decor
Not too many customers at 6.30 pm. 🙂
Very interesting choices of food.
The octopus looks spectacular, I will definitely order it next time I visit. This & some of the other food shots were taken by my friend Hamish Elton on his Google Pixel XL 3 phone.
Lamb Balls
At a price of B180 or $8 AUD.
Bomba Iberica
Those a quale eggs on top.
Prawns
As you can clearly see, this is another dish Hamish ordered.
In fact here are all the dishes he ordered
His wife Mai is a small eater, but Hamish has one of the best appetites’ I have ever seen. 🙂
Interesting name…..
They call it “Burger me softly”, & it will set you back B180, or $8 AUD.
Pork Belly
Looks delicious.
Don Pepe Tapas Bar presents their Pulled Pork Taco
They have certainly created some interesting dishes. Patrick Van Den Berghe, the owner of Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse is part owner of Don Pepe Tapas Bar, his vast experience will have quite an influence on this new establishment.
Barcelona style creme brulee
Not a bad way to finish an excellent meal. 🙂
A tapa is an appetizer or snack in Spanish cuisine. Tapas may be cold or hot. In some bars and restaurants in Spain and across the globe, tapas have evolved into a more sophisticated cuisine. Tapas can be combined to make a full meal. In some Central American countries, such snacks are known as bocas. Wikipedia
Many thanks for visiting my Don Pepe Tapas Bar photo blog, & thanks to my friend Hamish Elton for the use of some of his excellent photos.
My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets.
I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington.
Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand.
What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :)
I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit.
Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ????
Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia.
Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
