About Mama Tapas Trust the Chef Taste the Surprise.

Sanur’s Mama Tapas swaps extensive menus for a blind four-dish tasting set tailored to your dietary needs. Diners surrender ordering fatigue to the kitchen, receiving small plates like slow-cooked beef tongue in tomato sauce, crisp croquetas, and mushroom soup with concentrated depth. The compact room holds around 20 seats—creating an unhurried, shared rhythm over glasses of chilled sangria and red wine poached pears.

  • Chef's surprise tasting: The kitchen tailors a surprise set of four daily small plates to individual dietary needs without standard ordering menus.
  • Intimate micro-venue: A compact room seating roughly 20 guests fosters a shared, relaxed setting over small plates and sangria.

  • Authentic Traditional Spanish Recipes

    Dishes showcase traditional Spanish recipes and techniques, including authentic preparations like tender slow-cooked beef tongue.

    Sure enough it was slow cooked beef tongue in a tomato based sauce. Delicious. True Spanish cooking based on my experience.

    Handcrafted desserts like red wine poached pears offer an indulgent finish rooted in classic Spanish flavors.

  • Croquettes

    We love the croquettes :). There are so many good dishes.

  • Mushroom Soup

    The mushroom soup I rave about to people. It is the mushroom soup that you crave about. So many are disappointing. This one has a deep true intense mushroom flavour.
