Rioja Tapas was a delightful Spanish restaurant nestled in the charming village of Uppermill, Lancashire, proudly focusing on a vibrant selection of tapas. Though the restaurant has now permanently closed as of 2022, it has made a memorable impact on those who had the pleasure of dining there. The menu offered a unique twist on traditional Spanish tapas, carefully crafted to align with local flavor preferences. While some might argue that the authenticity was lacking compared to the genuine bites found in a bodega in Barcelona or Palma, the creative adaptations resulted in a seriously delicious experience. The restaurant excelled in providing a lovely setting for leisurely lunches or dinners, with a particularly enchanting terrace perfect for enjoying the weekend when the weather allowed. Although the tapas selection included some surprising non-Spanish offerings, like samosas and lamb koftas, most patrons opted to delve into the Spanish-themed dishes.

Located at 58 High St, Uppermill, Oldham OL3 6HA, the restaurant was accessible, albeit with some challenges regarding parking in the area.
