What neilh likes about La Bandera:
Would highly recommend, amazing tasting menu. The twice cooked octopus, cod and steak courses were particular favourites and the wine flight complemented the food perfectly. A particular stand out was the service, friendly and attentive and on a par with best we’ve had in Manchester View all feedback. What DavidB doesn't like about La Bandera:
The food was mediocre and the service was awful. The waitstaff consistently messed up our order, we had to continuously request water, and we were given the wrong bill three times at the end of our meal. It's best to steer clear of this restaurant until their employees receive some proper training. View all feedback.

With some of the other Yelpers I came down to La Bandera this week to try their tapas, of which I have heard great things.

La Bandera in Manchester offers an incredible dining experience with authentic Spanish cuisine and a Canary Islands twist. The food is full of flavor, with standouts like the mojo sauces with potatoes and the prawns. The taster menu is highly recommended, with perfectly cooked dishes and a great mix of flavors. The service is attentive and friendly, with staff offering expert guidance on wine choices. Despite a few minor issues like delays in seating and noisy children, the overall experience at La Bandera is fantastic. This restaurant is a must-visit for those looking for the best tapas in Manchester.
