My last two visits to Tempranillo were very disappointing. Having supported the place for several years, the portions became tiny and worst of all the food turned bland. However after several months we tried again and were over the moon to find the dishes were back to being well sized and incredibly tasty. Each dish was outstanding - especially the butter and parsley mushrooms, and the pork lentil stew.

We have been here a few times. Food and service has always been amazing. We organised a surprise birthday dinner here last night, the staff were so accommodating with pre ordering, taking into account food intolerances, and making it a wonderful surprise for the birthday girl! Customers for life! Can’t fault a thing. Thanks so much! PS order the sangria!

Beautiful authentic feeling tapas restaurant. Good portions, great advice on what to try, including specially sourced wines. Definitely recommend for dates, catch ups with friends, or family, or special occasions. We went for an anniversary and it was perfect. It's also only a few minutes away from Macc train station so perfect if you're from out of the area too.
