According to The Joy of Cooking, the original tapas were the slices of bread or meat which sherry drinkers in Andalusian taverns used to cover their glasses between sips. This was a practical measure meant to prevent fruit flies from hovering over the sweet sherry.

The meat used to cover the sherry was normally ham or chorizo, which are both very salty and activate thirst. Because of this, bartenders and restaurant owners began creating a variety of snacks to serve with sherry, thus increasing their alcohol sales. Soon the lowly tapa (from tapa derived the verb tapar, "to cover") became as important as the sherry.

Around the world, tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine.
Patrons of tapas bars, typically a relaxed environment, may order a couple, or many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal.

At Bar Saluté we have taken the concept of tapas a step further. Our menu is a variety of interesting small plates that are designed to excite the curious food lover in you. By making the portions smaller it gives the opportunity to order and experience many different flavours and dishes, and to share this experience with the whole table creating a wonderfully social and relaxed environment.

We have an extensive wine list with many options by the glass, giving the opportunity to not only work your way through the menu but to match the dishes with different wines from around the world.
