Tapa Specific Dietary Requirement Menus We realised some time ago that tapas lends itself very well to those with specific dietary requirements & when we thought about it even further, we began to appreciate how awesome it would be if- with only a small amount of change to how we prepared some of our dishes- we could make most of our menu accessible to as many people as possible! We re really proud of our ability to deal with dietary requirements & as such if there is anything that you are unsure of, please just ask. Similarly, we ve worked really hard training all our staff to be as knowledgeable as they can possibly be about all our dishes, but, if they don t know something or if you d like an other opinion, it only takes a quick question to the Chef to find a definitive answer. We really hope this helps take the stress out of dining out for you! Love, The Tapa Team Contents Vegan Menu: Pages 1 &2 Menu for those who are Gluten Intolerant: Pages 3, 4, 5 Menu for those who are Lactose Intolerant: Pages 6,7 & 8.
