Met friends here for a catch up and we weren’t disappointed. Great atmosphere and lovely layout. Staff were very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Service was great. And the food was amazing and looked amazing. There were 4 of us and we chose 3 tapas each and shared. Which was a perfect amount. It was that good, we’ve booked again for next month. Highly recommend. Great location. Lots of pubs nearby if you want to carry in the night. Or if you’re being sensible, you could have a lovely walk along the beach/promenade to walk off your meal.

Returning to Sol Y Sombra a few weeks since last visit and lovely new decor in upstairs area is amazing.
A very busy night as we arrived early evening. Highly efficient service from two brilliant waitresses. We ordered 6 tapas dishes and a bread/olives platter. More than enough food for the two of us. Really enjoyed the Pescadero Point Rose wine. Such a busy place with a vibrant atmosphere. Will return again.

Enjoyed a great lunch with good service in lovely surroundings. The tapas were delicious, as was the wine. The £16 lunch deal is great value & my friend & I shared our dishes. The portions are generous.

Sol y Sombra has been our favourite restaurant for several years, however we hadn't visited since it had been taken over and so were curious as to how much it might have changed - for better or worse!
As it turned out, the new team have made what I thought was the best restaurant, even better! It's been freshened up a little inside, and the menu is now slightly expanded (at least lunch time was) to allow you to pick and choose tapas dishes, as well as the original "set menu".
Some new or different dishes - all delicious as always. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. No suprise really, given these fold also have the nearby Selkie - another outstanding restaurant!
Our 5 year old loved trying all the different dishes.
Looking forward to our next visit already!

We visited Sol y Sombra again recently, and just like our first time, it absolutely didn’t disappoint. There were three of us, and we went for two of the set menus plus an extra tapas dish to share. Even though it was a Tuesday lunchtime, the restaurant was buzzing — clearly a sign that people know a good thing when they find it.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented, full of flavor and variety. You can really tell how much care goes into each dish. Big kudos to chef Ethan for this fantastic meal (served in person btw. as the place was very busy!).
The staff were just as lovely as we remembered — warm, chatty, and genuinely welcoming. Special mention to the waiter/bartender whose name we forgot to ask for next time we’ll make sure to get it, because he really added to the experience.
Overall, another wonderful visit to this gem of a tapas bar. We’ll definitely be back.
