¿CóMO? Taperia: Michelin-Recommended Tapas in Mount Pleasant

¿CóMO? Taperia is a lively Spanish tapas bar at 201 East 7th Avenue in Mount Pleasant. It was dreamed up by three Spain-obsessed hospitality veterans, including bartender Shaun Layton, and was named No. 2 on enRoute's list of Canada's Best New Restaurants in 2019.

CóMO is Michelin recommended and won Bronze for Best Mediterranean at the 2026 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. Here's what to order.

About ¿CóMO? Taperia

It is inspired by the classic, standing-room tapas bars of Barcelona and Madrid, and the room is famously packed. Soccer is a theme, right down to the washroom walls.

Daily specials bridge classic Spanish food with local products, and rare Spanish wines are a highlight. Ask your server to guide you through a pairing.
