James Picton, managing director of Tapas Revolution says: “We have had ambitions to open within the Metrocentre for a while now and with the North East having such a rich historic culture and a diverse food scene, we feel the Tapas Revolution brand, culture and flavours will sit perfectly here. It’s so important to us that we take time to search for the right location, and I’m delighted that our new restaurant within the Qube at the Metrocentre fits the bill perfectly.”
“We pride ourselves in creating a menu full of flavours and Mediterranean culture, serving dishes that taste like tapas you experience in Spain, alongside our authentic Spanish hospitality, the relaxed vibe at Tapas Revolution centres around Spain’s culinary culture of sharing, socialising and eating. Open all day, just like typical Spanish tapas bars, our exceptional chefs will guide diners on a flavoursome adventure across the Mediterranean.”
Tapas Revolution is dedicated to using the best fresh ingredients, sourced locally where possible, to prepare handmade dishes. They are passionate about making dishes by hand, so everything they serve is truly authentic to their Spanish origins.
Tapas Revolution was founded in 2010 by celebrity chef Omar Allibhoy Cuende, there are currently 10 restaurants in cities across the UK, including London, Birmingham, Bath, Brighton and Liverpool. The restaurant serves up authentic Spanish food, inspired by traditional tapas bars from Spain.
Tapas Revolution in Gateshead will be located in the Upper Yellow Mall of the Qube in the Metrocentre where extensive work is underway to create a traditional Spanish tapas setting designed for sharing, socialising and eating.
