La Tasca - Bournemouth Description
The lively La Tasca chain caters for parties, children's events and family gatherings in addition to anytime dining. These restaurants capture well the warm and vibrant spirit of Spain, and are best known for their tapas and traditional paellas. You could choose from several versions of their menu - rapido, if you are in a hurry, tapas for a tenner, when you want exceptional value, a regular mains list, party and a popular kid's carte - truly a place for all occasions.
Their star player is tapas, which can be had solo or in tandem with a meal. The fritura mixta de pescado, deep fried squid, tuna, whitebait and king prawn with lemon, sea salt and roasted garlic mayonnaise is great for sharing, while the rape a la naranja made of monkfish in white wine, orange and coriander, offers a real treat. Chicken lovers order alitas de pollo, juicy wings marinated in garlic and paprika, or have skewered fresh breast and red peppers. Chef's selection of Tapas for Two offers a dazzling range of delectable dishes for £25.95.
Valenciana is an interesting paella that combines seafood with chicken, and if you have a taste for trivia, you may be surprised to learn that 'la paella' actually refers to the utensil in which the dish is cooked. Jerezana, with chorizo, squid, spinach, hot green chilli peppers, garlic, tomato and herbs was developed by José Luis, La Tasca's Chef of the Year. A variety of tortillas, mushrooms sautéed in olive oil and fried potatoes in a spicy sauce provide enough choice for vegetarians.
Other than liqueurs and beer, there are wines from Spanish vineyards and sparkling cava. All of these, especially the dry rosé wines combine well with tapas. And you would be really getting into the spirit of things if you rounded off with the crema Catalana, a delicious dark and white chocolate mousse filled with creamy liqueur.
La Tasca Spanish Tapas Restaurants and Bars today have over seventy outlets across the UK, so odds on there is a branch close to your home.
Your Reviews of La Tasca - Bournemouth
Kev & Jess (13 September 2008)
We booked a table for 6pm yesterday and although there were only about ten people at other tables, we still had to wait 20 minutes before we were asked if we would like a drink. When the food arrived it looked great it, we had ordered the 'Chef Selection Menu' for two, however, the food was absolutely terrible. The chicken they used was processed yet it was overcooked, which suggests it was just re-heated from the day before. The 'lamb' was in fact mutton, a very old one at that and the rest of the food was served at various temperatures, suggesting some of it had simply been warmed up in the microwave and again from the day before. The service was terrible with four waiters chatting to each other whilst you wait for a drink.

We waited 45 minutes before we got our food. The members of staff were all foreign students and couldn't speak enough English to communicate well enough with customers when taking orders. I had to repeat myself five times to ask for two large cokes and then the waitress had to ask help from her boss. The staff seemed more interested in talking with their passing friends than serving customers. When the food finally arrived they had got our order wrong and it seemed like it had all been cooked in the microwave or reheated from the previous day. It was not good value for money either.
