Reviews on here somewhat out of date as this is no longer a Tapas Restaurant. It is, however, a superb cafe, our favourite in the whole area.
There is a lovely atmosphere, the friendliest of owners, the food is lovely and beautifully presented. Our three year old always looks thrilled if we mention going to Zumo.
There is also a superb crazy golf course on site to keep the children entertained. Highly recommended.

What a shocking waste of time and money and a total disappointment that was.
It was 55 minutes from our order being taken until the food came.
Then it came in dribs and drabs so that the first to be served had finished eating when the last of us got our food.
I then had a further wait for my chips that was so long I had eaten the rarebit they were ordered to go with by the time they showed up so I no longer wanted them.
The rarebit was actually grey in colour, cold and tasted of nothing
I couldn't have a pint of juice because they didn't have enough big glasses
Seriously spend your hard earned cash somewhere else!

As we have young children we don't got out very often. When we do, it is to Tapenada as we always get an excellent reception, lovely food and good wine. Would recommend it strongly.

We visited Tapenada on Friday night and were completely blown away. The starters (fresh tuna tempura, and spinach roulade) were amazing and substantial. Likewise our main courses (salmon, and guinea fowl in chocolate sauce) were wonderful. The service was fantastic and friendly. My only disappointment was that tapas is only served up to a certain time in the early evening, but I will certainly be returning one teatime soon to try them out!

Really nice starter of sweet, fresh tomatoes, tangy pesto and a soft, young mozzarella. This was followed by an equally good main of some of the best lamb ever, so sweet and tender noissettes stuffed with apricots and saffron rice. The coriander crushed potatoes which accompanied it were outstanding. A thick, sticky jus complimented the aroma of the potatoes and saffron with the sweetness of the meat perfectly. A little disappointed with the dessert, orange marinated in grand marinara, nice, - but orange skin was a bit thought. All in all, a truly fabulous meal - with very nice wine too.

living in blackpool there is very little choice for tapas and spanish food in general. Found this place purely by accident in a classified advert whilst in a dentist waiting room. It turned out to be the best visit to a dentist ever!! Myself and my wife had the tapas and it was quite simply perfect - we had nine tapas dishes and each one was extremely delicious. We will be going again very soon - fantastic.

My daughter and I had a lovely meal on a warm evening and were able to sit in the garden taking in the last of the sun. The inside of Tapenada is clean, light and welcoming. We could not find any faults with any of our chosen dishes (which were all fish as it happens) and the desserts were great. I will be going again with my husband as soon as possible. Well done Tapenada.
