Ha sido todo un descubrimiento. Personal muy atento. Raciones muy generosas. La ensaladilla buenísima.

No puedes ir a Denia y no ir a tapar y conocer a Papi!! Sitio de terraza con una amabilidad y saber trabajar no solo de Papi sino de todo el personal que tiene. Las tapas abundantes. Los famosos Escombros justo de rebozado y las patatas bravas( que para mí son mixtas) en su justa medida de picante. Y que decir de su tortilla de patata eso es otro nivel. Gracias Papi ,a su mujer y al resto del personal por hacernos pasar 1 semana en Denia inolvidable!!

Fuimos a comer porque tenía buenas reseñas en Tripadvisor y la verdad que fue buena experiencia. Comida casera y muy rica además de precios bastante competitivos.

Sin duda INMEJORABLE. RECOMENDABLE AL 100%. El trato maravilloso. Ubicado enfrente del puerto de Denia. Servicio muy rápido. Todo muy limpio y buen organizado. La comida riquísima, muy bien elaborada y con raciones generosas. Disponen de carta con ensaladas, bocadillos, raciones, especialidades, platos combinados, sándwiches, etc. por cierto, la TORTILLA… UNA PASADA. Muy armables y serviciales. La relación calidad-precio es excelente. Estaba hasta la bandera pero el chico (Papi) de inmediato nos hizo reserva y en 20 minutos tuvimos mesa en la terracita para 6. Sin duda un muy buen sitio al que si puedo volveré.

Muchas reseñas negativas que no hacen sentido, las camareras fueron queridas y sonríen sin problema alguno, super atentas y serviciales, inicialmente iba a pedir muchas cosas, pensando que irían a ser tapitas, pero nuestra camarera nos sugirió que no ordenarnos todo eso, ya que siendo dos personas con 3 tapas y 2 empanadas íbamos a quedar bien, y efectivamente, he quedado como un lechón relleno, la comida espectacular, me encantaron las patatas bravas y la empanada de pollo, vaya sabor, acompañado de una salsa de aguacate que te chupas los dedos, estuvo espectacular. Perfecto en todo sentido.

Bar de tapas de toda la vida. Muy buena comida, cantidad y calidad en relación con el precio. Destacar la amabilidad de Papi y el buen trato durante toda la cena. Volveremos sin duda.

The service was amazing! The food was also delicious. There is a playground next to the restaurant which was great to entertain the kids whilst we were waiting for the food. To complete the experience, the view and the weather were fantastic!

Amazing food and prices pretty affordable. Direct attention by the “Papi” which makes a lot of difference. Please have in mind that this is a bar style food bar. If you do not know the “meat empanada”, you should try it!!! Words from a native venezuelan… Sangria is another must have in this bar!

Favorite tapas bar in Denia, very welcoming host (amazing) and really nice to sit outside! Absolutely recommend to come here! Xopitos are 10/10

So amazing!! Such a great feed, excellent service. Fried fish was the pick, also the chicken salad. Our waitress was fabulous, very friendly and attentive. Might be our best meal in Spain. Small but solid wine list. Also a great feature for families is the children’s playground right beside La Tapita, you could sit at a table at the fenceline. It would suit kids right up to 6/7 years old and gates close properly so they are safe inside (road is close by but playground is fenced in).

Really amazing food and service, staff are lovely and very accommodating, and Papi is an amazing host. He makes the experience more personal and even gave us a couple things off the menu as a gift to try out. Highly highly recommend.

Have just been here tonight with my partner & we shared the tapas selection (which when we asked) were told that 3 between us would be suffice & that it was. We both had a wine - him red, me rosè. I must commend the staff who were all very friendly & helpful. A big special shout out to Papi (who said my spanish - which is very little at the moment) was very good. I am glad that my Spanish lessons are paying off. Again La comida era perfecto 👌🏾

Perfect combination of amazing location and local vibes with great pub fare. Papi and his friends and staff made me feel very welcome again and again. Just show up with a smile and be welcomed with a smile. Highly recommend skipping the other uptight seaside joints in favor of this gem!

We stopped off for a quick bite at this lovely little bar at Denia port. It has a lovely outside seating area and the service was great! Fresh salads and tellinas (like mussels but much smaller) went down a treat! Great place Papi 😀

One of the best tapas bars I’ve visited in this region of Spain. The server was SO kind, helpful and put a smile on our faces. The food was authentic and delicious - the price makes it even better! A must visit for Dénia! Hacia calor para Octubre ☀️

Very friendly staff, nice location in the middle of the boulevard. Great, fresh food. We went twice, had tapas both times and had a great time. Fried fish is fresh, great grilled chorizo. Will definitely go again next time I am around.

What a lovely place! Best Sangria, yummy food, great service, and for those with children - the convenience of having a playground right next to the restaurant!

Went here for my birthday. Food was excellent!! We had the fried baby squid , empanadas, stewed pork with tomatoes, and fried potatoes. After tapas I had some shots with Popi . Thanks for making my birthday great!!!

Wadim Mieszajkin

This is an exceptional tapas bar! We jumped in for a quick lunch and a small break, and we couldn't get any better. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, everything was served pretty fast. Good selection of different tapases, there are some bigger meals as well. Everything that we ordered was very delicious, especially croquetes and fried baby squids - just perfect! Prices are pretty fair, especially for the quality you get. A must-visit place!

La Tapita del Papi ha sido todo un descubrimiento. Este pequeño bar de tapas familiares en Dénia destaca por su cocina honesta, sabor mediterráneo y un trato cercano que te hace sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Empezamos con una ensaladilla rusa casera, cremosa y bien ligada, con patata en su punto, ventresca y encurtidos que aportaban el equilibrio perfecto entre frescura y sabor. Uno de esos entrantes que no necesitan florituras para brillar. Seguimos con un plato generoso de pescadito frito, compuesto por boquerones, caballa y salmonetes. Rebozado crujiente, sin exceso de aceite, y con un toque de limón que realzaba aún más el sabor del mar. Un acierto total para los amantes del tapeo tradicional. Los calamares a la andaluza fueron otro imprescindible. Bien limpios, cortados en anillas gruesas, con una fritura ligera que no enmascaraba el producto. Textura tierna y sabor profundo, sin ese temido punto gomoso que a veces arruina este plato en otros sitios. Acompañamos la cena con una botella de vino blanco seco, bien frío, que maridaba perfectamente con los platos marinos. Buena selección de vinos para un local de este tipo, algo que se agradece. El servicio fue ágil, amable y muy atento. Se nota que hay cariño en lo que hacen y que conocen bien su producto. Nos recomendaron con sinceridad, sin forzar, lo cual siempre se agradece. En resumen: un sitio sin pretensiones pero con mucho alma, donde el producto fresco, la elaboración cuidada y el buen trato se dan la mano. Volveremos sin duda.

Pese a tener una cocina pequeña, gestionan a gran velocidad las mesas. El Papi es muy carismático y amable. Los fritos muy buenos, así como las empanadillas (recomiendo la de carne). Quizá algunos fritos los hacían en la misma freidora y captaba sabores de otros fritos, y eso es un pequeño punto negativo.

La taberna del Papi en Denia es el típico bar para tapear. Hay que tener en cuenta el clima de ese día, pues únicamente prestan servicio en terraza (dentro es muy pequeño). El personal es muy amable y servicial, la comida que pedimos es aceptable. Mi único “pero” fué el calamar frito, que, cómo decirlo… calamar no era, y de sabor… brillaba por su ausencia. Por lo demás bien.

We had a great lunch at "La Tapita del PAPi"! First of all, the waiter was extremely kind and he enjoyed his work, you can notice in the recommendations that he have, his vibes, the way he treated us... 10/10 for the Service. Olé! The food was delicious, and portions are generous as well. I am a bit disappointed with the bread with garlic, as the bread was simply terrible. Another thing that they should take care of is the shades, as the umbrellas are not covering correctly to the customers. Overall, a really good place where I will go back again! Thanks, Papi!

I recently visited this restaurant in Dénia and, while the dishes themselves were fairly simple, the experience was made truly enjoyable by the hospitality. The owner (Papi) went out of his way to find us a table and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. They sell some venezuelan food, so if you are an 'Empanada', 'Tequeños' or 'Pastelitos' lover this is the place in Denia! What really stood out was the generosity—he offered us some extra dishes to taste, which added a special touch and made the visit memorable. That kind of warm, attentive service makes a big difference and left us with a very positive impression. A great spot if you’re looking for straightforward food in a relaxed atmosphere, with the bonus of feeling genuinely looked after.

The salad was nicely presented and a large portion however the sweet dressing was too much and no other dressing. No bread served with salad. The service was great both waiter and waitress lovely and friendly. Overall disappointing however for a quick bite when hungry it’s okay.

Luca Welker

We have been visiting the tapas bar because of the good reviews and have been disappointed. The location near the harbor is of course nice but also a little noisy. However, we didn’t like the food at all. The tapas haven’t been tasty at all and also have been looking as made without love. The price for that is very high!

Jacek Szymanski

Defiantly don’t recommend after season. Waitress was very nice and spoke good English, but the food was terrible and prices way overhead. Microwaved potato from tortilla de patata and a bite of unfrozen deepfried octopus pulp were not exactly what I expected from a 4.7 star bar. I guess the main advantage was the location that is not that crucial off-season, hence 2 star total.

Todavía estamos tratando de entender cómo este restaurante tiene tan buena puntuación… ¿Una cámara oculta, quizás? Pedimos pollo: seco como la meseta castellana en agosto. Las empanadas y algunas croquetas llegaron frías por dentro, como si las hubieran descongelado con una mirada triste. Nada estaba realmente bueno, todo dejaba un goût de “¿en serio cobramos por esto?” Pero ojo, ¡el alma del lugar es Papi! El dueño es tan simpático que casi nos hizo olvidar que habíamos comido regular. Solo por él, el restaurante gana una estrella… pero que no se la dé a la cocina.
