MADRID’S COMPLIMENTARY TAPA TRADITION IN ADELAIDE
In Madrid, ordering a drink often comes with a small savoury bite on the house — a tapa. It is a simple tradition built around generosity, conversation and taking time over a glass of wine.
At Bar Madrid in Norwood, we keep that madrileña tradition alive. Every drink includes a complimentary tapa, just as it does in the neighbourhood bars of Madrid. The tapa changes with the moment and might be warm bread with truffle cheese, jamón ibérico, a gilda or another small Spanish bite chosen to suit the drink.
The idea is not a formal meal or a complicated tasting. It is an invitation to pause, share a table and enjoy one more glass. Come in before dinner, after work or for a relaxed Sunday afternoon on The Parade.
Bar Madrid is open Wednesday to Sunday. Walk-ins are welcome.
A GUIDE TO SPANISH WINE AT BAR MADRID, NORWOOD
Spanish wine is wonderfully diverse: bright Albariño and Verdejo, elegant Tempranillo, savoury Garnacha, sparkling Cava and expressive wines from regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rías Baixas and beyond.
Our list at Bar Madrid brings together bottles from across Spain with standout South Australian wines. Many are available by the glass, so you can try something new without needing to know the language of wine. Tell us what you usually enjoy and we will help you find a glass that feels right.
A crisp white or Cava works beautifully with salty tapas and jamón. Lighter reds suit an early evening drink, while deeper Tempranillo and Garnacha are made for lingering. Every drink comes with a complimentary tapa — a small taste of Madrid in the heart of Norwood.
Visit us at 4/47 The Parade, Norwood. Parking is available at the rear.
