Taberna La Sorpresa

Amazing tuna carpaccio and sashimi, lovely tapas, and great local wines and vermouth. Excellent service including a menu in English. Would highly recommend visiting.

If you are looking for local delicious fresh seafood and nice domestic wine. If you are looking for a Spanish colorite, if you want to see and feel a family-running business in Cadiz with great flavor and make your evening special, you should visit this place. The place is not fancy however it gives you full atmosphere of Cadiz. Great tuna tartar is in Taberna la surpesa, fancy tuna tar tar in Vadiz is Musalima. :) Have joy and make this place must have while you are in Cadiz.

We went for their blue fin tuna tartar, paired with a perfect sherry, and then added a few more tapas for good measure. Fantastic!! The staff were so friendly and professional. I highly recommend this little place.

Extremely friendly staff! We walking in looking a little lost, not sure what to do (our first authentic tapas bar) and we were warmly greeted and given a seat at the bar. Excellent wine and the food was delicious. A lot of locals filled the place, we very much enjoyed it!

Gorgeous little spot doing a tight but amazing selection of food - excellent assortment of wine by the glass

This was the best meal in my 10 days in Spain hands down. The fish was so fresh it was mind blowing. The waitress was extreme kind as well. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our meal at Taberna La Sorpresa! The tomato salad, ham, and tuna sashimi were all incredible: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was so charming and welcoming. A true gem!

Smelled of new paint, not good for a tavern, probably they are getting it ready for carnaval. Nice place, but surprised not to get table service outside, so I had to go back inside to order, no biggie. Ordered a Manzanilla and achovy + aguacate. 4€ for the anchovy. I realise it's a delicacy, but I felt ripped-off all the same. I thought the photos online gave the impression of somewhere quality but down to earth, whereas infact it's quality with prices to match.
