Santos Tapas Bar Cafeteria in Nürnberg

The food was delicious and served super quickly. Our server, "Domi," was unbeatable… Attentive, prompt, and very personable… All in all, a great success…

Yesterday we were guests at this tapas bar with several people and overall we were largely satisfied with our visit and the service provided. We tested many of the tapas offered on the menu, most of which we found to be good and tasty, but some were missing that certain something. The portions of the individual tapas are not particularly large and are usually more suitable for one person, so that they are less likely to be shared between two or three people. We found the price of the tapas, which were always served to us super quickly, to be reasonable for the portion size. Unfortunately, the sangria served couldn't convince us. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and overall offers a really nice, rustic atmosphere to linger in with the charm of a small tapas bar, even if it is a bit cramped at times. A big compliment goes to the great service, which was super friendly and very attentive, and kept asking if everything was OK with us. Overall, we are happy to recommend this tapas bar. At the same time, however, we also have to say that we have already been to tapas bars where we were even more impressed with the taste of the tapas and with larger portions.

Great food, impeccable, very friendly service!

The food isn't as good as last year, it's a shame, we won't be back for the money. And the portion is very small.

Everything here is delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. I'd love to come back.

The food was very good; the wine list could be a bit longer, but we still found something we liked. The service was friendly, quick, and attentive. All in all, a wonderful evening with delicious food! We'd be happy to come back.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening here. The online reservation worked well and the tapas were very tasty. Re-ordering was done as the service staff walked past and was super quick, perfect for a table full of tapas.

Every table was occupied, reservations made sense, very nice service, delicious food.

I enjoyed it under the previous owner, and I've been back several times now, during the coronavirus pandemic, afterward, and just last weekend. But what can I say, it's fantastic. I just love Santos :) Really delicious tapas, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good wines, and they have Carajillo :)

I was here for the first time yesterday and was thrilled. The tapas were very tasty and the atmosphere was typical: a bit cramped, a bit loud, pretty tiles on the walls - just the way I would like it to be in a cozy, crowded little tapas bar. The service was friendly, quick and attentive. And I think the location below the castle is great! I'll be back soon!

It was like a Spanish tapas bar, great tapas. Fast, friendly and attentive service. Sometimes it was just too loud.

I had a very good meal in the authentic restaurant. You feel like you're somewhere in the middle of Madrid. Highly recommended.

As always, very good, you feel at home

Food is amazingly delicious, service is great - always happy!

The tapas are very tasty! Large selection, something for everyone. Great service, very attentive and friendly service.

Very tasty food, service staff top.

Have reserved a table for weeks. It was canceled five days before the date because a larger group needed the places. Absolute no-go. Won't go there anymore.

Very tasty dishes, super nice staff and a very nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back!

It's a place I'll never stop coming to. The quality of the food and services is now even better. You can have a great evening and wake up with a happy stomach. Bravo👏🏻 🤌🏻

It was a wonderful experience! Perfect ambience, delicious food and cocktails! I will definitely visit again! Delicious food, unique cocktails!

Small but nice, very cozy, great service, very good food

Food was great! Service on point. We had Chris as our waitress for the evening and he was not only personable but also always available and gave good advice. We'll definitely come back.

Very nice atmosphere and good food! The sangria is also recommended.

After being here off and on over the last two years and always being satisfied, I was really disappointed this time. It's not what it was before... too bad...

Great location with a nice ambience. Delicious tapas and enough choice, so there is something for every taste.

A small, fine restaurant with extremely tasty tapas and very nice staff! Not cheap, but corresponding to the quality.

Nice cozy restaurant. Fast service. Great food, I'd love to come back.

The atmosphere is always very nice and the service is very good. Unfortunately, in contrast to our last visit a year ago, the food was no longer as tasty.

Super super delicious food. Afterwards you will never want to eat tapas anywhere else again!

Really nice and comfortable place. With good food and good personal. If you want to try something in particular, that it's 100% the place.

Great store, super nice staff, great atmosphere and the food is phenomenal! would love to come back

Really perfect tapas, very tasty and absolutely impeccably prepared. Unfortunately the price is a bit high, rather than something you treat yourself to often. Be sure to reserve. When it's full, it can be a bit noisy and a table for two is a bit tight. There is a slightly unpleasant draft right outside the window in winter. When making your reservation, perhaps mention that you don't want to sit by the window. Definitely but always worth a visit.

Very nice evening, only the music was a bit too loud for us

Great food and excellent service in a beautiful restaurant

The food was very tasty. Conditions were also super friendly.

Excellent tapas, with friendly service. Small shop with an open kitchen and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Delicious food and friendly staff! Absolutely recommended.

Just bad since the change of ownership. Bad unfriendly service and eating out of the freezer.

Unfortunately disappointing! I used to come here often, but unfortunately since the change of ownership the quality is no longer the same. The wine I ordered was stale and really didn't taste right. I let it go back, but still had to pay for it - an absolute no-go! Instead of understanding, I was involved in an unpleasant discussion with the waiter. Unfortunately, service and quality are no longer what they used to be. It's a shame, but I won't be coming back.

Great location Nice service Great ambience and atmosphere You have to go💛

We had a wonderful evening with my friends, service ambience everything was TOP 💃

The tapas were really tasty, everything happened very quickly, the service was great!

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, always happy!

Great atmosphere. Enjoy your meal. Nice staff

Very friendly staff, delicious food, perfectly prepared and quickly at the table after ordering and they always asked if everything was right or if there was anything else they would like. The atmosphere is very cozy. I'll definitely come back

Friendly service, the food came very quickly. Delicious

The service was really great, our waiter took great care of us. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer right at all. The portions are far too small and seem just too puny. It's a real shame because it was my favorite Spanish so far.

Great food, very cozy atmosphere. I love coming here regularly.

The food is good. Sometimes the portions are too small for the price. The billing in the end didn't really work smoothly. Many dishes were billed incorrectly or assigned to the wrong people. Overall too expensive

Good food, wine and vibe. Reservations are recommended!

On our annual Christmas market tour we chose the SANTOS tapas bar in Nuremberg and were NOT disappointed. We felt like we were on vacation in Spain because of the delicious TAPAS. The staff was also very friendly and the service was courteous. Really recommended. Thanks for the service and the delicious food. Greetings from the Black Forest...🌲🥳

Nice tapas bar. Food was super tasty and extremely quick at the table. Service very nice. Atmosphere great, albeit cozy. Definitely make a reservation.

Our favorite restaurant in Nürnberg!

Very cozy and nice staff. We'd love to come back.

“Santos” is a real highlight for lovers of Spanish cuisine in Nuremberg. The restaurant impresses with a cozy atmosphere and excellent service. The tapas are authentic and taste to the point. Highly recommended!!

I found a piece of metal in my food, which had come off some of the kitchen equipment, and all I got was an "you're unlucky" Still had to pay the full bill with the taste of metal in my mouth... Horrible place. In any case overpriced and staff is not well trained.

Long waiting times, crowded and too hot/loud. Food however was great.

Tables where you can directly observe the food making in the kitchen. Gives you a very authentic atmosphere.

Small portions for a lot of money Very tight to sit on

An experience for the senses. It's worth every penny 🙏

Food was quickly at the table, tapas are above average for Nuremberg. Service was attentive but not annoying. If you want to complain, you could say it's a bit tight. Others would say comfortable 😁

Favorite tapas spot in Nürnberg so far!

Top place with quality tapas (carne) dishes, where the house wine was a perfect match. Unfortunately, we were short on time, otherwise we would have stayed for a long time!

As always, very tasty, would love to come back.

A super lovely team, with outstanding food! Thank you for the lovely evening and the cake on top!

As always, the tapas are delicious and I always feel like I'm in the Canary Islands. It's great that there is something like this in Nuremberg!

The tapas is quite nice. The atmosphere is also very good due to quite close environment, although difficult to get a seat sometime. The waitresses are very friendly and caters quite well. I would suggest though having some more fish options like sardines if possible

We have enjoyed coming to Santos for many years. Food, service, everything was top. We always enjoy our evenings to the fullest and are always happy to recommend it to friends.

The beer garden was great, an excursion into the depths: the cellar was great, in the shade in the summer at 35. Cooling down in Geilenkirchen

One of the best places in Nuremberg for tapas

Everything was perfect, but unfortunately you sit far too close together... Otherwise great!!

My husband and I went to Santos for the first time yesterday The atmosphere is very cozy and authentic The service was extremely professional and not at all intrusive. The bartender had an attentive eye. We were allowed to watch the cooking. The chef treated the food very respectfully and shone in terms of taste in every category offered. We were very satisfied and will make the restaurant our regular Spaniard!!!

Very nice ambience with somewhat loud acoustics, high performance and friendliness of the service, the food as delicious as always, we would like to come back!

I had the pleasure of visiting Santos Spanish Restaurant today, it was really good. The ambience was authentic - a good mix of traditional Spanish flair and younger design. The warm colors and lovingly designed decorations create an inviting and cozy atmosphere, ideal for a relaxing evening with friends or family. The tapas were very good. The selection was varied and offered something for every taste. From classic patatas bravas to delicious prawns to more innovative creations - every tapas was a delight! The ingredients are fresh and taste authentic. The service was friendly and the waiters were able to give good advice when choosing dishes. Overall, it was a lovely evening in a restaurant that I can definitely recommend. If you're looking for an authentic Spanish experience with delicious food and a nice atmosphere, you won't be disappointed here.

They had no idea about aioli, it was a porridge with no taste, not a hint of garlic in it. Mass processing, leave it alone. Maybe interesting as a tourist app, once and never again, rip-off for little and tasteless food, the ambience doesn't help either

Das Lokal ist sehr schön eingerichtet, aber das Essen war eher enttäuschend, Miniportionen, klar bei Tapas ist es nicht viel aber man müsste schon mindestens 8 bestellen um einigermaßen satt zu werden. Besonders gut war es auch nicht , kaum gewürzt, fade. Dafür waren die Preise gesalzen. Keinen weiteren Besuch wert, Touri- Nepp hoch 5

The best Spanish restaurant!!! The food was great! And the staff is super nice! Plus they are dog friendly ☺️

Super delicious food, authentic tapas bar with friendly service!

What a lovely and pretty shop! Yesterday we strolled past here with a full stomach after 130 m. The cook had just opened the door and was sitting outside smoking coffee. Since we were interested in the menu display, he invited us upstairs to inspect it. Based on the look of the rooms and the convincing text from the “host”, we immediately reserved a table for the next evening. What joy when we came in for the opening today. Immediately recognized and remembered. We were given the most beautiful table in the back area with the door to the courtyard wide open. Overall extremely hospitable staff. Since we were given a menu yesterday, our list of tapas requests was already drawn up. All very tasty. The garlic “Ali-Oli” is exceptional, as it does not contain mayonnaise. If requested, the potatoes were left out with the chorizo. I found the red chili and green (chimichurri?) sauces, which were also placed on the table, to be excellent. Not only did we receive special “Happy Birthday” napkins; The chef presented us with homemade churros with a lit sparkler and the corresponding song from the music system. The cook joined me again for a digestive cigarette in front of the house. He talked about his Spanish-Jordanian heritage and that he owed his cooking skills to his grandmother. The Spanish restaurant has existed since 2005, but there has been a change of ownership in between. He explained the six-pointed brewer's star on the back of the house (which is meant to represent water, fire and air as well as the ingredients water, malt and hops) and pointed out the history board at the entrance. House number 24 on this street, along with another house (one with a beautiful bay window), remained almost undamaged after the war. At the end he acted as a city guide and walked with me a few steps further to a courtyard where there was a wine shop (Red Barrel), barrels of the original Nuremberg red beer behind glass and a whiskey warehouse. He said that this is part of the famous rock corridors (branching tunnel and cellar system under Nuremberg's old town). Absolutely AMAZING!

We happened to be stranded there, super nice, courteous service. Food, wine...everything perfect.

Great little tapas bar with a nice atmosphere. Food is not necessarily cheap, but the quality is very good. We'd love to come back

Super tasty tapas in a nice, not too big location Especially the cream Catalana is an absolute must 😊👍👍

By far the best tapas shop. The chef should get a raise. "me quito el sombrero"

Unfortunately, the food was never worth the price. The Ali-Olio is more like whipped cream that has just missed the garlic. The complaint was not addressed or received at all. Nevertheless, it was a great atmosphere and fast and friendly service.

Best tapas!!! We were spontaneously looking for a Spanish restaurant. I became aware of it during the first search thanks to the good reviews. Dropped by spontaneously and the friendly waitress was able to free up seats 🙌 From the table you can watch the chefs at work... and do so with great dedication and talent. Every single dish was incredibly good and we reordered several times. The ambience was also stylish and cozy. Absolutely TOP recommendation for every tapas lover!!!! Will 100% come back 🎉

Cozy little tapas bar with very tasty tapas (actually everything is recommended) and great service (they always asked if we needed anything else without being annoying). Price performance is appropriate. Have been here several times and would love to come back

tastes good, but too expensive as tapas

One of the best tapas bars in Nuremberg. The selection is large enough to offer sufficient variety, and the individual tapas are delicious and refined. The service is usually to the point, friendly and fits the price range. I always enjoy coming here and enjoying the Spanish flair. The only (small) downer for me is that there is little space. You can describe it as cozy, but also a bit cramped. Good for going with friends, entertaining is possible at any time, but not the first choice for a romantic date.

Great tapas, great service and really great food.

I can absolutely recommend it. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and super tasty.

Food was delicious, specifically all tapas as well as desserts.

The food was really very good. Lots of seafood options. Other than the usual dishes, I particularly liked the steak. Only, the spicy ribs was dry and overcooked. Also, we had to wait for 40mins for our food after ordering! I know its' busy and friday, but still the service was pretty slow.

Hervorragendes Tapas Restaurant. Zufällig gefunden, ohne vorher gegoogelt zu haben! Es war wirklich überwältigend. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Service was great, but the food was overcooked and under seasoned. Seems like they cater to a tourist's palate, because it was definitely not a very authentic tapas restaurant.

We went to “Santos” on the chance and were warmly welcomed... We were also lucky enough to get a spot spontaneously, which is not necessarily common on the weekend (it's always best to reserve) The ambience is fantastic and you can watch the chefs preparing the food... The staff was friendly and accommodating, we received great advice and had delicious meals prepared... we felt completely comfortable... and of course come back...

The tapas and drinks are great, perfectly priced and super tasty. The service is friendly, funny and often asks if everything is okay. The ambience is small, fine and gives a nice Spanish atmosphere 🇪🇸👍🏻

Very nice restaurant Food is really delicious

Best Gambas tapas in town!🦐🍤 Very nice waiters, you will receive a warm welcome and good advice! I always enjoy coming here!

Tip Top, food and service were top. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere, is a bit loud and a bit warm, but that's how it is in Spain 😂👍

I love this place. Food delicious, service good, ambience is good. Never been disappointed, but I don't need fancy tapas either
