Soultapas in Bad Salzuflen

Wow, we are thrilled! A visit is very worthwhile. I was afraid that I would find little vegan options in a health resort like Bad Salzuflen. But I was wrong. Very large selection of vegan tapas, but of course also “normal” tapas with meat and fish etc. 10/10 stars! Birgit Harbins served fabulously and the ambience seems very authentic.

Unfortunately, it was much better a few years ago than it is now. The food was okay, but nothing more. The first drinks were served after 20 minutes. What a shame.

Not a good Spaniard! I have no idea how it lasts so long!

Loving restaurant and a very nice owner, small, fine, feel-good restaurant. The dishes were all very good, top 👍🏻👍🏻.

Incredibly great taste experience, super nice boss, very appealing ambience, you have to be there

You just have to try it for yourself and enjoy it

Spontanes Abendessen im Soultapas. Die Tapas waren sehr lecker und die Inhaberin war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben den Abend sehr genossen. Unser Getränk war eine leckere Sangria dazu aßen wir Scampis, Kroketten, Chorizo, warmen Ziegenkäse mit Feigen und Manchego Käse als Abschluss. Alles schmeckte uns hervorragend. Wir können das kleine Restautant sehr empfehlen.

After much consideration, I have now decided to write a review. I prefer to write positive reviews... We were at Soultapas three months ago and had reserved a table for 7 people. We were there a little early. It was extremely cold weather, our table was already set and free. My polite request as to whether we could take a seat was not well received by the landlady. She seemed very overwhelmed. We were also immediately offered that we would just have to wait longer. No problem, (we thought) we were planning on spending part of the evening comfortably with delicious tapas and good wine anyway. Our drinks only came after 45 minutes, the first meal (three tapas!) came after 1 1/2 hours. After more than three hours, with some very long breaks in between, the last dishes were finally at the table. We were stuffed! Our drink orders while waiting only seemed to annoy the landlady. To be honest, if I as a host notice that some of my guests are being neglected due to the restaurant being at maximum capacity or for whatever reason (something can always go wrong), then I treat the guests to a little something or accommodate them in some other way. None of this was granted to us. It's a real shame because the food and wine were good. The service (the landlady), however, took some getting used to. The young man at the counter was the complete opposite and ensured that I gave the service here one star. We are in Bad Salzuflen every December. We probably won't visit Soultapas again.

Clear recommendation, everything is tip top! 😊

We were so excited about our visit that we came back the next day. Every dish tasted wonderful, the service was very friendly and the atmosphere with its many small details was inviting to discover.

We really liked it: service was very nice, the food was delicious and the restaurant is lovingly decorated. We'll definitely be back!

Six of us went to Soultapas today. The waitress, who was also the owner, seemed very overwhelmed. After 3/4 hour we got our drinks. After 1 1/2 hours the first tapas. First we got burnt bread with aioli - half an hour later the next dishes, which tasted okay but not particularly good - after 2 1/2 hours we got the last dishes - at that point we weren't hungry anymore - some dishes were then completely forgotten. An apology for this was then forgotten (fits the overall picture). Dirty dishes were piled up next to us. When we paid we wanted to pay separately, which was met with great annoyance. There was no farewell. Unfortunately very disappointing and not recommended!

A really nice location. The tapas are first class and the landlady "Brigit" is awesome, we're always happy to be there. An absolute recommendation. Especially when it is warm enough and you can sit in the wonderful outdoor area. You feel like you're on vacation and can escape everyday life.

Loving decor, great service and the food is just awesome

Still the best tapas you can have. Everything here is freshly cooked with a lot of love, it couldn't be better. As always, Birgit's service is unbeatable. Gladly again and again.

Simply cozy, nice and delicious. I can only recommend it.

Very tasty tapas and a great atmosphere and very friendly service.

Beautiful establishment, with a culinary and taste-balanced selection of dishes. Very nice owners. Is highly recommended!

Soul Tapas in Bad Salzuflen offers an outstanding culinary experience reminiscent of the lively atmosphere of Spain. The tapas are of the highest quality, lovingly prepared and simply fantastic in taste. Particularly noteworthy is the warm hospitality - our dog was also warmly welcomed and immediately given a bowl of water, which made us very happy. The creative interior design invites you to linger, and the selection of Spanish wines and cocktails rounds off the evening perfectly. A great place for anyone who appreciates good food, a relaxed atmosphere and pet-friendly service!

Great food, delicious wine, nice boss! Gladly again !

Were there yesterday and it was simply outstanding. Always happy, dear Birgit.

Wir haben mit 25 Personen gefeiert und dazu das ganze Restaurant "gemietet". Kurz gesagt: erstklassig. Das Essen war absolute Spitze, der Service superfreundlich und das alles zu einem durchaus moderaten Preis. Mehr geht nicht, alles Gäste waren begeistert!!!

So without wanting to rate it too badly, unfortunately service was very bad and everything took a very, very long time and only after signals did someone come... no one really cared whether there were drinks or empty plates there... Tapes were quite ok, very very small portions but the tortilia was a disgrace, old, completely dried out, absolutely not nice and tasty… beef fillet wrapped in bacon was unfortunately also cold… drinks were great but unfortunately there was no refill for 3 hours, 3 tapes and a drink well… sorry, unfortunately not again

Very friendly, delicious food and drinks

We received a very warm welcome, delicious drinks and a great meal. Comfortably furnished - we would love to come back 🤗

A bright star over the unified food output facilities nearby. Truly delicious, creative plates, almost Hispanic mood transition. Best to free the staff to choose for you. The only issue is with the too small sized tables.

Absolute recommendation, excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere, dishes come one after the other,

After a lot of back and forth, we finally got a table here. The welcome was warm. The staff is nice and accommodating. The food is delicious, at least most of it. We chose tapas. Most Spanish restaurants offer tapas menus at a certain price. Here, however, all tapas are priced individually, which of course drives up the price in the end. Everything was delicious, except for the tuna meatballs and the calamari rings. Both were fried to death. We got the table opposite the kitchen, which was also noticeable in our clothes the next day. The clothes smelled like a chip shop. A young waiter had difficulties with the German language, which made it difficult to order drinks or make inquiries. However, this didn't really affect the quality of the service. A lot of time had passed before the last course, so you were unsure whether there was anything else to come. When we asked about desserts, we were told there would be another course. Thanks to the new taxation, it's ultimately not the cheapest restaurant. Conclusion: small and cozy restaurant, somewhat expensive but tasty food, nice staff. Table should be reserved.

Had dinner at Soultapas yesterday and loved it. We thought the ambience was great and the food was excellent. Before eating, the friendly waitress explained to us that the tapas we ordered would be served one by one, which would take some time because everything was freshly prepared. As already mentioned in other reviews, the country bread was very darkly roasted and the salt was not spared either. But we enjoyed it. The other tapas we had (dates with hummus, bacon-wrapped goat cheese, seafood paella, chicken and fried anchovies) were all fantastic. Freshly made and of very good quality. We drank the obligatory sangria, red and white. Also very tasty. Overall, a great, delicious evening. We'll be back!!!

Immer wieder gut und immer wieder neue Tapas Kreationen. Und erst die Chefin im Service ist einfach super. Trotz vollem Haus strahlt sie eine Ruhe aus und lässt den Abend ein Erlebnis werden.

Great food, nice attentive staff.

The food was to die for. The location is very cozy and inviting. We'll definitely be back...

Really cosy restaurant, amazing food!

First of all, we were happy to get a table for 5 people at very short notice. We were told in advance that it would be tight because it was almost fully booked; it's all ok. In addition to the drinks, which arrived quickly, each of us had ordered two different tapas in advance. We had to wait a relatively long time for the first half of the tapas. The rest had still not been served after more than an hour, even though there were hardly any other guests (max. 4 people) present and the first few bowls had long since been empty. The waitress didn't want to hear the criticism, so we ended our culinary evening there and looked for a nice alternative. The quality of the tapas was “okay”, but very overpriced!!!

Yesterday we ate with friends at the Soultapas restaurant for the first time...and the last time. The tapas were very manageable, some were too salty, goat cheese was still frozen and prepared incorrectly. But some were also delicious. A small glass of Carlos No. 1 cost 9 euros! The service was friendly and fair, the tapas that were criticized were not charged.

Well... what's positive is that we spontaneously got a place with 5 people. The service was great and friendly. The negative aspects were the waiting time for the food, the price and the fact that unfortunately only 60% of the food was really good. The cook was probably quite in love.

Unfortunately not as good as last year. Waiting for over an hour until dips and bread arrived when asked. This was mostly not country bread, but pizza rolls and small sticks, some of them very dark, probably ready-made. The bacon-wrapped dates were also very dark, the fritata was inedible and the mushrooms that we were so looking forward to were watery, unseasoned and there was no taste of sherry. After our complaint, the food we complained about was deducted from the bill, which was okay. The staff is obviously overwhelmed. We won't eat there anymore.

Hervorragende spanische Tapas, die frisch zubereitet wurden und eine gute Weinauswahl. Als spanisches Bier gab es Estrella Gallicia. Wir waren angenehm überrascht und höchst zufrieden. Die Einrichtung fanden wir originell.

Four of us had dinner there on a Wednesday evening. We were warmly welcomed and served with great friendliness. We sat in the winter garden, which is very comfortably furnished and invites you to sit for a long time. We ordered quite a few tapas and I have to say they were all excellent. The dishes were very individually prepared and a true miracle of taste. Tomatoes with caramelized cane sugar and a little spiciness! WOW! Well, in short, a very nice and delicious restaurant, I would recommend it to everyone!

Very tasty, but a bit expensive for the portion size.

Delicious food and delicious drinks. We really enjoyed the evening

Very nice tapas restaurant with very friendly service and great food. Highly recommended.

Wonderful tapas and warm people! A place to feel good. We'd love to come back. ❤️

We have been guests several times and each time we have received a very friendly welcome. The service and the food are really great.

Great food, friendly and good conditions, a very nice evening!!

Not cheap, but maximum enjoyment! Particularly worthwhile for people who don't (don't want to) drink alcohol.

Super tasty, great, lovely service 👏🏻 Thank you very much for the lovely evening. Greetings from the Hamburg girls🙋🏼‍♀️

Great restaurant with a special and cozy atmosphere. Creative cuisine and nice service. We will be back.

Went there once a few weeks ago; everything was fine. Very good food + good tips/suggestions from the boss regarding the food. Yesterday I wanted to invite another friend there and we were so rudely dismissed by the boss that I was almost embarrassed that I had previously praised the restaurant so much. A little tip if you're (understandably) annoyed because you can't get to your actual work because of all the guests streaming in: put up a sign right at the entrance saying it's full/terrace occupied/there are long waiting times in the guest room/whatever. But brushing off guests in annoyance without even looking at them is completely unprofessional. Addendum after the restaurant owner's answer: we'll definitely do it. Thank you for your reply :-)

My favorite tapas bar! The dishes are prepared and served with attention to detail (see photos). The sauces that go with it: unique! Vegans and vegetarians will also find what they are looking for here, there is something for everyone. The restaurant is very cozy and the staff is very nice. Birgit is extremely attentive and yet not “intrusive”. Very pleasant atmosphere. Thank you for everything!

We recommend. Great tapas and friendly service.

Sensational!!! We went there in a larger group based on a recommendation. From the ambience to the service.....perfect🤗 The tapas are simply divine👌 Will definitely be back👍

Very cute restaurant with a nice waitress and the food tasted great!😊

Spontaneous find on a small side street. Tapas are prepared with a lot of love. No mass processing. Very, very tasty, I could still eat it, at least in terms of taste...: 😜 Birgit has her own house rules, which every guest can read before entering the restaurant. Shortly after 5 p.m. there were already 8 guests there. Birgit has been living and loving tapas for 27 years and was previously in Spain. I'm grateful to have found this place... it's just a shame that I live almost 580 km away from it. Thank you Birgit for this end of the day

Beautiful, atmospheric restaurant with a wide choice of delicious vegan tapas dishes

It tasted good, but wasn't outstanding. Basically, the problem was that the tapas came at far too long intervals. It wasn't too crowded. Less than a third of the seats were occupied. There was 1.5 hours between the first and last tapas and then three things were completely forgotten. We were 6 people with 2 children, with children it's not so good if it drags on like that. People there were very friendly, but in the end it wasn't enough for a better rating.

...if you don't know it, you wouldn't suspect it in Bad Salzuflen... A nice tapas place!!!

Really great tapes store. Everything is freshly prepared and tastes super delicious. 1000 thanks for that.

Wer leckere Tapas, eine tolle Atmosphäre und einen prima Service haben möchte, sollte das Soultapas ausprobieren. Wir waren bisher zweimal da und jedes mal war es ein Highlight. Danke Birgit und Team 🙏

We have been there twice so far and each time it was a very nice experience. The boss of Soultapas Biirgit, a very lovely person, took great care of her guests and our wishes. The ingredients for the tapas are high quality and the vegetarian tapas we had were a delight. The best tapas we have eaten so far. All in all highly recommended!

A very successful evening with gastronomy professionals!

Super delicious food, great service, will be our regular restaurant!!!

A very special tappas bar. Family atmosphere, tappas of a special type and quality and a great drinks list with great wines. All of this in a cozy location, in the middle of the old town.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service. We particularly liked the fried squid, fresh figs with goat cheese, pepper sauce and the white sangria. Personally, the bread was a bit too toasty for us, but we immediately swapped it for something less hard, so everything was very uncomplicated. The whole atmosphere is very chilled and gives you a holiday feeling. We'll be back in summer at the latest, the outdoor seating also looks very comfortable. Good and coherent concept.

Everything perfect! We recommend

You can also experience a short Spanish holiday in the spa town. Authentic tapas with great service. The seafood and fish dishes in particular were a dream.

Birgit, the owner who served us on two evenings, is incredibly attentive and warm. It's worth a visit for the service alone. But: in addition to the charming, family atmosphere, the food is also convincing. Nothing on the tapas menu tastes interchangeable: everything is somehow special. Whether vegetarian, with fish or - if you eat it - meat, everything was unusual and tasty and you will be full. Three tapas per person is a good amount. They can have drinks too.

Soul tapas is an absolute must in Bad Salzuflen! The warmth and passion with which restaurateur Birgit runs her restaurant make a visit here an unforgettable experience. Your personal touch can be felt in every detail, from the welcoming atmosphere to the selection of exquisite tapas. Birgit's commitment to quality and service is admirable and is reflected in every dish. If you are looking for a place that not only offers top-notch tapas but also warm hospitality, then Soultapas is for you. Highly Recommended!

Soultapas ist ein absolutes Muss in Bad Salzuflen! Die Herzlichkeit und Leidenschaft, mit der die Gastronomin Birgit ihr Restaurant führt, machen den Besuch hier zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Ihre persönliche Note ist in jedem Detail spürbar, von der einladenden Atmosphäre bis hin zur Auswahl der exquisiten Tapas. Birgits Engagement für Qualität und Service ist bewundernswert und spiegelt sich in jedem Gericht wider. Wenn Sie nach einem Ort suchen, der nicht nur erstklassige Tapas, sondern auch eine herzliche Gastfreundschaft bietet, dann ist Soultapas genau das Richtige für Sie. Absolut empfehlenswert!

A very nice evening spent with top service and plenty of choice. Thank you, we will see you again

My wife and I received a very warm welcome. Something about the process was briefly explained, which we found very helpful. The atmosphere is very attractive and cozy. You can tell that you are here with love. The tapas was also very tasty. If we were to be in Bad Salzuflen again, Soultapas would be one of our first port of call. Absolutely recommended. Many thanks to the small team.

Spanish tapas doesn't get any better! We are always happy to come back and enjoy the special evenings at Soultapas!

Spend a wonderful evening in a relaxed atmosphere, with delicious food and excellent drinks. Like spending a great evening in a cozy living room with good friends. Always my pleasure. Big praise to the boss and her team

Thank you for a wonderful evening with absolutely delicious food and a great feel-good atmosphere. Friendly staff and very humane owner with a good feeling for her guests.

Der Abend war einfach wunderbar. Toller Service, tolle Tapas und eine wilde, aber tolle Inneneinrichtung. Die Qualität und Geschmack der von uns ausgewählten Tapas waren insgesamt großartig. Die Servicekraft war zuvorkommend und wirklich Klasse.

We were here to try another Spanish restaurant, but wouldn't come back. The operation and service were great, very warm and accommodating even when the store became fuller. Portions are sometimes very small and prices are high. Waiting time VERY long. We were there for over 3 hours and then left (still hungry) because we didn't want to order again and wanted to be there an extra hour. Food was okay on average, although some things (like the beef fillet, prawns or goat cheese with mango salsa) were very, very good and some other things were not good (e.g. the beetroot carpaccio, paella). Ventilation in the restaurant was not good, it was hot when we entered and it got worse as the evening went on, so we went outside several times. Toilet is old but clean. Parking in the parking garage about a 5 minute walk is best because it is in the city center (although very narrow passage).

Super delicious food. Great, fast and very friendly service. Right to feel good.

The evening was simply wonderful. Great service, great tapas and a wild but amazing interior design. Overall, the quality and taste of the tapas we chose were great. The service staff was courteous and really great. We had a great evening.

Eine der besten Tapasbars, die ich kennengelernt habe. Jedes Tapasgericht war ein Gedicht, denn hier wird einfach alles selbst gemacht. Die Sardinen (frittiert oder als "Hochzeit") waren mega. Die Datteln gefüllt mit Walnuss unfassbar lecker. Die Auswahl an Getränken grandios: die Hausweine, die Cocktails, der Cortado. Und die Bedienung ist einfach nur wunderbar: aufmerksam, unfassbar nett, einfach nur lieb. Wenn wir nicht 300km weg wohnen würden, wäre das unser Stammlokal!!!!

It was a great evening, the food was fantastic, the service was excellent. Absolutely recommended!!!we will definitely come back 😍

The best tapas far and wide. Always my pleasure.

...excellent, the finest Spanish cuisine. Update: ...still the best even after four years

Great food, great team! Highly Recommended. I'll be back!

Excellent recommendation of dishes by the nice landlady. The service was also great. And the food was a dream. The cocktails = wow. Price/performance are okay. Any time!!

We had a really great evening. The tapas were super tasty, and the way everything was served little by little was perfectly coordinated. Ona took very good care of us. A special thank you to you. With you it's always like a cozy visit at home.

If you go in here you will experience honest people, great personalities, good food and the most relaxing evening. I consider it a private living room and always feel at home.

Leider war der Abend ein kompletter Reinfall. Wir verstehen, das die Personaldecke in der Gastronomie aktuell dünn ist. Allerdings bedeutet das nicht, dass man seine neue Mitarbeiterin an einem vollen Samstagabend einarbeiten sollte und dafür noch zu den Gästen sagt: “Die hat es noch nicht so drauf”. Das ist kein Umgang, den ein Gast gerne hört! Wir haben fast 1h 45 Minuten auf unsere Tapas gewartet, dann kamen verbrannte Datteln im Speckmantel, die das Highlight unseres Abends waren. Die patatas bravas waren ähnlich wie das Hähnchen vollkommen trocken, die Sauce dazu ganz nett, sie hat den Rest aber leider nicht retten können. Das erste Weinglas war nur daumenbreit gefüllt und die Maracujaschorle schmeckte schon zu Beginn der Wartezeit nach Wasser. Wir waren kurz davor aufzustehen und zu gehen, als endlich das Essen kam. Schade. Vielleicht war es heute eine absolute Ausnahme und sonst läuft alles super, das können wir nicht beurteilen. Fakt ist: Wir wurden sehr enttäuscht. Für das heutige Essen können wir leider keine Empfehlung aussprechen.

Ein wunderbar es ,kleines Restaurant mit einer herzallerliebsten Chefin.Wi haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.

Super netter Service,lecker essen.

Ein Fleckchen Spanien in Bad Salzuflen! 🙂

Ein sehr gutes eintauchen in die Welt der kulinarischen Spanischen Kultur. Tapas alle sehr gut zubereitet. Wir fanden es Toll und kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant, super nette aufmerksame Bedienung, Essen und Wein vorzüglich. Kann man nur empfehlen! 1.a Allen einen guten Rutsch!

Ausgezeichnete Tapas von überragender Qualität. Das Ambiente im Innenhof ist fantastisch und versetzt einen in Urlaubsstimmung. Eine exzellente Adresse, die ich wärmstens empfehlen kann.

Sehr schöne Tappas.Aber sehr kalt im Lokal

Für alle Tapas-Liebhaber DAS Lokal in Bad Salzuflen. Dazu gibt's ausgesucht gute Weine und einen sehr aufmerksamen Service.

Ein bisschen Spanienfeeling in Bad Salzuflen... Urige kleine Bar mit einer schönen Auswahl an Tapas und spanischen Weinen. Authentisch, spanisch, von einer Inhaberin geführt, von der wir den Eindruck hatten, dass sie gerne Gastwirtin ist. Wem die Philosophie und die Hausordnung zusagt, der wird sich hier sicherlich wohl fühlen.

Super gemühtliche Atmosphäre und die besten Tapas die wir gegessen haben. Wir kommen wieder !

War ein sehr schöner Tapas - Abend, die Chefin hat uns super beraten und extra darauf hingewiesen, dass wir jederzeit nachbestellen können. Die Tapas waren hervorragend! Und die extra für uns zusammen gestellte Käseplatte zum Abschluss ebenfalls. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Ein kleines aber feines Restaurant. Die Begrüßung war sehr herzlich und zuvorkommend .Die Speisen und Getrönkekarte war sehr gut. Das Essen war wirklich sehr gut und der Service überragend ! Preis/Leistung:sehr gut 👍

Sehr gemütlich mit den typischen spanischen Speisen. Sehr lecker und empfehlenswert.
