A cost place for Spanish food. There was a variety of tapas available and they were generally good.I was impressed by the tortilla and pork cheeks, both were well cook and in good texture. Though the seafood were not the best I have had in Edinburgh and some were relatively small in portions.The waitress did make good recommendations on the sherry - there were lots of choices of sherry on the menu, from dry to very sweet ones. We simply loved what we had.There is a dance studio named Alba Flamenca adjacent to Tapas 3. It holds flamenco performance sometimes and I visited once during the Fringe, worth to check if there would be any show when you decide to dine in Tapas 3.

Was here with friends on an early-ish Saturday evening. I think we had one of the last tables without booking. Pleasant atmosphere.There's a dedicated vegetarian section on the menu, but if you're allergic to aubergines like me, it can get very potato heavy. One of my orders was the omelette, which turned out to be half potato. Wish I knew beforehand as I ended up having two potato dishes!Service was mostly friendly and engaging, but they have a tendency to remove plates from the table at speed. I wanted to keep the sauce from the omelette for the rest of the potatoes, but the waitstaff just swifted in and took it away.Note: if you're not an actual big eater like me, you might want to start with 2 plates first, then decide if you'll want a third. A couple of my friends had 4 (even though the waitstaff kindly advised the above), and they ended up being super full.

Enjoyed the ambiance and the service was great! A very cozy and well designed place! The mise en place of the food was surprisingly nice for its price!

Delicious food at reasonable prices and good portions. Would especially recommend the almond tart - one of the best desserts I’ve ever had

Went here on a whim before heading on holiday to Spain to get us in the mood. I really did the job. Fantastic food, staff and setting. I really must give a shout-out to the staff they could not have been more friendly and accommodating only to be matched by the outrageously good food.

Had a lovely time at Tapas3. Laura was a wonderful waitress. The passion fruit martini was amazing! The tapas were also good, black pudding was the best followed by the octopus. Enjoyed the meat and cheese boards! Visit if you get a chance!

I've been here three times in a month! There aren't that many Spanish restaurants and it was great to discover this one.The food is really lovely -- fresh, tasty, and a decent selection (the menu isn't huge but I like that they focus on making everything as good as possible). I especially like the cod croquettes, the grilled peppers, the pork cheeks and the cold meat/cheese platter. The only disappointing dish for me (and I've tried like 20, I'm not kidding) was the aubergine -- I expected quite a lot from the description but it just didn't really do much for me.Service - knowledgable and friendly staff, making for a relaxed time.Atmosphere -- it's a small place but well laid out so it doesn't feel congested. Simple but effective, and I like that you can see the kitchen/bar as they prepare things. Hard to believe they do such nice food from such a tiny kitchen actually!One little complaint: I booked lunch for a week's time and when I turned up, they'd gotten rid of their lunch deal. It was kind of the reason I had booked lunch in the first place. In the end it cost me about £40 instead of £30 (for two people) so not a huge problem but I wish they had the lunch deal (or maybe noticed that I'd booked when it existed and honoured that, but I get it.)I'll certainly be back, I'm sure!
