In Spain, tapas are really just a reason to linger a little longer. No plans, no rush – just good wine, something salty on the table, and conversations that slowly drift into the evening 🍷
This week at Ada – jamón, house-made focaccia, olives, and a glass of something worth slowing down for.
We’d love to have you in this week 🌿

Croquetas with truffle, chorizo, anchovy & ajo negro aioli 🌿
Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, with just the right amount of richness and saltiness. One of those plates that somehow disappears very quickly from the table🍃

A Peruvian classic – fresh fish cured in leche de tigre, the sharp citrus marinade that gives ceviche its signature brightness.
At Ada, we serve ours with avocado, canchita and aji amarillo – clean, vibrant and full of contrast.
Technically designed for sharing. In reality, not always 🌿🔥

New week 🍷
We’re open from Tuesday – come by the bar for a glass of something good. Something from Spain or Latin America, a NZ favourite, or a cocktail if the mood calls for it.
Staying for dinner? Take your time with the menu – tapas, larger plates, or just leave it to us and let the kitchen do the rest.
Walk-ins welcome. Book ahead if you’d like to be sure.
