Orange Tree Tapas and Grill in Tameside

Reviewed October 2021My foodie partner decided that I needed to refresh my Tapas style taste-buds as it has been a while since 2018 and my Korean encounter.. and the fact that that The Orange tree had been getting a lot of very good reviews and recommendations.Yes, the place IS small, a 'little' cramped and I would surmise quite noisy when full, maybe seating for 35-45. It was very quiet when we went there at 6pm on a Wednesday but soon was a 1/4 full by 7.30ish - so you could still hold a quiet conversation. Your choice of times to suit your needs and activity.Drinks:Rose house wine and Estrella DammAs it was Tapas style it was 'shares' which is always a good thing when wanting to sample many of the dishes without 'overdoing' it:Basket of warm bread & butterPatatas Brava- Potato's with spicy tomato sauceFabada Asturiana- Mixed beans in tomato & chilli saucePollo En Pimiento- Chicken breast strips, Paprika cream and wine sauce.Chorizo Al Vinto Tinto- Chorizo sausage in red wineGambas Pil Pil- King Prawns in garlic and lemonLubina EnEn Salsa Picante- Sea Bass (grilled) in a tomato sauce, light salad.and to finish it all off:The Orange Tree Messy.As my partner, simply adores Spanish/Portuguese and Mexican food she was in her element and a good help in choosing my initiation to a number of the dishes.I have to say, I really, really enjoyed them all. Non were overpowering and in a strange way complimented each other. I particularly liked the 'Pollo' and 'Chorizo' and as i am a fish lover I needed to try the Sea Bass, which was very well cooked and fell very nicely.What can I or my partner say about the Orange Tree Messy... it was, and so enjoyed.Personally, I'm ready and ok with trying some more dishes from The Orange Tree

I have lived in Denton for over a decade and for some reason I have not been to this restaurant until now, I of course will be back because out of all the restaurants in Denton for me this is head and shoulders above the rest.I can cook so when I ordered the sea bass I was a bit worried it would not live up to expectations,It was perfection it’s a small restaurant but that adds to a family feel, the staff where so nice and welcoming so natural and experienced very professional I would say all in all the best tapas in Manchester in my opinion.Thank you for great food experience.

Really good and excellent Tapas food and 👌 plus good selection of beer wine and really pleasant and helpful staff.

Very charming venue and atmosphere, the staff were polite and the food was fresh and tasteful…However, very underwhelmed by the shrimp dish. being one of the most expensive dishes on the menu close to £7 I was hoping for more the 3 sorry looking pieces of shrimp, which I can only presume was more likely to be the leftovers from a previous shrimp dish sent back as I was close to doing so myself, either that or they ran out either way if I’m spending close to £40 on 5 tapas dishes plus some fries I’d expect to be full enough that I’m not now writing this review sat in another restaurant looking for a quick fix.All jokes aside the venue is lovely and quaint and would go again if I was assured I’d be getting a bigger fill.

Great cosy little place. Top service and food was on point.

Fantastic food, cooked to perfection and served with a warm smile!! Lamb chops to die for!! Exquisite tapas dishes and delicious honeycomb cheesecake!! Can’t wait to come back for our next treat!!

We can’t thank the staff at The Orange Tree Tapas enough for making our wedding meal so special nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was delicious as always. A great night had by everybody. Thank you all so much Debbie and Andy xx 🎉🥂🎉

Never been here before, but went here tonight for my birthday meal and it was lovely, and will definitely be going there again. Food cooked to perfection, staff especially pleasant especially our waitress (sorry don't know her name but the blonde one lol). Highly recommended!

Wonderful food and nice inside. Disappointed with staff who took a dislike to me after I asked about their track and trace process, which seemed like a normal query in the current climate. Also a minor note the diet coke was flat and watery. A shame because I can't fault the food!

Great place. Really enjoyed our Christmas Eve, thank you to the staff. Great food (everything we had was amazing), great wine and beer menu. Can’t beat this place for tapas in the local area
